Though Skelton is no newcomer to the avant-classical landscape, this is the first time he's appeared on a recording under his own name. He may appear more familiar when in the context of names like A Broken Consort or Landings, but on his solo outing for Type he's no less engrossing. With a gentle sadness and slight twinge of sourness, Skelton is able to translate a sense of loss that's not really come across in some of his previous works. Strings pull and scrape, pluck and bow with such emotion that it seems that Skelton has felt a lifetime of [...]

A Broken Consort, Crow Autumn 2; Carousell, Black Swallow And Other Songs (both Sustain-Release)
As you can gather from the interview with Richard Skelton I published yesterday, he is in a particularly fertile period at present. Aside from the reissued Box Of Birch LP, I recently took delivery of two hugely differing new bundles of intoxicating Skelton sound: a new CD under each of his A Broken Consort [...]

An interview with Richard Skelton
It was around 18 months ago that I first came upon the work of Richard Skelton, via the initial pressing of his Box of Birch album on his own Sustain-Release label. It is without doubt one of my favourite albums of the last few years, an emotional immersion whose depths have only increased since via [...]

1. Birchville Cat Motel - Gunpowder Temple of Heaven ( Pica Disk ) MP3: Gunpowder Temple of Heaven (excerpt) With Gunpowder Temple of Heaven Campbell Kneale has delivered his masterpiece. Massive church organ drones majestically unfold over the course of 40 minutes and collide with shimmering rays of noise and eventually a deep, sluggish pounding. Layer upon layer of blissful drones melt together and grow into a timeless aural monument that sets out to explore the relationship between time and music. The piece manages to challenge its listener's perception of [...]

The Top 20 Albums of 2008: #'s 20-11
Year in and year out, it seems that the critics lament that it has indeed been a "slow year for music", and I'm sure that 2008 will prove to be no exception. I, however, wholeheartedly disagree with that sentiment. I think 2008 has been a very exciting year, with some very powerful debuts that have rattled the status quo and motivated the bigger acts to get off of their asses and make some good

Richard Skelton, Marking Time (Preservation); A Broken Consort, Box Of Birch: New Edition (Sustain-Release)
There are many layers to the work of Richard Skelton. I don't just mean instrumentally, for there is so much more to him as an artist than simply the music. His work is inextrically bound up with emotion, with imagery, with history, with location, with nature, and even with poetry. While I [...]
