Confluence couldn't have arrived at a better time to my geographical location. After an extremely-extended summer that found me running around in shorts and playing tennis into early November, a dramatic weather about-face finally arrived and left no doubt what time of year it really was. It's the sort of weather when a stiff, freezing wind will either leave you feeling wilted and wanting for a pile of warm blankets and bed, or slightly emboldened and ready to put up more of a fight as the daylight hours dwindle away even further. And so the new [...]

...that Seefeel recently played their first show in a million years on October 24th in the Ukraine of all places? from their myspace blog... For the first time in over a decade Seefeel will be reconvening for select live shows in the near future... However, for various logistical reasons (mostly geographical) Justin and Daren will be unable to join Mark and Sarah for this reunion. Filling in for Justin is Iida Kazuhisa (E-da, former 'Boredoms' drummer) and on bass is Shigeru Ishihara (aka DJ Scotch Egg). More dates are on the horizon, [...]

On friday it's The Soundscapes (last minute addition) 28 Degrees Taurus , Dead leaf Echo and Her Vanished Grace . The Sounscapes kill it, that's all i have to say and that's all you need to know. they rule. i've seen 28 degrees once at pianos back in March. i was quite entertained for the first 20 minutes but they played a bit to long for my taste and i forgot about the tunes i liked. lots of good energy though. DLE are favorites round these parts and never fail to impress. 2009 should be their [...]

allmusic.com review by james mason One of the more underappreciated artists in the British electronica scene, Mark Van Hoen states his case for the defense of the genre with Playing With Time . Firmly in the late-'90s lush-ambient sound (that he helped establish through his work with Seefeel , Scala , and Locust ), the album is a collection of generally short tracks (all but two under five minutes), each with a distinct mood. Perfectly sequenced, the album begins with "Real Love," featuring the heavily processed vocals of Holli Ashton (who appeared [...]

it's hard to believe that it's been 12 years since new ACR material but after listening to the 3 offerings post by their new french label i'd say it's well worth the wait. listen here how to work the player... it took me a minute to figure out how to get the player working. on the right side next to the album cover there are the 3 songs. when you click on one of them a player opens in a smaller window. then nothing happens and it appears that it's endlessly [...]
