Ruhleben (gatefold black & transparent vinyl 2xLP + MP3 download code)
Cat: ASIPV 030. Rel: 28 Jun 21
Ambient/Drone
Review: Dr Atmo and Mick Chillage have plenty of ambient accomplishments behind them. Atmo is a veteran of the German electronica scene, with a discography deeply bedded into Pete Namlook's imperious Fax universe and boasting collaborations with the likes of David Moufang and Ramin Naghashian. Dublin's Mick Chillage meanwhile has released swathes of material on labels like ...txt as well as via his own channels. This likely pairing find common ground in languorous, sweeping synth lines that roam free over extended run times. In many ways, this release on A Strangely Isolated Place feels like a natural extension of what both artists were doing on Fax when it was still operational, so if you're a fan of that classic ambient techno sound, this release has exactly what you're looking for.

The Power (Soundtrack) (white vinyl LP + insert + MP3 download code)

Soundtracks
Review: Gazelle Twin has had a cult following since her debut album a decade ago. A year ago she backed it up with Welcome To The Blumhouse: Nocturne. Now comes a second movie score that finds her damped her pop tendencies and turn up the atmosphere on an album which continues the themes of blighted Britain she has explored on other records. Max De Wardener, a noted composer for TV and film, is a fine collaborator here and the pair serve up an enticing, haunting score that will appear to lovers of classic Radiophonic Workshop sounds.

Review: David Grubbs and Mats Gustafsson were old friends when they wrote this record back in 2002 when it was first released. They met in Chicago and this album was their second collab but it very much subverted expectations with its impactful and windy diverse collisions of free jazz, drone music, country-tinged folk and weird and wonderful digital sounds. Gustafsson is a Swedish sax virtuoso who helped define many of these sounds with his expressive playing style. Fans of illbient, improv, industrial and music concrete will all find something to love on this newly sequenced re-recording of the original album.

Ambient/Drone
Review: Music For Dreams' compilations are rarely less than essential, and this collection of recent Japanese music (2008-2018) is no different. Compiled by Ken Hidaka, Tokyo-based Max Essa and Test Pressing co-founder Dr Rob, the set starts with a beautiful and becalmed ambient piece by Yoshio Ojima (the sublime "Sealed") and ends with the lapping waves, vocal harmonies and twinkling pianos of Takashi Kokubo ("Quiet Inlet"). In between, you'll find the Steve Reich-ish marimba movements of Yoshiaki Ochi, the dubbed-out, piano-laden downtempo grooves of Little Tempo, the jazzy Balearic house of Schadaraparr, the sun-kissed dancefloor grooves of Little Big Bee and much more besides. As you'd expect, Hidaka, Essa and Dr Rob's selections are uniformly superb.

Ambient/Drone
Review: Los Angeles-based artist Inquiri aka Lacey Harris blends choral, orchestral, IDM, glitch, and ambient music with silken vocals and diaristic field recordings on her sublime new album See You Someday. This emotional album explores grief, loss, and self-discovery as tracks like 'My Eyes Opened' and 'Be The Hero' showcase Harris's ambient prowess with delay-steeped electronics and intricate rhythms. 'They Come Around' features glitchy beats and reversed synths, while 'Our Souls Kissed' includes angelic vocals. Composed over a decade, the album documents Harris's journey through personal upheavals and healing so it is a deeply personal and rewarding work.

Broken Beat/Nu Jazz/Nu Soul
Review: Back in the summer of 2022, BBC Radio 3 asked fourth world legend and all-round avant-garde musical hero Ariel Kalma to pick artists he'd never met to collaborate with. He chose Jeremiah Chu and Marta Sofia Honer. Following the radio broadcast in the autumn of '22, the trio continued making music together and this is the result: a brilliant, impossible-to-pigeonhole affair that combines snatches of improvised performances from each musician with elements of recordings Kalma made in the 1970s, speech samples, droning tones, ambient electronics and much more besides. It's not jazz, ambient, fourth world or abstract electronica, but something that sits in the fuzzy gaps in between. More importantly, it's sonically superb - a coherent and inspired piece of work that gets the most out of its principle cast of characters.

