Review: Dr Atmo and Mick Chillage have plenty of ambient accomplishments behind them. Atmo is a veteran of the German electronica scene, with a discography deeply bedded into Pete Namlook's imperious Fax universe and boasting collaborations with the likes of David Moufang and Ramin Naghashian. Dublin's Mick Chillage meanwhile has released swathes of material on labels like ...txt as well as via his own channels. This likely pairing find common ground in languorous, sweeping synth lines that roam free over extended run times. In many ways, this release on A Strangely Isolated Place feels like a natural extension of what both artists were doing on Fax when it was still operational, so if you're a fan of that classic ambient techno sound, this release has exactly what you're looking for.

Review: Never one to sit still, Sasha used the change in mindset that came with the lockdown to inspire his approach to music. LUZoSCURA (which means light and dark) is the new compilation that has resulted having evolved from the playlist of the same name. It's packed with new music from the man himself as well as newer names and more established artists. There are floaty, synth heavy ambient pieces like the 'Yin/Yang' opener, lush melodic electronic grooves from QRTR, symphonic garage cuts from MJ Cole and crunchy old breakbeats with more than a hint of Renaissance from Because Of Art.

Review: It's amazing to think FSOL's most successful single remains We Have Explosive. After all, most people immediately rush to 'Papua New Guinea' whenever they think of the outfit, a track that rates among dance music's most immediately identifiable. Nevertheless, the title number and opener on this 1997 album reissue shifted more copies than anything the band did before or since, and if you're new to this end of their oeuvre brace for impact.

It takes very little time to work out why the tune itself was so popular. A ferocious, coiled spring of a breakbeat assault, it has one foot in the new school era into which it was born and another in truer forms of electro. A recipe the LP continues throughout the remaining ten bombs, occasionally calling off in quieter but nonetheless still clubby corners, like the proto-dnb-step of 'Abandoned Housing Blocks of Prypiat'.

Review: Bill Brewster's Tribal Rites in 2017 was a fine collection from the Eskimo label, and now they return with another scene overview, this time collated by dark disco and wave specialist Curses. New Wave Acid Punx is a 38 track trip that spans forty years of shadowy club sounds across four sides of vinyl. His own 'Discipline' is one of the jewels in the crown and sits pretty with peers like Moderna & Theus Mago's 'Francesca (Wild At Heart)' and synth wizard Juan MacLean's 'She's Breaking Up' featuring the Fantastic Twins. Joining the dots between EBM, New Beat, Italo and acid house, this is a real doozy.

The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra - "The James Bond Theme" (with original Bond Theme Guitarist Vic Flick) (1:55)
London Music Works - "Goldfinger" (with Louise Dearman) (2:52)
Review: It's not long now until the much-delayed new James Bond film gets released, so to mark the occasion - and Record Store Day - the good folks at Silva Screen have decided to offer up this seven-inch containing cover versions of theme tunes from the iconic spy series. On the A-side, the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces with guitarist Vic Flick on a fittingly excitement-packed take on Monty Norman's original 'James Bond Theme'. Flick reprises his 1960s spy-funk guitar licks from the original version, while the orchestra hits all the right notes on a familiar favourite. Arguably even better is London Sound Works' similarly authentic and luscious cover of 'Goldfinger', with Louise Dearman doing a rather good impression of Dame Shirley Bassey.

Review: This fascinating compilation on Finders Keepers is a second, follow up volume to a series first started back in 2019. It finds Nurse With Wound's Steven Stapleton chronicling them all, and it makes for an often intense story full of noise experiments, soot-black guitar playing and haunting atmospheres. Rarely less than peculiar is a brilliantly dark and occult collection of weird soncis and experimental drones, shadowy electronic moods and witchy atmospheres.

Review: Eskimo Belgium is back with another one other excellent genre compilations. This one is put together by dark disco and wave specialist Curses, who selects a land of personal favourites that he thinks take us back to the origins of his sound. There are slower, somehow Balearic joints like 'Kaddish' from Gina X Performance as well as more textural and metallic grooves from Yello and brilliantly haunting synth-horror cuts like In-D's 'Virgin In-D Sky's.' Alongside the second part in this series which explores more contemporary sounds, this is a vital addition to the shelves of anyone who likes the darker ends of the electronic spectrum.

