Wow, just came across this review and I find this release is a free download. Had to reblog on both counts…

France Jobin ~ Singulum
Been a bit busy lately and suddenly find that there is a lot to post this week including this review courtesy of A Closer Listen…
Like a sluggish mummification process, the light and creamy textures of Singulum are gently wrapped around the body, embalming the slowly developing ambient music. On Singulum, Montreal sound artist France Jobin gently nudges her music forward, and it’s so hushed it’s hardly there at all; it’s an incredibly subtle approach.
Inspired by quantum physics, Jobin uses a series of quiet field recordings that are in turn manipulated, processed and lightly looped, the latter enjoying a healthy, liberal amount of space and freedom (an open loop, if there is such a thing), her modular synthesizers rearranging and transforming the music beyond all recognition. Science, sound and music are inextricably linked, so close as to resemble sons and daughters. They are elegant, despite the stuttering glitches that occasionally pass by. Reshaping both the timbre and the tonal quality of the original recording results in an entirely new entity being created.
Shapes inside the…

REVIEW REBLOG -Björk: Biophilia
Lovely long and in-depth read courtesy of ECM Reviews.
The 2004 Summer Olympiad was an unprecedented event for its host city of Athens. Under the motto “Welcome Home,” 10,625 athletes representing 201 nations competed in 28 distinct sports: a veritable sea of bodies representing the human form at its finest. All the more appropriate that, following the Parade of Nations, Björk should fill the stadium with her anthem, “Oceania”—a homecoming of a different sort, concerning currents more powerful than all those bodies combined. “You have done good for yourselves since you left my wet embrace and crawled ashore,” she sang, Mother Nature presiding over her children before they ran, leapt, and tumbled their way through hundreds of demanding events. Here, conspicuous yet perhaps unnoticed, was the deeper origin story of the games: somewhere within, at the mitochondrial level, proliferated feats of prowess that we could only dream of replicating without. As Björk stood rooted, her dress unfurled to cover…

REVIEW REBLOG – Listen: ACRE TARN – ‘Dawn Faces’
Here is Todays Discovery – Acre Tarn and recommend listening to her Soundcloud page.
Courtesy to Notes on Sounds for the pointer and review.
Hailing from The Lake District, Anna-Louisa Ehterington began impressing with her dreampop tunes last year with ‘Flex’ and ‘Lanterns.’ As ACRE TARN she’s been leading anyone who’ll follow down a rabbit hole that leads to a synth wonderland that’s hypnotic but propulsive enough to still get you dancing.
Her latest track ‘Dawn Faces’ doesn’t deviate too much from that already winning formula, instead pairing beautiful melodies and flittering synths together like we’ve become accustomed to. Still, it’s definitely not a sign of ACRE TARN slowing down, as ‘Dawn Faces’ might be her most engaging single yet; that’s in part due to the ethereal chanting Etherington adds and the weighty drums that keep the featherweight instrumentation grounded. Perhaps if Robyn spent a year listening to only the Cocteau Twins you’d get something that sounds like this. But Etherington beat her to it.
Listen to ‘Dawn Faces’ below.
REVIEW REBLOG – Mila Severtseva – Resistance
Here is Todays Discovery of glitchy beat based electronics, care of Yeah I Know it Sucks.
artist: Mila Severtseva
title: Resistance
keywords: glitch, experimental, electronic, avantgarde, beats,
label: Wrieuw Recordings http://wrieuwrecordings.bandcamp.com/
Mila is a mixed media based in Saint Petersburg in Russia. I first came across her work via this great website called Far From Moscow which is well worth checking out. Anyway, at that point she was writing music as diu pii and it was excellent bare bones almost tribal sketches of electronica goodness. I got in touch to ask if she wanted to do a split release on floppy disk, which fortunately for me, she did. One thing Mila does very well is often very chaotic and colourful works of art, I find these very appealing, she did the awesome artwork for our release and has since done the same for releases with Liminal Noise Tapes and Effluvia Recordings.
Anyway, I am very pleased to present her EP “resistance” released under her own…