Review: It's clearly a Scandinavian thing, as Finland's Lau Nau and Sweden's Matti Bye team up to bring us a work of refined, minimalistic beauty - contemporary classical that speaks directly to the heart and soul, even if it often chooses to use sparse words. Ever elegant, it impresses from beginning to end and isn't shy of trying to surprise us, hence the arpeggiated refrains of 'Le Premiere Jour Dans L Lune'; the loudest thing here and in many ways sonic centrepiece of the whole album. Elsewhere things are softer and more reserved, but no less accomplished. 'Earth Shadow' is darker, or at least more introverted, while 'Cloud Circles' somehow comes across as both desolate and inviting, and the twinkling keys and chimes of 'Ile Disparu' present another high point of subtle intensity, an overture that only fully reveals itself once you are neck-deep in its power.

Chains Of Being (LP + inserts in embossed sleeve limited to 300 copies)
Cat: ABST 010. Rel: 10 Jan 20
Ambient/Drone
Review: While American ambient pioneers and electronic experimentalists Kerry Leimer and Marc Barreca have collaborated before, "Chains Of Being" is not a collection of studio hook-ups but rather a split album where they handle a side each. Leimer offers up a triptych of tracks on side A, drifting between droning, meditative collages and the kind of gently unfurling ambience that has long been his trademark. Barreca's tracks were apparently inspired by the "peaceful interior ambience of Spanish cathedrals" and are a little more contemplative, mixing intergalactic electronics with evocative cello and violin movements. Both sides are superb.

Review: There's clearly something in the water in Colorado: a hotbed for alternative electronic tones. The obvious answer would be all the weed the place is now famous for, but we prefer to think it's the stunning and seemingly-never ending natural landscape that hits you the moment you look up. No stranger to music making, local one M. Sage presents his latest interpretation of those surrounds, with Paradise Crick a deep dive into sounds at once manmade and natural. A gentile trip through floating noises and hypnotic fragments of time, it's blissful, instantly captivating stuff, quickly locating the part of the brain that makes you feel immersed and making itself at home. Meandering through the lot feels like time well spent, outside, listening to babbling brooks and gazing out on lakes reflecting beams of sunlight back into the world.

Review: First released more than two decades ago in 2004, Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone features the renowned cellist performing pieces from the legendary composer's very many iconic film scores. It was recorded with the Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra and pianist Gilda Butta and Morricone himself served as orchestrator, conductor and producer. The album remained on the Billboard Top Classical Albums chart for 105 weeks after its initial release and now this resisted and stunning collection again offers up music from Once Upon a Time in America, The Legend of 1900, The Untouchables, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and more. It is a masterful tribute done with sheer class and beautifully orchestrated collaboration.

Review: There seems to be a renewed interest in modern classical right now if the number of such records we're finding on our mat is anything to go by. The Cinedelic label out of Italy has got a great one on its hands here as Egisto Macchi serves up Asia. It is a glorious symphony of sound with sweeping strings, layers of rich percussion and a cinematic sense of story telling. After the uplifting opener there are more moody pieces like 'Il Buddy' with its gloomy atmosphere and life affirming sounds on 'Ceylon'.

Review: Lisbon's Rui Maia has turned his hand to many different styles over a long and winding career, shoring up on Bear Funk, Optimus Discos and Belong over the years and also recording as Mirror People, Noise Reduction and X-Wife. After a few years silence, he re-emerged on the Groovement Organic Series label last year, and makes a swift return with another illustrious set of plaintive electronics for mellow reflection and headphone reveries. From the sombre refrains of 'Metade' to the strafing arps and sprightly chimes of 'Okino', there's vintage warmth rubbed into every inch of this release, but it doesn't feel disposably retro. Rather, Maia creates a space out of time for you to recline in, surrounded by dulcet synth shapes and the occasional tickle of a drum machine. Is there any better place to be?

