The girls are certainly making their impact on this edition, together there are five solo & two collaborative projects. There’s experimentation & passion in the music which ranges from chill-out to abstract ambient, hazy downtempo to cavernous drone spaces, with a special mention to classical reinterpretations by Murcof & Vanessa Wagner, especially on the beautiful moving Valentina Silvestrov work, ‘Farewell O World, O Earth’.
Sequencer lovers can drool over the latest Cosmic Ground album, number 5 & the duo Joorg Erren and Christian Steffen new outing, going by the name of Grobek.
It’s been awhile to see Frank Makowski of Ramp, offering a new solo concept album ‘Canon O Eclipses’, inspired by Austrian astronomer Oppolzer, in the genre of experimental neo -classical music. Another musician who we don’t hear enough of, New Zealander Rudy Adrian, brings us his new release, ‘Woodlands’, slow evolving melodies, harmonically rich textures, subtle ambiences & otherworldly vocal effects. Having a short sabbatical from Tangerine Dream, Thorsten Quaeschning teams up with Paul Frick, on ‘The Seaside Stage Sessions’. Well known figure in the UK’s electronic scene Mark Jenkins gives us three new albums, ‘New Inventions for Electric Guitar’, ‘KrautNoise’ & ‘Influences’, his take on the music of Manuel Gottshing, Mike Oldfield, Jean Michel Jarre, the Orb, Keith Emerson, etc.