Review: RECOMMENDED
Seven years is a fair amount of time to wait between instalments, even if you did misplace them. Mark Jenkins returns under his rightly revered Pye Corner Audio moniker to add another chapter to his Black Mills Tapes series, in turn unveiling some seriously expansive downtempo electronics that still somehow manage to sound pretty intimate.

A lot has changed about everything since the last instalment in the series dropped, with the artist himself even managing to find time to put out another four albums. Up against those, what's here doesn't sound like it was plucked from another back catalogue entirely compared, but these recordings are a literal extension of those earlier Tapes, not least in sound and atmosphere. Taking us to other places of synthdom, halfway between 1980s movie scores, video games, epic ambient beauties and suggestive warm up off-rhythms.

Review: Alessandro Cortini's solo album comes hot on the heels of his much loved collab with London's Daniel Avery. The title translates as 'dark light' and thematically the music contained within follows suit. The experimental artist best known as the keyboard player and bass guitarist of Nine Inch Nails and was recently inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame for that work. But here he layers up near-dissonant guitars, pulsing synthetic surfaces and the contrast between light and dark. It's intense, but intensely beautiful.

Review: Next Wave Acid Punks is the first compilation from Curses (real nae Luca Venezia). It's something of an epic, with similarly lofty ambitions: namely to chronicle 40 years of "dark club music", most of which has its roots in the pitch-black new wave and post-punk scenes of the early 1980s. He doffs a cap to the sound's origins on disc one, offering up pioneering cuts from the likes of Gina X, Suicide, Front 242 and Hard Corps, before bringing the story into the 90s and 21st century on discs two and three. These discs are packed with throbbing - and progressively more intense - cuts that variously join the dots between EBM, industrial, new beat, punk funk, dark Italo-disco, electroclash and much more besides. In a word: impressive.

The World Is Full Of Plankton (7:59)
All Is Harvest (6:45)
The Emptiness Of Nothingness (6:45)
Review: Not a lot sounds like The Amorphous Androgynous, which is a relief because with a name like that you really do need to back it up with something experiential. A quick search online can tell anyone the duo - better known as Future Sound of London - have a strange relationship with Noel Gallagher, having recorded with him only to then be told by the Manchester man the outcome was shit so he destroyed the masters. Apparently these then turned up in a sock circa 2018 and you could almost be forgiven at least one of the tracks is here.

Actually, The World Is Full of Plankton comprises three tracks from 2005's album Alice in Ultraland, but the wailing, trippy, spaced out vocals that float in and out of dominance on the title number almost sound like the old Oasis lad. It's a deep and very operatic affair, which contrasts the exotic spatiality of 'All Is Harvest' and the prog rock piano stepper, 'The Emptiness of Nothingness'. Amazing stuff.

Review: Don Zilla has come a long way in a short space of time. Only a few years ago he was teaching himself how to use basic software like FL Studio, dreaming of becoming a venerated musician. His early internet-cafe experiments gave rise to 2019 EP From the Cave to the World and announced the artist's eerie fusion of shifting East-African rhythms with big bass and twisted, industrial electronics. That now continues and evolves through this much anticipated debut album, Ekizikiza Mubwengula, which is a beguiling mix of genres.Always futuristic, often austere, never predictable, this is a true work of sonic invention.

Review: Caterina Barbieri is an Italian modular goddess. Her 2019 album Ecstatic Computation was opened up by the majestic 'Fantas' and now it gets a whole new lease of life with this bumper package of variations. Each artist was personally chosen by Caterina and told to do whatever they wanted with the source material. The results are beguiling from the off with Evelyn Saylor, Lyra Pramuk, Annie Garlid & Stine Janvin going for a loopy, multi-layered vocal version that is constantly ascending to heaven. There is more calm from Kali Malon who keeps it strictly ambient and Carlo Maria approximates peak time melodic techno but from a much more artistic rather than narcotic point of view.

