The Orbs ambient 2016 release ‘Chill Out World’
Described as their “most ambient album yet,” Chill Out World is scheduled for release tomorrow Oct 13, 2016 through Kompakt. The ten-track album continues The Orb’s Kompakt connection, after last year’s Moonbuilding 2703 AD LP (and this March’s Alpine EP) on the Cologne label. But while Moonbuilding 2703 AD took six years before it finally came together, Alex Paterson and Thomas Fehlmann needed just six months to produce COW / Chill Out, World!. Paterson describes COW / Chill Out, World! as a protest album in reverse.” Fehlmann, who also comments on how the pair “trusted our first instincts and allowed the ideas to flow freely,” says: “We didn’t intend to rehash old chill out vibes. On the contrary. It’s the 21st century and it seems like a good idea for people to sit back and chill the fuck out, before continuing to act destructively. To chill out is to act consciously, guided from a calm centre.” RA

DECISIONS is proud to announce its second release: Empty Gallery EP by waterhouse, a Melbourne based producer, DJ and vocalist. The EP spans 3 years of waterhouse productions (2013-2015), charting a sonic emergence suffused with spatial, textural and emotional complexity.
The EP opens with ‘Breathless’, a heady rush of ambience, shimmering cymbals and field recorded textures. ‘A Little Sheep’ follows, progressively immersing the listener in accumulating layers of vocal melodies. On ‘3415’ rapturous choral textures encircle delayed claps and a reverb-drenched kick drum to form the most urgently rhythmic cut on the record. Side A ends with title track ‘Empty Gallery’, in which an intricate constellation of strings, pads, rumbling sub frequencies and brusquely dry percussion meet lyrics confronting life after loss.
‘Empty Room’ begins the B side, a gentle miasma of sound breathing to an 808 kick that dissolves into a haunting vocal refrain. ‘Untitled 2 (12:48am)’ builds a cathedral of bells, concrete percussion and deeply resonant drums to house a barely discernable vocal. waterhouse’s alchemical ability to turn raw material into something sublime is illustrated on ‘Broken Violin (afternoon recording)’ in which snippets of detuned violin and vocal improvisation entwine. ‘Song For A Prince In Exile’ closes the EP with a bubbling slab of ambience that is steadily subsumed by searing distortion. As if cauterising an open wound, it dramatically marks both an ending and a beginning. -Traxsource

Cave In The Sky was formed out of the sonic explorations of multi-instrumentalist/producer/composer Cye Wood.
The debut album Sönghellir, was released by the Swedish label 1631 Recordings on the 26th of Feb 2016.
Thanks to a new work grant provided by the Australia Council for the Arts, Cye was able to complete the album at Greenhouse studios in Iceland with Paul Corley – mixing (Ben Frost, Tim hekker, Daniel lopatin) and Valgeir Sigurdsson – mastering (Bjork, Feist, Sigur Ros).
A few days before mixing began, Cye was exploring the Icelandic landscape and became lost looking for Snæfellsjökull Glacier. He finally reached the glacier late at night and stumbled upon the ancient location that would provide the name for the album’s title track; Sönghellir (The Singing Cave). It was here that he made the final recordings for the album.

Led by Ras Michael over four extended excursions, the music is organic, sublime and expansive. Lloyd Charmers and Federal engineer George Raymond stayed up all night after the session, to mix the recording, opening out the enraptured mood into echoing space, adding sparse, startling effects to the keyboards. At no cost to its deep spirituality, this is the closest reggae comes to psychedelia.-Honest Jons Records

Monochord are Vienna-based musicians Bernhard Hammer and Jakob Schneidewind, two thirds of Elektro Guzzi, though Monochord paints a different picture. Electroacoustic experiments and filmic elements define the music that develops instinctively yet irrevocably, a sense of forward motion setting them apart. Compositionally minimal, these tracks maximize their inherent potential all the way through to their logical and even illogical end. Referencing electronica, ambient, shoegaze and at times modern classical harmonics, Monochord builds and unbuilds in a slow heartbeat. Introspective and filmic, its quiet and non-confrontational nature makes Monochord move in the interzone between various spheres. Their music escapes definition and that is its truest definition. Its subtle pulse and evocative and drony feel invite and inspire.- Soundcloud