Review: We're just gonna put it out there - everyone is jealous of Quentin Thirionet. He once worked as a rope access worker (AKA an industrial climber), which sounds interesting and exhilarating. Now he grows organic veg. Which sounds delightful. He's also refused to stylistically confine himself at any sound, hence you might know him from Dhavali Giri or Pairi Daeza, gypsy jazz, Auvergne folk song, experimental electronics or something else entirely. Despite that experience, Sumer Is Icumen is Thirionet's debut LP, and takes us further into those strange, otherworldly noises that are only possible when human and machine work together perfectly. Much of this feels as organic as the artist's farm, but really it's about the natural and mechanical, manmade and synthesised, painting evocative audio pictures that invoke images of evolution, growth, hidden systems at play and equilibrium.

Review: Antoni Maiovvi has written what is descried as a semi-faux soundtrack for his latest album, done in the style of classic British composers who have worked in cinema over the years. It's a collection of unused themes for a movie that never made use of them. It's a mix of eerie string sounds and gurgling synths, dark vocals and unsettling broodiness on the opener and from there danceable horror themes come thick and fast. Dead of Winter comes on limited edition blue and grey vinyl so it looks as good as it sounds.

Review: Australian Double bassist and composer Mike Majkowski is currently based in Berlin. He works as a soloist with a number of collaborative projects. According to his online profile, "his work primarily focuses on repetitive structures and their mutations, relationships between stillness and pulse, as well as the spectral qualities of resonating frequencies." His latest LP Swimming In Light comes courtesy of British (now Belgium based) label Entr'acte, who've recently presented some great works by the likes of iDEAL Recordings founder Joachim Nordwall and Antwerp based experimental techno genius Yves de Mey. On the A side are the soothing electro-acoustic drones of "Radio Weather Vending Machine" while on the flip is the haunting suspense and tension of "Structure and Posture". Majowski created both pieces using double bass, bass guitar, an analogue synthesizer, vibraphone, piano, percussion and field recordings.

Review: French producer Malibu released his One Life record in 2019 and it finally makes it on to vinyl. The five track mini album further explores the quiet rapture of his unique ambient style. He is an artist not afraid to explore beauty and prettiness in favour of the more usually critically valued notions of seriousness and complexity. In his hands, it works. Lush strings, endless amounts of reverb and vast empty space define most tunes while gently rolling surf and soundtrack cues add the vital details which make these tracks so alluring and absorbing.

Review: Truman Capote's novel Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of the silver screen's most iconic films and certainly one of Henry Mancini's best ever soundtracks. It is a superbly pleasing blend of pop and swing that is captivating and fresh for the duration. The 12 tracks here all exude real class, great songwriting and arranging skills and range from the big-band sound of 'Something for Cat' to the smooth lounge groove 'Sally's Tomato' via the more wilfully wild moments of 'Mr. Yunioshi.

Black Swan (Soundtrack) (reissue) (limited numbered gatefold 180 gram audiophile silver & black marbled vinyl LP + booklet)
Cat: MOVATM 080. Rel: 04 Apr 23

Review: Clint Mansell wouldn't be every director's first choice to soundtrack Black Swan, a deeply disturbing psychological minefield set around a performance of Swan Lake. Making a name for himself with the alt-rock doyens Pop Will Eat Itself, the relationship he later struck up with celebrated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky has given us some wild scores - Requiem For A Dream and Pi being two of the most challenging and traumatising, neither of which are very Tchaikovsky.
Nevertheless, as the OST to Aronofsky's Black Swan goes to show, Mansell is more than up to the task. Yes, it's dark, but it's also faithful to the background material: an incredible collection of classical, largely piano-led tracks that are as evocative as they are emotionally-charged, tense as they are serene, and musically highly accomplished.

