"they geeked out and hit it off over music, a keen interest in coding languages, digital synthesis and electronically assisted genre fluidity, which they've translated into some thoughtful, seriously crafted alternative music. I like them."

"This is a heavy album, but what would you expect from a recording utilising Tunefork Studios in Beirut as a conduit to remotely unite these artists during the Israeli aggression/response (delete as applicable)"

"despite my natural inclination towards the nonabrasive, palliative end of the ambient spectrum this is something of a Thai massage, a mildly unsettling but ultimately relaxing affair, and I like it a lot."

"They kick things off with the shimmering, lower frequency quivering, field recording hinting, gently cascading tones of the well named, "404 Error Page Not Found" - something I'm sure we can all relate to"

"The new album sees these studio neighbours embarking on another ethereal voyage of discovery to the land where ambient, new age, minimalism and classical meet"

"Herbert for his part dusts off his warmer, less provoctive box of studio tricks to accentuate his studio partners soulful tones and loose rhythmic work"

"ambient layers sweeping you along until the track encounters choppy, deep space funking synths and stuttering IDM for a moment of mind opening intensity."

whilst the dust is still settling on his album he's off on another trip with his sights set firmly on a galaxy far, far away, this is the stuff of Sci-Fi soundtrack dreams.

and the soundstage remains uncluttered and gently uplifting - more wellness imbuing than euphoric.

The album flirts shamelessly with multiple ambient adjacent genres, exploring a shadow world where belief system energy ripples collide and swirl.

the live recordings again snipped, shaped, twisted and turned into sonic collage suitable scraps ready for the mother of all production efforts

Scene set the kick drum arrives to get the crowd swaying and heads nodding, welcome Bzhezhinska's spiritual approach and cheer the less holy, dubbed out electronics.

“Circle of Dust” sprouts muted beats and even vaguely euphoric synth pads amongst the ambient dubiness, before the track morphs into the soul infused abstract machine haziness that they do better than most.

A late night hypnogogic atmosphere is promptly set, the perfect zone for the machine warped spectral voices to haunt.

Kicking off with some minimal yet fluid drums and bass - both from the man himself, that anchor the ambient atmospherics, the low gravity sax of Julien Fillion drifts in from a happy place

he’s also got a fondness for fusing pan-Latin sounds with star gazing electronica, and for this new LP on the reliable Shika Shika label he’s marshalled quite the ensemble, made them some sandwiches and packed them off on a cosmic cruise.

Sahko Recordings deserve a long service achievement award for outsider electronica over the decades and you have to admire their continued vision in getting these three boundary nudging artists to align.

Perhaps he’s mellowing with age, but those beats have been left in a club somewhere, replaced with a decidedly modern ambient sound, that still retains a cultured ethereal sensibility.

This is cultured, jazz licked minimal dance music for the head as well as the hips that will also look great on stage and I like it.

The EP heads back to Berlin for its parting shot with some dub technoid downtempo to test your speaker choice and make you contemplate buying a sub-woofer.

Just as you think he might be laying his hat in more folky terrain he's off on an electroacoustic, voyage full of precision placed and played micro-sounds that gives folktronica a cosmic Americana injection

her music is restless and hard to pin down, veering from minimal piano to club ready beats and all sorts of ambient experiments.

The track is a singular abstract jazz soundscape that sounds like a Sam Gendel and Joseph Shabason love child, and you shouldn't need much more encouragement to take a listen than that.

Hooky refrains and nu-disco basslines eschewed for precision sound design, higher sonic purpose and an altogether more astral approach