Boris Bunnik can always be relied upon to deliver the goods. Here, he once again dons the familiar Versalife moniker for an outing on Shipwrec, his first under the alias of 2016. The veteran Dutchman kicks things off with the atmospheric, deep electro bliss of “Shine Eye”, before reaching for the bolder melodies and warmer chords on the similarly inclined “Autobots”. He changes tack a little on “Milnet”, combining drowsy ambient chords with snappy, Chicago-influenced 4/4 percussion, before drawing another fine EP to a close with the broken techno beats and intergalactic electronics of “Transgenics”. -Juno Records

Angry NWOBHM guitars. Arrogant leads. A singer that’s more punk than metal. Earworm riffs. Lyrics out of the notebook of a schizophrenic religious zealot. Relentless drum barrage. 29 minutes of steel fists pulverizing your face. A vinyl collecting, tape trading, guitar shredding heavy metal kid can grow up, learn to do other things and leave the fast guitar riffs and apocalyptic metal visions of his teenage years behind. But the fast guitar riffs and apocalyptic metal visions can NEVER really leave the kid.
This is the story of Rotör’s riffmeister JVH, who found himself recording a pile of early 80’s NWOBHM inspired music in the early 2010’s. He just couldn’t help himself, once that floodgate of nasty heavy metal was re-opened, the riffs just came pouring out. The old beast woken up from years of slumber, thirsty for blood. JVH recruited four other three-letter-names to work on the songs and Rotör became it’s own kind of a metal monster, proudly standing on it’s 10 steel legs.
Rotör may include bits of Speedtrap, Hard Action, Vino Siitin, Tremor, Arkhamin Kirjasto, Seremonia or Steel Mammoth.

Fort Atlantic is analog warmth and digital madness, quiet songs of searching and anthemic songs of discovery. “We balance between heartbeats and hard drives,” says Jon Black, singer and writer for Fort Atlantic. Whether it’s the one-take troubadour folk song of suburban escape “New York Lights” or the nine-minute Bladerunner meets Gibson Guitars movement of “I’m Wrong”, Fort Atlantic’s debut truly stretches the divide of the current musical landscape. The live show is a tug-of-war between humanity and technology mirroring the existence of our city streets and signal searching while never losing sight that each song tells our story in this binary terrarium.

A lazy beat filled mix of disco funk by Gerd Janson, who runs the German label Running Back together with Thorsten Scheu (aka Glance). As many kids who have grown up in the early 90s in the South West of Germany, Gerd Janson was a regular guest at Mannheim’s legendary Milk Club. Although this venue was most popular for putting jungle on the map in Germany, Gerd always used to wait eagerly for the early morning hours when the pace slowed down and US styled house was the ruling sound. In the following years, his deep love for house and disco music was fed in Frankfurt’s Wild Pitch Club by Heiko MSO and Ata. -Resident Advisor

Crystal Syphon, one of the greatest “lost” groups of the West Coast psych scene, came together in Merced, California in 1965. Originally a Beatles / Byrds-influenced unit called the Morlochs, they soon shed their original moniker and moved in a more psychedelic direction, becoming a fixture on the ballroom circuit from 1966-1970. Although their music may nod in the direction of the New Tweedy Brothers and Quicksilver Messenger Service at times, it’s imbued throughout with a distinctive sound that arose from practicing up to six nights a week. The band entertained offers from various labels during their existence, but as they insisted on complete artistic control and ownership of their music, no deals were struck. Now, some 44 years after its creation, Roaratorio is making the music of Crystal Syphon available for the first time ever. Drawn from studio tracks, rehearsal tapes and a live recording from the Fillmore West, Family Evil is released in an edition of only 500 copies!

Noname is the latest voice to emerge this year from the loose assemblage of artists gathered around Chance the Rapper, and her music shimmers with the evening-streetlight glow that characterizes most of them. Like Chance’s Coloring Book, or Jamila Woods’ HEAVN, or even Joey Purp’s rough but sternly humaneiiiDrops, Noname’s music feels luminously positive, clear-eyed, and compassionate. “Diddy Bop” is luxurious and easy and warm, a reminiscence about good times, or better ones. Her voice is in a playful and confident middle range between forestalling, singing, and slam poetry, and her lyrics carve out enough details to fill the song with an entire imagined cast of characters—jealous boyfriends griping at girls in love with Raz-B from B2K; kids nabbing twenties from their mom’s purse.