REVIEW REBLOG – Ryoko Akama: senu hima
Sometimes it takes a little while to get around to checking sites out but I get there in the end and this one is a recent discovery, some great reviews that I hope to reblog here, beginning with this one…
REBLOG – Midori Takada - Through The Looking Glass
Some of you will know how I’ve championed this album in the past and so I’m glad to be able to reblog this here : ))
Courtesy to Obscure Music Daily.
Through The Looking Glass is an album by Midori Takada that was released in 1983 on the label RCA. This album is ambient.
This album has some of my favorite ambient tracks on it. Beautiful serene melodies, slow warm drones, birds, windchimes, spastic xylophone(?) loops, and so on. The album utilizes lots of traditional and non-electronic instruments which gives it an awesome sound. Lots of wood winds and various minimalist percussions creating beautiful ambiances perfect for laying in a field on some alien planet watching the clouds. Half of the tracks are more serene and some are more tribal, especially with the final track “Catastrophe Σ” which is tribal ambient (a subgenre that focuses on rhythmic drumming instead of melodies) . My favorite tracks are the first, Mr. Henri Rousseau’s Dream, and the third, Trompe-L’oeil; the more serene / calm / melody driven ones.

REVIEW REBLOG – SPACE GIRLS – say you’ll be jodido
Something challenging and expect the unexpected from Agnes Pe and Raisa Maudit.
Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for this review.
Artist: SPACE GIRLS
title: say you’ll be jodido
keywords: 40latino, devotional, kemetic, devotional, music, distorted ,fanatic, fancy, fancy pop fantasy music, humalien, jodido, pop, pornotube ,Madrid
Catchy, courageous, happy, outrageous and mentally intriguing, with a big hand pulling out rabbits from the mad hatters hat full of ideas; this is some fine crazy shit! It’s as if pop had taken a deep dive into a bathtub full of liquid speed, neatly absorbed through the poppy diva skin and now became fruitfully alive in all its finest insanity.
And you know what? It’s a perfect case of a production that puts the ‘super’ back in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
There is singing, there is dancing and it’s adrenaline rush and worth the nervous breakdown of pure entertainment! Raw and spectacular! After this you’ll be glad to change your name into Jodido; so better start practicing, and tune in:

REVIEW REBLOG – Björk: Vulnicura – Album Review
Lovely in-depth review courtesy of PonDeWayWayWay
When I hear the words “breakup album” I have to hold back a groan; the cathartic nature of such an experience helps some artists to create their best work but it leads just as many, if not more, to deliver overwrought, cliché filled downers. So, when I was reading the news of Vulnicura’s rush-release, my excitement was dampened somewhat by Björk’s own description of her latest album, her eighth and the first since 2011’s ambitious Biophilia project. However, as is almost always the case with the Icelandic auteur, things are rarely straightforward and never as expected. I should have known not to be worried, Vulnicura contains some of her most vulnerable and emotional work whilst ever continuing to innovate. As a result it may just be her best work since 2001’s Vespertine.

REVIEW REBLOG – Furchick – Cats in the bath (Dick Smith mix)
Finally catching up this New Year and this is a good place to start…
artist: Furchick
title: Cats in the bath ( Dick Smith mix)
keywords: experimental,
label: Dog Park https://dogparkrecords.bandcamp.com
I don’t know about you but my New Years wish was to exchange the rubber ducks in the bath with real life cats. I managed to exchange them, but not fairly sure if it was a good idea to do so. In fact under the layer of soapy foam there is water with a reddish glow, a colored substance coming from all the cuts my new bathing cats palls have been giving me. Apparently they don’t really like bathing, or water to swim in in general; where are the rubber sucks when you need them the most?
hmm… in a swimming-pool?
But unexpected help was on its way to safe me from the angry bath-haters sharp nailed paws, as I stumbled upon a magical trick to make the cats (and myself) in a…
