Album review: Chihei Hatakeyama – ‘Late Spring’: a halcyon, beautiful ambient journey

Late Spring takes elements of IDM, shoegaze, and drone, and fashions them together in an impressionistic, delicious fog, with a pretty unique pastoralist feel, alive in nature. It's pretty much the only album I've ever heard that makes me reconsider such unassailable classics of the slow leftfield as Stars of the Lids' The Tired Sounds Of ... and Windy & Carl's Consciousness and made me think: whoah there guys, these records are a bit ... sharp-edged, right? Take it easy. Let it breathe. That halcyon. Late Spring is bloody, bloody beautiful.

Album review: Conrad Schnitzler – ‘Paracon: The Paragon Session Outtakes 1978-1979’ – more solid-state wizardry from the Kluster genius’s archives

Outtakes these nominally may be, but a decade on these tracks would have all seen a parallel life in the 12" and the like; a format which was only just starting to find its viability Stateside at this point in the Seventies. And remember not just that these ten tracks are culled from a year or more's intense creative fire, but that those sessions gave birth to three albums. It's an album for intense post-dusk savouring, soundscapes to fall sideways down the rabbit hole into, deep and otherworldly sonic immersion from one of the greatest electronic music brains.
