Remarks:
The Sea Of Wires were a very early '80s electronic duo hailing from the industrial wastelands of Coventry... Followers of the German electronic scene of the time (Tangerine Dream, Ash Ra Tempel, Popol Vuh, Cluster etc), Chris Jones and Tony Murphy used elements of Kosmische Musik in their compositions, with a variety of warm synths, analogue effects, and layered experimentation. This double-CD collects cassettes which appeared on their own Sea Of Wires label: 'Individually Screened' (1980, then 1981 on the famous Flowmotion label), Chris Jones' 'Diversions' (1981, featuring Murphy on synth), and 'Beyond The Edge Of Tomorrow' (1982), representing the absolute peak of their sound. These tracks appeared as a double LP on the illustrious Vinyl-on-Demand label back in 2014 as part of the massive 12LP boxset '80's Minimal Synth. Wave Vol. 2,' but are presented here on CD for the first time ever.FFO early Human League, Vice Versa, We Be Echo, Tangerine Dream. Double CD in a matt-finish gatefold ecopak. –

Remarks:
The debut album from Bestia Astrum (aka Abby Helasdottir/Gydja) is a grim exploration of 'Fury 161,' the prison planet from the movie 'Alien3.' An industrial ambient travelogue of the spaces in the planet's dark and rusty facility, beginning on a wind-swept shore and ending in the eternal repose of stony sleep.More than just an alternate soundtrack to a film, 'Fury 161' takes cues from the long and troubled production of 'Alien3,' incorporating themes from earlier concepts proposed during its development hell, including the treatment created by Vincent Ward, who imagined the movie's location as a wooden planet that was home to an order of space monks. Motifs of eremitic religiosity permeate the album, as well as themes of Yeatsian apocalypticism, abject anatomy, and the intersection between the sacred and the profane, betwixt the beautiful and the grotesque. Full colour matt-laminate digipak with gold spot colour, accompanied by a 16-page booklet with an essay by Abby Helasdottir. –

Remarks:
Collaborative mini album by two musicians highly esteemed for decades in the electronic music scene, Simon Posford and Raja Ram, 'Improvisations For Piano & Flute': as the title suggests, a series of fully improvised compositions by the two legendary musicians. The 44-minute flow of this album is more contemplative and analog in nature than anything in the pair's previous output in their three decades of collaborative work, yet equally mesmerising and consciousness-expanding. This album is a significant departure from their usual output in its focus on the interplay of Raj's lyrical flute playing and Simon's noodling at the piano, with almost imperceptible synthesized atmospheric support that seamlessly unites analog and digital realities. These improvisations were recorded in Posford's living room instead of the usual studio because the musicians found that it provided more of the desired ambience. With a synthesizer placed atop an antique Bluthner piano, either Raj or Simon would begin playing and the other would join in - nothing prepared, decided, or arranged: just live, in-the-moment inspiration. This spontaneity infuses each track with such magnetic energy that the listener is inevitably drawn into each note, phrase, and piece. The whole album is supremely chill and introspective, with a grand arc to the storyline of 8 tracks that Shpongle fans will recognize from the dynamic duo's internationally prized discography. 'Improvisations for Piano & Flute' is a salve for the soul, providing an atmospheric antidote to the relentless stress and fast pace of our increasingly complex world - a great way to kick back, tune in, and refresh. –