Review: RECOMMENDED
If you're interested in this record then you're interested in this record. Even if this is your first encounter with Burroughs, it takes only a few lines to understand not only his command of language, but his ability to convey the despicable, maligned, dejected and disillusioned in truly evocative ways. If this isn't your first encounter with Burroughs, then this twisted revenge tale audio book comes with a back story that will make you fall in love with the author all over again.

First published in 1971, Ali's Smile was released as a one-sided LP in a run of 99 copies. It was sold with a hardback copy of the audio, and in the UK there was only one store you could buy it from - Brighton's Unicorn Bookshop. As far as we've been told, the owner was a guy called Bill Butler and was paying off costs from a previous obscenity trial. Boroughs gave him the rights to this recording.

'In My Family' is one of the more subtle tracks here, and yet would rank as a highly emotional piece up against anything you can think of. It's quiet, hooky, distilled in pop yet grounded in hip hop and downtempo, but most importantly it understands the power of repetition and discreet growth. And its genuine quality is no anomaly on this album.

At the other end of the spectrum - barring all the waves of ambient beauty that come with tracks like 'Patching Shadows' - Cloudwalker opens with full on rave wonders. First the twinkle and hoover breaks of 'Short Wave Memories', then the dubbier and more spatial 'Propylenglycol'. Both tracks are deep but fresh, words that dominate all the dancefloor business on this album. Like 'Sailing Everest''s trippy 6AM robot rhythm, or 'Voltage Controlled Organisms' and the alien electro it brings. Basically, 14 tracks of great, across a variety of futuristic styles.

Review: With this album Fernando Corona aka Murcof makes a most bold and ambitious statement to date. It is his first on the Leaf label for 13 years and features the sort of painstaking sound design he has become known for as well as driving beats and a ghostly vibe that makes for a fascinating atmosphere. It's abstract, yet beautiful, with versions of pieces written for a performance piece with choreographer Guilherme Botelho making up the first half, and pieces designed for a second, later performance, making up the second half.

Review: You've always been able to hear the West Coast in Monocoastal, but it's particularly present when you shut your eyes after 12 months of lockdown stopping you from visiting the region. Less active L.A., and more observing in Oregon, Fischer's career didn't end with this in 2011 and the multi-disciplinary artist has produced great things since, but the album is certainly one of turning points in terms of reputation and note.

The idea of slowly watching time unfold in un-rushed places is also highly appropriate. Among the washes of tape and the waves of refrain that make up this beautiful, meditative outing, you'll hear takes and half-harmonies from found instruments including a piano and xylophone. Overall, it feels like a place removed from linearity. A liminal masterpiece, if you are that way inclined.

Review: nt.12K makes no secret of what it thinks about Dan Abrams. Let's quote from the website: "Shuttle358, the moniker of native Californian Dan Abrams, clearly stands as one of 12k's most revered, and mysterious, artists. Some say his work was responsible for humanizing [sic] the microsound movement of the early 2000's, and rightfully so." Whether you agree, whether you even knew there was a microsound movement let alone when it happened is irrelevant really. What counts is what's here.

Two decades after its initial release and Frame sounds like a lot of ambience and noise. At different points it could almost be musique concrete. And yet it's none of those things, and quite unlike much you will have heard since its first arrival. The path it trips out on, full of strange shimmers, whispers, morse code taps, epic harmonies with top end distortion, is worthy of flattery in the form of imitation, and yet it still feels utterly original.

White Picket Fence (4:41)
Joy Squad (4:29)
Review: With just over a month to go until the long-awaited debut LP from Welsh beat-wizard Koreless arrives, it's easy to see why this two-track on the renamed Young imprint (formerly Young Turks) might tip a few heads over the edge. Anticipation was already pretty significant before last month's track was unveiled, 'Joy Squad', and now it's included on a double-A side and in many ways is the weaker of the two.

'White Picket Fence' is one of those real electronic oddities - it kind of almost sounds like cinematic acoustic or journeyman folk in moments, but really is all about waves of uplifting synth, the kind of noises that scream distorted euphoria. It's earthy, and yet out there like Pluto. Coupled with the beguiling horror movie, IDM, UK step of the flip, it's a powerhouse package for the mind.
