Common Dream – Bats / Dags

Though I see no information anywhere about the band Common Dream, I can say that if it’s on Höga Nord Records, it’s going to have a nice, dubby, psychedelic vibe.  This does not disappoint at all.

Marco Lucchi – All Day Long

A musician we admire here at the blog, Marco Lucchi, comes to us today with a new work where he uses a Buchla synthesizer, mellotron, and flute to create a very peaceful, almost proggish ambient album.

Bethnal Greener – Πεδίο

Bethnal Greener is a band from Greece who do an admirable job of blending a mid-70’s-era Pink Floyd sound with vocals that would fit better in the post-punk/Bauhaus medium.  Relaxed music meant to trip out to.

Subverge – Triox Rudna

Perhaps it’s because I am watching a lot of snow fall here in Bakuriani, but today feels like a dark ambient day. This is my first time hearing Subverge, an act based in Minnesota, and their music is bleak yet…

Those who assume techno music is cold should take a good listen to Red Stars Over Tokyo.  This is warm, relaxed, and some of the most pleasant electronic music I’ve heard in a fair while.  Perhaps it’s for the dancefloor,…

Various Artists – Artoffact Records 2025 Sampler

Artoffact Records, Canada’s premier electronic music record label, looks to have had a banner year in terms of releases. Still, the only recognizable name I see is Rhys Fulber, best known for his work with Front Line Assembly and Delerium. …

Dolphins of Venice – Captains of Industry

Oh, man, this is weirdly cool!  Mahorka Records brings us Dolphins of Venice and a release that would have fit in a 1982 record run.  A touch of Kraftwerk, lo-fi electronic music, underground cassette charm, but updated with a very…

MOREGO – Middle Eastern Dub

Our friend MOREGO’s latest album is a dub masterpiece, combining the better aspects of Lee Perry and Muslimgauze while retaining his own unique flavor.
