Max Richter

In A Landscape

“… between the external and the internal, electronic and instrumental, the technological world against the natural world…”

Max Richter returns with his ninth studio album on Decca employing his minimalist approach to themes of the big questions of life and the quiet pleasures of living.

Richard Skelton

the old thrawing crux

“… inspired by the landscape and loss, capturing the ephemeral beauty of fading memories and meditative spaces…”

Recorded on a reel-to-reel using the unique ‘Carna’ clavophone, this album blends atmospheric textures with deeply emotive soundscapes.

Kiasmos

II

“… eleven tracks of pure and lighthearted bliss, ideal to lift your spirits and quench the thirsty mind…”

The duo of Ólafur Arnalds and Janus Rasmussen are back with their follow-up on Erased Tapes triumphantly bridging cinematic and modern classical sound with micro-sculpted tech-house beats.

1 0 0 1

“… an auditory exploration into the crossroads of artificial intelligence and our comprehension of existence…”

Beginning its life as a collaborative dance piece with choreographer Fukiko Takase, the new solo album on Deutsche Grammophon probes the deep questions surrounding nature, consciousness, technology, and the profound implications of AI.

Illuvia

Earth Prism

“… an even keel of a floating buoy in the stormy weather of my mind…”

Listening to Illuvia is like waking up in a tent still covered with frosty dew to the sounds of the rave ongoing through the night. It’s a nostalgic feeling of my youth, and perhaps that’s just one of the reasons why I keep returning to this album.

Ben Frost

Scope Neglect

“… frosty fragile fretful armadillo crawling on your naked back…”

The familiar aural chemistry of metal is immediately untethered, isolated in the vacuum, stripped of its cultural trappings and heavy armory, and loaded into a particle accelerator.
