Lost Tribe Sound continues to surprise and amaze me with the quality of not only the experimental music on the label, but the soundtracks as well. Cellist Aaron Martin has released his score for the documentary The End Of Medicine, and it’s a deeply resonant collection of music. From Aaron’s Continue Reading

Viul & Benoît Pioulard – Konec
A Strangely Isolated Place provides us with a fine pairing. From the label’s Bandcamp site: “With an immediate arresting aesthetic, grounded in saturation, decay and distortion, tracks such as ‘Returning Clear Voice’ or ‘Flaxen’ reflect some of the duo’s more textured work – a hazy mist of life unknown in Continue Reading
[Video] New Order – Substance

As today is my 52nd birthday, I thought I would take a walk down memory lane. Today is also the 35th anniversary of New Order’s first major collection album called Substance, which was released on this day in 1987. As it turns out, it was the first compact disc I Continue Reading

Malaaz – Lélé / Malaazé
This 7-inch two-track single is pure funky joy to listen to! Malaaz were a band out of Reunion Island, of all places, and is considered to be a solid funk gem. The backstory of the band is here, at their label, Babani Records’ Bandcamp site: “Malaaz was initiated by Patrick Continue Reading

![John Wall – [Computer]-[Piano] Part II](https://musicyouneedtohear.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/a0152936737_16.jpg)
John Wall is Australia’s foremost experimental music composer. I had lost track of him many years ago, but it’s good to see that he is still composing bold music. From his Bandcamp site: “As with the previous Computer-Piano release these three compositions consist of piano recordings (that are not subject Continue Reading
Various Artists – Nyarlathotep – A Tribute To Howard Phillips Lovecraft
Eighth Tower Records never disappoints! Each compilation they put out is so well put-together that the themes fit the subject material perfectly! This one is, of course, no exception. It is a paean to H. P. Lovecraft, perhaps America’s foremost horror and science-fiction writers. At least to my taste, Lovecraft Continue Reading
Aftab Darvishi – A Thousand Butterflies
Though I’ve tagged it as contemporary classical music, as has the artist, the latest album by Aftab Darvishi is something more than that. It is classical music melded with regional music from Iran and electronics. A stunning album.
Baložu Pilni Pagalmi – Māris Šverns – Būt ceļā
Baložu Pilni Pagalmi are a Latvian post-rock/folk band out of the capita city of Riga. What’s most interesting about this 37 minute-plus track is that it covers not only the genres mentioned, but it would be comfortable listed as an alternative/indie release. I like the fact that there is a Continue Reading
Alsarah & the Nubatones – Soukura EP
This disc from Nubian pop songstress Alsarah & the Nubatones is a revelation in terms of East African music, the part of the continent which produces less aggressive, more sultry and sensuous music. The Soukura EP is filled with more time changes than a noodly prog rock album, and this Continue Reading
