West Mineral Schallplatten & CDs

Review: There's a point in To All Sides They Will Stretch Out Their Hands when the nature of drone really makes itself clear. To the lazy ear that might easily be confused for 'Formula To Attract Affections', with its gorgeous waves of synth washing through your ears, like non-bio washing detergent. Others could assume it's the transient refrains of 'Dream Song of the Woman'. Neither are really true.

'In the Great Night My Heart Will Go Out' is quite possibly one of the greatest things you've ever heard sound like a walk home in the drizzle at 6AM. You can hear every detail of can against pave-ment, rat against wind, kebab against bin. And yet very little happens or changes within the noises. The sound of a British suburban street in the witching hours. Weirdly beautiful.

Review: Huerco S' West Mineral welcomes back Flaty & OL's Serwed for what is their fourth full eighth album. It is one that finds them move away somewhat from the more typical bass abstractions you might expect from them and into a world of shiny experimental sounds that harken back to cult video game soundtracks like Resident Evil. FM pads, workstation bells from the 90s and sci-fi drums and textures all make this one a beguiling listen full of hyper real emotions and eerie rhythms. IA great new direction that makes for superb and immersive listening.
