20 years after he was first labelled as folktronica, Four Tet's collaboration with folk guitarist, William Tyler, could ironically match that description. With expansive and gentle soundscapes populated by acoustic guitar and Kieran Hebden's electronic sculptures.

Whatever the Weather II
16th May 202516th May 2025 ~ George's Music Blog ~ Leave a comment

Usually releasing a blend of glitch, IDM and various urban styles under her own name, Whatever the Weather is an outlet for Loraine James’ more ambient leaning work.

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 2
3rd May 20247th Feb 2025 ~ George's Music Blog ~ Leave a comment

Supposedly inspired by sounds Richard James heard while lucid dreaming, Selected Ambient Works 2 is both dreamlike and nightmarish, at times serene, lush and pleasant to listen to, at others, creepy, menacing and unsettling.

DARKSIDE – Spiral (2021) – Album Review

18th Aug 202114th May 2024 ~ George's Music Blog ~ 1 Comment

Nicolas Jaar's work as Darkside pulls off the feat of being deeply moody yet catchy, combining extended psychedelic grooves, richly detailed atmospherics and unexpected earworms.

15th Jul 202114th May 2024 ~ George's Music Blog ~ 1 Comment