Purple In The Morning, Blue In The Afternoon, Orange In The Evening, Green At Night (In The End It's All Nice) (13:18)
Review: With its iconic and hugely emotive violin main theme presented in a number of iterations set amid a series of electronic moments and moods that would make the great downbeat giants such as David Holmes proud, it's fair to say the soundtrack to Requiem For A Dream is a genuine delight. Or at least it is when heard alone, far from the trauma of the movie's deeply scarring narrative and visuals.
But then this is the legendary Kronos Quartet, one of the finest contemporary ensembles working today which claims a 40-year-plus history having worked with countless classical, pop and electronic talent. Clint Mansell, multi-instrumentalist of Pop Will Eat Itself and latter day composer, is just one of those names, but the results of those combined efforts are among their finest hours of all involved.

Review: Apart from being an excellent film on all grounds, Darren Aronofsky's The Fountain has gained a significant cult following due to its soundtrack. This is no surprise, as the original motion soundtrack features music from Clint Mansell performed by Mogwai and the Kronos Quartet. As you can imagine, the trio conjure a powerful sonic image, and it's only with their artistic diversity that this score becomes as deep and magical as it is. There are elements of neo-classical, guided by a strong electronic assemblage, and wrapped up in a moody ambient coating. It doesn't get better than this.

Review: Dirk Eggermont was once a producer of early '90s techno under the Black Sun and Brown Hardware, Inc. aliases. It's been a fair old while since he's put anything out, though, so this debut album as Mantris is a genuine surprise. It's also genuinely revelatory, with Eggermont delivering spacey, largely horizontal soundscapes that mix classic early '90s ambient tropes with nods to hip-hop, blasts of distant nu-jazz, audible references to the 'fourth world' sounds of Jon Hassell, and occasional delves into the world of IDM. It's an ear-pleasing and undeniably melodious blend, albeit one that very occasionally lapses into bedroom style cut-and-paste messiness. Yet even those moments sound rather good thanks to Eggermont's excellent ideas and melodic choices.

Review: Jaki Liebezeit, Clive Deamer and Tony Allen are all clear influences on Marconi Union's new album Signals. The Manchester musicians have already got a well formed discography (there have been a rather impressive 12 albums in the last 18 years) but this latest addition is another boon. It's a seamless mix of synthetic textures with organic sound, shimming drums with soaring riffs. The drumming is in fact central to this record - never overbearing but never insignificant, it provides the compelling rhythms while the mellifluous guitars add the emotion. A deeply involving listen for sure.

Review: Romance with a capital 'R', as they say, ivory key doyen Gia Margaret returns with another spectacular and spellbinding collection of beautiful movements and pieces that sees her invoke a sense of peace, tranquility and solitude. Reflective arrangements that seem to straddle both a sense of loss, or at least melancholia, and acceptance and comfort in oneself. "I wanted to make music that was useful," Margaret says of the record. "Romantic Piano is curious, calming, patient and incredibly moving - but it doesn't overstay its welcome for more than a second." Running between fairytale like 'Sitting On The Piano' to the opiate, neo-pop of 'City Song', its a rare beast that can simultaneously feel tripped out and surreal, but also grounded in the world we are so luck to experience.

Review: Marie Guerin, or maybe you know her as Marie de la Nuit, is a sound artist who has explored field recordings, radio archives and "hertzian ghosts" for almost a quarter of a century since her debut in 2001. Her work blends voices, textures and ambient sounds that examine sound heritage and its preservation. Transportees is an electroacoustic composition that connects archaic and electronic trance and in doing so weaves a musical thread from Brittany to Tunisia. It follows a trance-like journey through recordings and oral traditions, all rooted in Guerin's passion for archives. The album reflects her fascination with capturing and preserving songs and transforming them into a soundscape that bridges past and present.

