Various Artists – Favourite, Places
Favorite Places is a compilation based on the idea of the artists choosing to represent in sound their favorite places. It’s the type of concept which sounds intriguing, but in practice is somewhat confining. The locations chosen by the artists are often surprising in their banality, and lack of exoticism. But that may be the point; Claudia’s Studio Apartment and Dot Tape Dot’s My Bathroom present the realm of the artist’s everyday existence, possibly in an attempt to bring the listener into their comfort zone.

Kenneth Kirschner – Filaments & Voids
Filaments & Voids is a wonderfully haunting & beautiful double disk collection of lengthy works by New York based Kenneth Kirschner- with the tracks falling somewhere between ambience, slowed/ electronica and modern minimalistic classical piano music.

Column One – Electric Pleasure
After to been rather taken by Column One’s strange and jarring field recording album Feldaufnahmen I. I felt it was time to check out some more work by this bizarre collective; Electric Pleasure is quite a different kettle of fish from Feldaufnahmen I with the only connection really been the clever use of sampling.
