When I first moved to Ireland I was unexpectedly met by thousands of vacant churches. Massive halls formed a hollow emptiness which persisted for several months that eventually turned into years.

Bureau B reissues the eleventh solo album by German keyboardist Hans-Joachim Roedelius, originally released in 1986 on the small Norwegian label Cicada.

Audiopile Review: We were not completely shocked last year when it was announced that André 3000’s debut album would be a jazz record.

Audiopile Review: Want your life to feel all exotic and dreamlike? Throwing on something by fourth world music inventor Jon Hassell is always a good way to get there. But the mere fact that track one from 1987’s ‘Surgeon of the Nightsky…’ is called ‘Ravinia / Vancouver’ makes us feel like...
