It almost feels as if all the converging elements within Dream don’t quite fit together. Yet they do. In strange beguiling ways that speak to your soul. That slightly ill at ease percussion is also injecting into the excellent, atmospheres of Late Night as it builds into an emotional crescendo, pulsing with possible encounters. Buy

It gets to the point where it’s hard to land on certain adjectives to suitably describe the state of being surrounding a piece of music. It’s not that words are not enough, it is just that the depth of emotion pulled out from the psyche can provoke almost too much in its wake. Yair Elazar

Breathing life into confusion Burial combines hate and loss and joy and hope in varying degrees on this latest release of his mind-set. One of the questions is, who else does this so succinctly, so powerfully. I guess that’s why Hospital Chapel is called what it is. A trip through darkness suggesting lost/ found in

Was it a simple coincidence that the sun appeared when I started to listen to this album this morning? Either way it is a nice feeling.

What also proves

Music is full of surprises. Not only to be found in what you like but also located in what you thought you might not. DJ Surgeles unfolds a world of sonic possibility like a wondrous present to the senses as the opening The Leonids testifies, rushing over the stereo in fast forward motion. Without drums

When I pressed play a lone voice asked, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to get more?’ A not so random advertisement generated solely for my benefit of course. The answer in reality is, wouldn’t it be nice to get less. Joram Feitsma’s beautiful new album sits in-between more and less. Plentiful in its exhortation, rich in
