Audiopile Review: For those who haven’t been keeping up on who Abul Mogard really is, he’s apparently now accepted to be an alias of Italian artist Guido Zen. Fine. Whatever. One slightly disconcerting aspect of this is that Abul Mogard releases quite a lot of albums. Given that Abul is...

Audiopile Review: Epic meet-up from two heavyweights of contemporary ambient and drone music—Abul Mogard and Rafael Anton Irisarri. Made up of two side-long tracks, Impossibly Distant is as monumental as you’d expect from two artists who both already trade in creating grand scale atmosphere. Consuming side A is “Place Of...

Guitarist Lee Underwood’s syncretic blend of jazz, folk, and blues was a tremendous force behind Tim Buckley’s genre-stretching late 60s/early 70s music—but his 1988 acoustic guitar opus California Sigh has remained a unsung footnote to his story. Until now! This first time vinyl-edition reveals Lee’s free-floating acoustic moods, with synths...

"Galvanised with a proper nEuropean feel for synthetic timbre, ‘Want’ firms up the needs of the Matthé brothers for proper, sophisticated synth-pop finesse. Immaculate measures of vocoders, FM synths and keys are wreathed into pellucid, breezy forms that drift from gauzy ballad (‘For Silence’) to floating Euro-disco (‘On the Heels’),...

Audiopile Review: There are those who believe it’s important to pay attention to the people who do something ‘best’ rather than those who do it first.

"The son of legendary Fluxus minimalist Yoshi Wada, Tashi Wada has thus far largely followed in his father's footsteps, composing vibratory oddities on 2014's cello-fwd 'Duets' and collaborating with his dad on 2018's wormhole-piercing wonder 'Nue'. 'What Is Not Strange?' flips the script, written over a period when Wada both...