Idyll is her debut solo album under the alias, and tends towards the pastoral, meditative and immersive. Created as a way of exploring "the healing nature of sound", the album's weightless, enveloping soundscapes combine billowing new age synthesizer chords and lapping waves of electronic sound with effects-laden guitar textures, field recordings and layered vocalisations. The results are becalmed, beautiful and calming - perfect for those who need to de-stress or escape through music.

Review: You may remember Mark previous releases on labels such as A Colourful Storm, Berghain's Unterton and BEB associate Low Company. They were a little while ago so it's great to have him back and hear how his sound has been evolving wherever he has been hiding out. First things first: both the whole-side tunes on this long player have superb titles. 'So You Betrayed The Creative Arts' is first and is a superb exploration of space and time, with sparse breaks under tanging synths and eerie pads. It's a late-night spy-soundtrack from a dystopian world. 'For Your Own Personal Ends' then gets a little busier, with numbing off-grid hits and drums, shimmering melodies and detuned notes lingering in the air to suspenseful effect.

It's scored by Branford Marsalis, a critically-acclaimed saxophonist, instrumentalist, composer, bandleader and educator who is also a multi-Grammy Award winner and brings real cross genre magic to this. With undertones of jazz there are big band moments, quieter rag time style tunes and moving instrumentals galore.

Review: JS Aurelius and Nick Nappa's Marshstepper project steps out of its more familiar Ascetic House imprint and lands on Regis and Silent Servant's Downwards America stable - a division of the Downwards industry reserved for more experimental, electro-acoustic and punked-out electronics. The EP starts out with the sunken drones and metallic twists of "Everything Is Sorrow", morphs its way into a bloodbath of distorted, wavy electric guitar riffs on "Survival" and "Confronted With Life", the latter being strictly of the industrial variety. "On An Animals Soul Turned Against Itself" is the more macabre of the lot thanks to its eerie vocals, while "In Pure Linen & Placed In A New Tomb" heads into a total atmosphere of doom and dread. Top class chillers from one of industrial's best contemporary outlets.

The Chromatics - "Tick Of The Clock"
Review: If you've seen the movie Drive you'll realise how much this needed a reissue. Check the cost of College's bonafide synth pop anthem 'A Real Hero' on secondary marketplaces and you'll understand what we mean: not quite priceless, definitely inflated, but either way very expensive indeed. Of course buying the full LP will never get you the clout of the single pressing, but investing in this particular presentation gets you a stack more quality to play.
And some of the other work here is, frankly, spellbinding. The songs themselves are great, running the gamut from the stomp and spiral of 'Nightcall' by Kavinsky & Lovefoxx, to the show tune-esque 'Oh My Love' by Riz Ortolani, but really Cliff Martinez's original score is the bit we want to focus on. From the slow mo chug of 'Rubber Head' to the blissful, floating on a cloud towards a lovely sort of death ambience of 'He Had A Good Time'.

Review: Cliff Martinez's soundtrack is a full realised musical world that is defined by eerie synths and pulsating rhythms, all of which perfectly capture The Neon Demon hypnotic and unsettling atmosphere. Martinez is well known for his work on Drive and Only God Forgives and here once more delivers a score that is both haunting and seductive while mirroring the neon-lit world of fashion and obsession. The soundtrack weaves dreamy, ambient textures with dark, throbbing electronic undercurrents that draw you in and highlights include 'Neon Demon' and 'Mine' which pulse with icy beauty and mean this one stands as one of Martinez's most evocative and chilling compositions.

