“Residual Forms†— one of the 10 best EPs from 2014 by 5:4
Monty Adkins’ work continues to plough increasingly deep furrows into material at the meeting point of ambient and experimental electronics. The results are uniformly beautiful, and this short piece is no exception, slow shifting chords and clouds matched by episodes of more blistered music, positioned with Adkins’ typically unerring skill so as to draw out …

“Transmissions†reviewed by Skug
Und da wir ohnehin schon auf Ambientabwegen sind, können wir schließlich noch die CD »Transmissions« von Mathias Delpanque dazu packen.
