Serafina Steer, Public Spirited (3" CDR Static Caravan)

Nice English lass with a pretty, well-articulated, theatrical delivery sings songs about eggs, kisses and kitchen shelves, going to or being in the movies with her best friends and whether or not the meek really would want to inherit the earth. While seeming domesticated, Serafina Steer is, as... [read]

Colourform, Visions of Surya (Virtual World Records)

Between 1999 and 2001, Matt Hillier (aka Ishq) worked on an album as pretty and singular as the species of flower for which it is named. "Orchid" was originally released as a single (though lengthy) CD on Interchill in 2002 and shortly thereafter with an accompanying disc of some forty additional... [read]

Nicolas Bernier, Les Arbres (No Type)

A real coffee-table book of a package. Housed in its handsome slipcover are a slim CD case and six quality postcards, each featuring a montage by visual artist urban9, with its title on the back. Each title naturally corresponds to a complementary track by composer Nicolas Bernier. The idea... [read]

Tzesne, Cliffs Under the Mist (CDR Mystery Sea)

Tzesne is a sound artist from the Basque region of Spain fascinated by its countyside. "The Path" leads us into this world of his, a slowly-evolving one which would appear heralded by this track with the absurdly stretched-out pealing of a giant bell - clapper meeting metal, the long gong,...

Various Artists, Steppas´ Delight: Dubstep Present to Future (2 CD Soul Jazz)

Like the pervasive influence of dub in the nineties, dubstep is now proving to be more than just a club style. Rather, it is more of an approach, a skeletal structure of deep bass and prickling percussion that proves liberating to move about within for many artists with many different preconditions... [read]

John R. Carlson, In November (3" CDR Parvoart Recordings)

Very new label under the direction of Duncan ó Ceallaigh, a gentleman of Scots-Irish decent now living and working on the Baltic coast of Germany. John Carlson, who lives in the same town, will apparently be the only other artist on the roster of this self-proclaimed "microlabel", which also... [read]