Cat: MOVATM 362. Rel: 09 Aug 23
Soundtracks
Review: Mirai is a Japanese adventure fantasy comedy written and directed by Mamoru Hosodo for the beloved Studio Chizu, the house behind genre favourites such as Belle, Wolf Children and The Boy & The Beast. The latter two releases came with soundtracks by Takagi Masakatsu, a bonafide master of scores whose ability to interpret narratives sonically has been referred to many times before. Here, the composer and musician opts to combine a dreamy aural aesthetic with more simplistic tonalities, which to him apparently reference the everyday family dynamics playing out on screen, combined with the more extraordinary elements of the story itself. The result is at times woozy and dizzying, in other moments reflective and relaxing, and always immediately captivating, romantic, and smile-inducing.

Review: Non-Stop Healing Frequency is music designed to soothe you. It is the second album from Ruth Mascelli, aka one quarter of Special Interest, and is a progression from their debut album in that it is a "carefully constructed sequence of electronic mood pieces, tender ballads, kosmische disco tracks and industrial symphonies" Using synth, drum machine and piano, as well as Mascelli's own voice, these 11 pieces explore themes like new age and self-help scams, gnostic mysticism and different ways of working through grief. It's an exploration of how we all get through life, basically, and by listening to you will, in fact, get through life a little easier.

Plays Venezia (hand-numbered gold vinyl LP limited to 106 copies)
Cat: SPS 2143GOLD. Rel: 06 Dec 21
Ambient/Drone
Review: Five years ago, Italian ambient master and "king of chords" (as collaborator Young Marco once called him) composed and recorded a wonderful, piano-led piece to accompany a book of photographs of his beloved home city of Venice. Masin has now re-edited and reworked that piece and stuck it out on vinyl. It's genuinely brilliant and utterly moving, with the former radio DJ's twinkling, slowly unfurling piano solos seemingly drifting above gaseous ambient chords and ghostly sonic textures. It comes accompanied by 'Abandoned Venice (For Harold Budd)', a heartfelt tribute to the late composer that offers an imaginary, late-night or early morning drift around the city's streets. It was recorded during the same period in 2016 and has a wonderfully eerie, melancholic feel.

Plays Venezia (reissue) (heavyweight clear vinyl LP limited to 300 copies)
Cat: SPS 2143RE. Rel: 08 Jul 24
Ambient/Drone
Review: Sometimes you only need to hear a few moments of music to know you're going to fall in love with the arrangement. Or indeed EP, as is the case with this two-part mini epic from Venice, Italy-based Gigi Masin. Named in honour of the city in the lagoon, a place where water is more of a defining factor than land, it's fitting that the pair of pieces here, each running upwards of 20 minutes, almost sound like they have been submerged in a calming bath. You can almost see sound waves moving through watery depths, in your mind's eye at least. This effect aside, the work opens with a kind of blissed out awakening through noise, the kind of instrumentation that should score the unveiling of stars overhead or te opening of a flower on a warm spring day. Flip it to find 'Abandoned Venice' a more sparse and but no less inviting experience with its layers of quiet refrain.

Moltitudine In Labirinto (clear vinyl LP + hand-numbered insert limited to 200 copies)
Cat: SPS 2482C. Rel: 13 Dec 24
Ambient/Drone
Review: This EP weaves a labyrinth of sound, where the absence of clear genre boundaries is the only constant. The opener leads with ambient pulses, before shifting into the hypnotic, bass-heavy swells of 'Infrasound Loop,' as if crossing into a parallel dimension. As it unravels, 'Submerged Reactions' builds a wave of evolving textures, quietly oscillating between glitchy abstractions and weighty drones. Throughout, the artists' mastery of subtle, complex layers remains apparent, each track a gradual immersion into its own sonic world. On clear vinyl, it's an intricate, immersive listen-complex yet fluid, intricate yet accessible, making it easy to lose yourself in the flow.

Review: Italian veteran Gigi Masin has had a real renaissance in recent years thanks to the arrival of a public love of go-slow sounds, more chilled festival stages and deep digging record collectors. Here he links with one of the younger stars of the scene in Jonny Nash for a perfectly entitled album, Postcards From Nowhere. It is six tracks of achingly beautiful ambient with Balearic guitar riffs drifting next to sustained synths, gently rippling rhythms and far-sighted melodies. It's a record that consumes your mind and empties it of everything but the most soothing thoughts.

