Audiopile Review: Vancouver’s own Scott Morgan, aka Loscil, has amassed a large, varied discography since his 2001 debut for Kranky. That album, ‘Triple Point’, announced a major new talent, and a distinctive new voice, in electronic music. Previously, Morgan had been best known as the drummer in Destroyer. But ‘Triple...

Audiopile Review: Great to see Monolake getting the extensive reissue treatment. As one of the creators of Ableton Live, Monolake’s Robert Henke is among electronic music’s most influential people. But, along with a revolving cast of collaborators, he has also amassed one of electronic music’s most consistently impressive discographies. ‘Gravity’,...

Audiopile Review: As Kompakt approaches its 500th (!!) release, the Cologne-based label does a rare dip back into its catalog, reissuing an early and essential piece culled from its formative years. Released only on CD back in 2001, Triola Im Fünftonraum is the lone album from Jörg Burger’s Triola guise,...

Audiopile Review: Icelandic producer Yagya lands with a new full length that’s a return to his finely tuned ambient dub-techno after the brief detour into gaseous dream-pop that was 2023’s Fading Photographs. While that record was enjoyable enough, we’ve been desperately waiting for a return to the sublime styling that...

Audiopile Review: To many of our readers, Soichi Terada’s name should be familiar — we’ve long championed his work, and for good reason. He’s had a long and remarkably consistent career, laying the foundation for a dreamy style of house music that’s simply never gone out of fashion. That said,...

Audiopile Review: The Silent Season reissues keep coming!

Much like Purl, ASC, the...

Audiopile Review: Yumiko Morioka’s 1987 sole release Resonance, a kankyō ongaku classic, is mercifully repressed by Métron Records, who initially reissued it back in 2020, those copies now hitting triple digits price points online. Considered a notable part of the Japanese Environmental Music movement of the 1980s, Resonance actually has...

Audiopile Review: It’s interesting and odd when a group or artist makes one of their best albums in a distinctly off-brand style. Funkadelic’s ‘Maggot Brain’ and the godlike Peter Hammill’s ‘Nadir’s Big Chance’ are unusually straightforward rock albums among eclectic discographies. But they are also arguably the best albums of...

Audiopile Review: NYC-based composer Lori Saxl hits close to home on her new mini-album, acting as a companion piece to her Earth Focus LP issued just last year.

It seemed that if I didn’t somehow repeat the process of greatness, and do so immediately, multiple times away to satisfy playlist and binge watch culture, then I “wasn’t shit”. After a while I was like “nah this doesn’t feel good,… I don’t know if I am finding joy in...

The original 90s soft grunge sad girl. Broken up, new love, pregnant, grandma dying. The usual 21st trip around the sun. In between Eric's Trip albums, boyfriends, and dress sizes, Julie strummed her downcast bedroom pop diaries through a Rat II distortion pedal and quit the scene. Expanded 29th anniversary...

Audiopile Review: Keith Hudson’s classic dub albums have a similar vibe to classic Norwegian black metal. Weird comparison, we know. But he was known as The Dark Prince of Reggae, so there’s something to it. The pointedly rudimentary graphic design that his albums were often housed in helps. But, mostly,...
