About this product

2018 . Massimo Vivona is one of the unsung veterans of Namlook's Fax catalog, and one of the least notorious. Most of his work in the 90s centered around the then-fashionable areas of hypnotic trance, and though ambient pieces occasionally cropped up on his Fax productions, he was known more for auguring intense beatstorms rather than becalming ambient monsoons. With this utterly captivating new long-player, Vivona's not only flipped his own model, he's upped the ante. Taking cues from the breathless arpeggiated fantasias of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, née the instigators of the well-defined 70s Berlin School, Vivona's mapped out his own well-articulated star maps and plotted a true interstellar pathway to the cosmos. With reams of velvety, pulsating sequencers, skeins of prog-epic Moog, and a whole host of otherworldly vintage synths taking flight like sleek, analog eagles, Vivona's managed to concoct a modern-day Teutonic masterpiece, broad in scope, limitless in outreach, kaleidoscopic and eventful in equal measure. This is the kind of aural galactica that many practice but few lift-off; it's a testament to Vivona's skills that he can so effectively marry decades of synthesizer workout with such a stark and contemporaneous feel. Beautiful, bodacious, and bold, like the grandeur of the 70s masters, this one is literally godlike. Album Tracks 1. Phase 1 2. Phase 2 3. Phase 3 4. Phase 4 5. Phase 5 6. Phase 6

The Leaves - Breathe   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

They hail from Iceland, but they don't sound like Bjork. Instead, this four piece rock band shimmers with shades of Coldplay, Radiohead and the Doves amid all the critical notices about their recorded works. Put simply, the music here is gorgeous and majestic. Album Tracks 1. I Go Down 2. Sunday Lover 3. Catch 4. Breathe 5. Silence 6. Crazy 7. Alone in the Sun 8. Epitaph 9. Deep Blue 10. Suppose 11. Race 12. We 13. Favour

Architects of Existence - Three Deep Breaths   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2020 . Mick Chillage and Eric InchTheInch Taylor, better known to the ambient cognoscenti as Architects of Existence, return with a follow-up to their earlier self-titled Carpe Sonum debut, and it's a dandy. Neither artist's been resting on his laurels these past three years, but whatever spirits they've imbibed since has had a pretty dramatic effect on their respective gray matter. To wit, they've brought to bear on this superb follow-up a near-telepathic line of communication that has yielded one of this years' most compelling opuses. Imagine taking a literal plunge into the clicking synapses, irising filters, snapping envelopes, and charging whips of electricity at the core of the duo's gear, audiovisually mapping the results, and pushing the molecules of air outward to yield the mighty textures leaping forth. Does the word 'epic' come to mind? These two Architects have crafted a Fax-like artifact for the ages, full of mammoth synths that carve out great chunks of sky and leave the listener riveted in mindstates awash in awe. From the near-symphonic brushstrokes of InchPullingInch, which takes on an Michel Huygen/Neuronium-like grandeur, to the pearlescent sequencer patterns adorning InchA Trickled TearInch, this dynamic duo effortlessly trips the light fantastic. Album Tracks 1. A Ghostly Appearance 2. A Trickled Tear 3. Pulling 4. Three Deep Breaths