Review: Lorenzo Masotto is an Italian pianist and composer from a village near Verona who studied at the Conservatory F.E. Dall'Abaco and the Hochschule fur Musik Franz Liszt in Weimar. His music now returns to Whitelabrecs with his new album Earde which is inspired by the landscapes surrounding his hometown in Northern Italy and reflects the beauty of local nature and Masotto's travels through Iceland and the Dolomites. Recorded in a deconsecrated church to capture its natural acoustics, the album explores the deep connection between place, memory and creativity which gives rise to a meditative, harmonic experience.

Telepath (2xLP + MP3 download code limited to 300 copies)
Cat: EMEGO 299V. Rel: 23 Mar 23
Ambient/Drone
Review: Unarguably unnerving and just a little haunting, resolutely abstract, and incredibly confident. Material Object's Telepath fits right in at Editions Mego, breaking ground without you necessarily realising it. Recorded in a single improvised session with one violinist, the record pulls those elements apart, and reforms them into mutated electronic structures. Or moments.
At times, you can hear the source material, or instrument. In other moments, these parts have been distorted, compressed, ripped open, and reconfigured to such a degree the tones that are almost unrecognisable. The result is science fiction in sound, a spellbinding - and at times nerve-wracking - trip into the complete unknown, where notes loom heavy and huge on the horizon, or strained and edgy in the immediate. To all those who press play, we say abandon hope of categorisation

Review: Second time around for David Sylvian's inspired full-length collaboration with German mastering engineer-turned-electro-acoustic experimentalist Stephan Mathieu. Wandermude won plenty of plaudits on its initial 2012 release, with critics highlighting the immersive beauty and sonic detail of the duo's hybrid drone and ambient works. It still sounds superb all these years on, too - all evocative aural textures (often provided by Sylvian on guitar or synth, though Mathieu did contribute some organ sounds), impeccable sound design (Mathieu is a master at this and reportedly constructed most of the showcased tracks) and sustained sound-washes. If you love ambient music, you need it in your life.

Trust The Guide & Glide (gatefold 2xLP + insert + MP3 download code)
Cat: LR 074. Rel: 24 Mar 16
Ambient/Drone
Review: Matthew David McQueen's Leaving Records is right up our figurative alley, and absolutely on point with everything that we love about quirky, cutting-edge electronic music. Being from LA, both the artist - McQueen appears here as MatthewDavid's Mindflight - and the label have their roots dug into the Stones Throw end of the hip-hop spectrum, but the music on Trust The Guide & Glide goes way beyond any simple sampling, and enters the realm of the quintessentially weird. The cover, a sort of hallucinatory dreamworld in some distant fantasy planet, is a perfect representation of the music that follows suit; although the majority of these tracks would normally be categorised as straight-up ambient, we prefer to think of them as dreamy electronica, a gentle wave of euphoria that never truly washes off after listening. If you ever wonder what electronic album you could stick on during a meditation session, then you've hit the jackpot.

Review: Boost is Future Times boss man Andrew Field-Pickering's third solo album under his familiar Max D alias and the seven tracks stand up as a fine example of the musical freedom currently running through the DC-based artist's veins. Like us, you've probably played the crushing, freeform 808 cruncher "Rhythm Operator" to death on the FT SoundCloud but we are happy to report the other six tracks are just as daring! As impressive as previous long players for RAMP and RVNG were, Boost feels bolder, a fuller expression of Field-Pickering's undoubted musical talent and less beholden to any particular dancefloor trope. Mood Hutter Jack J, Jordan GCZ, Motion Graphics and Benedek all contribute to Boost, but what really shines through is Max D's beaming smile behind those drum machines. Ps we hope this album is named after our favourite chocolate bars!
