Mille Soleils A L'oeil Nu [VINYL]
(Virginie Reid )
Montreal composer Virginie Reid layers piano, synthesizers, samples, voice, Jeremi Roy's resonant double bass, and Erika Angell's spectral vocals into five patient electroacoustic works, moving from fragile melodic gestures through cavernous drones and luminous choral textures in an intimate, nocturnal meditation on grief, vulnerability, memory, and the persistent search for light.

Phlegm
(Matchless)
A late-period live recording from AMM — Eddie Prévost, Keith Rowe, and John Tilbury — capturing their refined electroacoustic free improv language of near-silence, where percussion, electronics, and piano dissolve into a shared sonic field shaped by extreme restraint, microscopic detail, and a collective focus on texture, duration, and deep listening.

The trio of Toshiji Mikawa on electronics, Jun Numata (Doubtmusic) on guitar & electronics and Martin Escalante on saxophone for a superbly noisy and chaotic attack captured in Tokyo at Bar Isshee in 2023, two all-out assaults of clear electronic mayhem that would sit shoulder-to-shoulder with Borbetomagus and their kind; terrifyingly awesome!
Flying Luttenbachers, The
Losing the War Inside Our Heads
(ugEXPLODE)
Bridging past and future, this 17th album from The Flying Luttenbachers is a punishing collection of modernist brutality, largely developed by Weasel Walter alone, yet culminating in a ferocious trio performance with Luke Polipnick and Charlie Werber captured in Chicago and NY; dense with asymmetrical riffs, death metal complexity, and avant-garde adaptations; savage!
