Palmbomen II - Memories Of Cindy
November 10, 2017
Due for release January 2018, Palmbomen II returns with Memories of Cindy, an intimate collection of eulogic, supernatural house music made for a muse and to bemuse those who make (first) contact. A haunted memory hole of hardware grooves, celestial synth pads and lonesome vocals, Kai Hugo’s warped west coast vantage has never seemed so surreal but certain.
Tangerine Dream - Particles
November 09, 2017
An excellent collection of studio and live material, issued last year. It includes a version of the Stranger Things theme to the Netflix TV show. A great showcase of their material although I very much prefer the 1980s material such as Mothers Of Rain and White Eagle.
The highlight of the album is the incredible ten-minute closing piece, Shadow And Sun which echoes back to their earlier styles with remarkably ease and forms a majestic and uplifting close to the album.
If you are a fan of the band, this is an essential purchase. It's also a good introduction to those who are just discovering this legendary and influential group.
The album is available directly from TD at their Eastgate Music shop.
Aaron Dilloway - Switches
November 08, 2017
The master of twisted noise is adding a new album to his incredible discography. Following his monumental album The Gag File on Dais, ‘Switches’ is the next chapter in the evolution of Dilloway's sound. Created on piano and tape ‘Switches’ is a spiralling journey into the rugged mind and soul of one of the most influential figures in radical modern music.
Pressed on 180 g colored vinyl and housed in a reversed board sleeve illustrated with artwork by dutch artist Henri Jacobs on front and label.
Pye Corner Audio - Where Things Are Hollow
November 07, 2017
Due for release on 15th December. Boomkat has the description on what to expect.
Boomkat:
The return of Pye Corner Audio to Lapsus Records with Where Things Are Hollow, comprised of four new songs and a twenty-four minute duration.
Martin Jenkins explores emotive techno in Resist and Northern Safety Route, two tracks that coast through progressive arpeggios, slow pulsating beats and soaring pads. Meanwhile Mainframe and Continental Drift move through more ambient and melancholic terrains, two cinematic songs that are perhaps reminiscent of works by John Carpenter or Delia Derbyshire. In short, Where Things Are Hollow is a beguiling analogue electronica EP that is guaranteed to delight Pye Corner Audio fans and new listeners alike. This special release will also feature the collaboration of two of the country’s most prestigious independent graphic artists, Alex Trochut and Basora, whose artwork for Where Things Are Hollow is sure to become a collector's piece.*
