Brk: Conversion EP
Brk’s dub conversions make an excellent addition to the Sonux (now Otium) catalog.
Ralf Behrendt: Cloud State
I find myself questioning if most ambient releases are really music. But these works are intensely evocative with exceptional artistry.
Foof Yourself: Vol. 1
Foof Records is a new label on the scene, and it may seem a bit strange that after only six months of formally releasing recordings they have decided to release a compilation. However, this decision was a really good one as it really is a showcase for what they have managed to accomplish in a very short period of time.
Tunnel Rat: The Solipsist EP
Tunnel Rat’s Solipsist EP pays homage to the great beatnik poets of the ’50s and ’60s.
Various (aka The Aaahhchestra): Miss You EP
The Aaahhchestra produces a brilliant EP, but that’s not really the groups name. It’s more of a nickname a group of musicians gave themselves.
Talk Less, Say More: Violent
On Violent Matthew Jennings (Talk Less, Say More) ups his game with an expanded sonic and textural palette, even better song craft, and lyrics that will make you sit up and pay attention from opening to closing.
