I recently came across an old interview with Andy Stott, given upon the release of his 2014 album, Faith in Strangers, for which he switched from using software to an almost exclusively all hardware set-up. He described the process of gathering various pieces of equipment, testing them out by pushing them to their limits, “using … Continue reading Andy Stott – Never the Right Time (2021)
It seems foolish to try and do justice to 2020 in a paragraph - a year of such huge upheaval, disprution, loss, and in many cases...extended periods of boredom and inactivity. So what better way to reflect than by looking back at the records that have provided the soundtrack to the year? For one reason … Continue reading Albums in heaviest rotation in 2020

The track posted in the group was the final track, Friend, you will never learn, and the rest of … Continue reading 09/02/2020 – This week I have been mostly listening to
Venetian Snares - Traditional Synthesizer Music (2016). I think this might be Venetian Snares’ best album in a while. Actually, I liked My Love is a Bulldozer, but apart from that, I think this is his strongest album since Rossz... back in 2005. I won’t dwell too much on the concept/background; I think I read … Continue reading 09/12/19 This week I have been mostly listening to
