Already a third way into the New Year and the musicians we have featured are still producing some gems of high-quality sounds that are dynamic & fresh. Not always the conventional approach to electronic music, but nevertheless engaging & challenging.
A few names to mention on this edition, the double live album "Altair", from Ian Boddy’s US show at The Gatherings 2018. Musicformessier collaborates with ambient guitar legend Dan Cain on "Timelessness", one of the best guitar driven atmospheric albums of the year. Rapoon’s deep industrial space ambiance and majestic choral bursts with emotive piano chords, spacious feel of Berlin School style sequencing & melodics from Thaneco. On Syngate records, dark tones & ambient sounds of Divided By Two. The re-release of Syndromeda’s 2006 album "Last Days Of Earth", containing powerful sequencing delving with a darker twist & new to Sequences Pulse Emitter expansive tapestries of sound.
Vintage track from Sam Rosenthal 1986 release "Before The Buildings Fell", pioneering a style close to the post-prog work of the Tangs & Eno.
Computer chemist kicks off this edition with his eight solo album "Volcan Dreams", with Chris Gill on Guitar & Zsolt Galantai on drums, tracks in the analog domain with strong infectious soloing, especially on the track you are going to hear, fans of old school synth music are going to love this.
