Pierre Jodlowski - Séries for Piano and Soundtrack

Séries for Piano and Soundtrack is a six-track album where complex-to-moodily felt piano playing meets electronics- be they textured, atmospheric, dramatic, or just generally creative. Each of the pieces offers its own tone/ vibe for a wonderful varied, at-points eventful ride of an album.


José María Sánchez-Verdú - Khôra

Khôra is a nine-track album which sits at the more abstract, loose, and texturally focused end of the modern classical/ modern composition genre. It utilises a mix of strung-out to waveringly drone-focused saxophone playing, and microtonal accordion playing.


Celer - Cursory Asperses

Celer, ambient project of Will Long, has had dozens of releases throughout the years, exploring a dream-like realm of faint glimmering resonances, slowly unfolding air textures and semi-melodic drones, generally resulting in a peaceful but somewhat melancholy state of embryonic stasis.  I have enjoyed many of his recordings in the past.


Burial Ground/ Nights of Terror - Burial Ground/ Nights of Terror ( UHD/Blu Ray)

Andrea Bianchi’s cheapo 1981 Zombie Flesheaters rip-off has no right to be called a classic. It's badly made, the acting is abysmal, and the dialogue is woeful, however, it has become one of the most beloved of all zombie movies. It’s a seriously creepy affair reminiscent of the Spanish Blind Dead movies, that utilizes a fantastic score from Berto Pisano (Death Smiled on a Murderer, Patrick Still Lives and Giallo A Venezia ) and Elsio Mancuso (Malabimba, La Collegiale, and Moglie Nuda e Siciliano) and a host of zombies that are pretty much decaying before your eyes. On top of that, it’s bonkers (in a good way), there are so many warped ideas floating around in this movie that you simply can’t ever find it dull. More on that later!.


Uncodified - Erased People

Brooding, ominous, and grim, Uncodified's latest, Erased People, sees Corrado Altieri's project continuing its death industrial march forward bringing doom and gloom to the masses. WIth over ten years under his belt, he brings his craft to Dunkelheit to further spread his dark vision. Erased People is the latest volume in an already swelling catalogue of Italian industrial, and its textures and atmospheres will instantly grab any fan, new or old.


The Residents - Secret Show (Live In San Francisco)

Here’s a double disc CD & DVD set taking in The Resident’s Secret Show, which took place at the Conservatory of Music in San Francisco on the 14th of January of 2023. It was part of the celebrations for the project's 50th anniversary- with the twenty-one-track set featuring songs from throughout their career- with a host of guests, and some very distinctive/one-off takes on tracks. All making for an original, at points surprising, and of course wonderfully odd look back on the project’s half-a-century career.
