Audiopile Review: Alongside this week’s highlighted album by Dregs, Milan W.’s hyped new album was also sold out before landing in the shop, anxious customers banging down the door with an inescapable case of FOMO. As it’s been going these days, that resulted in the first pressing ballooning in price...

Merope's most experimental full length to date, Vėjula is a celebration of collaboration and playfulness, and features appearances from Shahzad Ismaily, Laraaji and Bill Frisell. Like its predecessors, the duo's fifth album still roots itself in Lithuanian folk forms, but sprouts out spiritedly from that point into unfamiliar landscapes, muddling...

Audiopile Review: Debut album proper under his own name for Copenhagen-based producer Anton Friisgaard, who we had last heard via his crackled ambient tape experiments on the Janushoved cassette imprint released under the Hviledag moniker. Like so many contemporary electronic artists, Friisgaard has been experimenting with the ritualistic melodies and...

Audiopile Review: It’s no surprise to learn that Belgian ambient veterans Pablo’s Eye once released an album on the Extreme label, home of ‘90s dark ambient classics from Paul Schütze and Shinjuku Thief. There’s a whole world of this sorta noirish ambient music waiting to be discovered. Ever heard Woob?...

Roland Barthes, in his 1982 book, Structuralism And After, suggests that a diary, instead of presenting its writer with the question: “ Who Am I?’’ , actually declares a far more droll question: “ Am I?”. It is this question, this unusual dry amusement that is provoked by the absurd...

Words as mirrors in a framework of clatter shape the arches to VOICE ACTOR’s pavilion. Surrounded by offerings of flowers, a construction is shown. The unusual compact scale conforms to tiny standards for intimate listening. All is half-height, so the visitor has to enter on hands and knees. From the...

That A-side taps into the same iridescent feels as classic LFO, pre-Junglist Gerald, Accelerator-era FSOL, 808 State - all about those pads and strings, pure emotional meltdown if you’re of a certain disposition. On the flip, it’s a couple of years later, spiritual comedown, midnight at whirl y gig, backroom...

2023 repress "Pablo’s Eye is the science of studio pressure, when engineer becomes artist. Appropriating left and right as well as front and back, Pablo’s Eye uses the mixing desk to examine and exhaust the possibilities of moments. Pablo’s Eye is a record of that examination and exhaustion, but it...

Further to their split reissue of peaking aces by Furyon and Anymus, the label delve back into poles of trance music’s peak years, hailing its earliest phase with a reissue of the soaring 1994, UK release of ‘Voyage’ by Sweden’s Patrick Sjeren as Weird Genetics, backed with the return of...

After travelling to India, Indonesia, Thailand, Bali and Java in his younger days, Cybe released three cassette tapes. "Tropisch Verlangen” now compiles a series of ten wonderful handcrafted analogue electronics from those tapes, sounding like lush fields of electronic wheat swaying in voltage controlled wind. It reads as a musical...

Emerging from Lower Franconia's hidden reverse, Johannes schebler, known as ambient-poltergeist "Baldruin" and surreal folklorists Christian Schoppik & Katie Rich of "Brannten Schnüre"-fame have puzzled and amazed outernational audiences from the stranger end of the avant/lo-fi spectrum in recent years. The trio is now collectively dreaming as "Freundliche Kreisel", reaching...

Stroom hold a light to the delicious Belgy dirge “pop” of Adult Fantasies, sifting Nico-meets-Coil and Jonnine-esque gems from their run of late ‘80s/early ‘90s LPs for Antler and Sub Rosa. This label is all nostalgia for shit we never knew existed but which we feel like we’ve known intimately...

"We drew a map of the road trip together. A green line from Bambi across the Danube to the Carpathians. A fairy tale animated in technicolour, unfolding in slow motion. All protagonists hovered slightly off the ground. The soundtrack of Transcarpathia and a whirling unresolved hum. A disembodied...

The legend behind Eurobeat anthem ‘Pump Up The Jam’ does folk and goth-pop in a fairly corny delivery from Stroom After cropping up on a compilation EP (STREP-039) last year with the brooding balm of ‘Ambient Kinsky’, Jo Bogaert aka Thomas De Quincey (and tonnes more monikers) ‘fesses up to...

Stroom outdo themselves again with a survey of sorely slept-on post-punk and ambient works by Stockport’s Kevin Eden, rounding up material from 1982’s sought-after ‘Open Heart’ album and an impossible-to-find tape, plus unreleased installation soundtrack pieces, to ideally frame a quietly pivotal character of his time Kevin Eden’s story is...

There is an endless abundance of variations that the clarinet can use in changing the colour of a single note. Ben creates a web of sounds that are hard to pin down but easy to absorb as a whole. A sense and perception of continued growth too illuminated...
