Mueller’s debut on Type charts a path into the heart of rhythmic trance. Mueller delivers his intricate pieces so effortlessly and consistently, both in tempo and repetition, that you can feel his discipline reaching its final stages: immersion, wholeness.
Type Records
Altar Eagle – Mechanical Gardens
Digitalis husband and wife duo take their woozy electronica for a full length outing on Type. Get muddled up and deliver equal measures of lush pop and limp psychedelia.
The Alps – Le Voyage
With settings set to psychedelic, Le Voyage presents itself as drug music for people who have never taken drugs, or simply can’t take them any more.
Rene Hell – Porcelain Opera
Porcelain Opera is a thoroughly invigorating and inspiring record. Well recorded, mixed and produced, it’s a beguiling treat for the introvert.
Indignant Senility – Plays Wagner
Featuring undead orchestras and oven-cooked gentlemen, Plays Wagner is dramatic, stirring, pompous classical music which has been turned into a drab boring emulsion, except when the source material fights it’s way to the surface, and then I see discolouration and ‘grey loam’, stars sparking on and off, terrible things that I wish I hadn’t seen.
Fear of a Black Country #2
John Twells, of Type Recordings, returns with his next column of musical diversity…
Sylvain Chauveau- Singular Forms (Sometimes Repeated)
French multi-instrumentalist Sylvain Chauveau experiments more with his voice on this latest work of wonderful sound and silence.
Fear of a Black Country
The first column by John Twells of Type Recordings sees his diverse musical taste shining through, as he recommends everything from Snoop Dog to Joy Orbison with something from everything inbetween.
Yellow Swans – Going Places
It might well be Yellow Swans’ last hurrah, but in these exemplary explorations of sound and space they’ve left a wonderful parting gift for their fans.
Richard Skelton – Landings
Landings is the culmination of years of the near-obsessive recording of Skelton’s collaboratory relationship with the West Pennine Moors around Anglezarke. It is a conjuring, a chronicle of a disappearance, an insight into the process of healing. It feels like something of a summation. It is extraordinary.
Zelienople – Give It Up
Give It Up is a dark, brooding and pretty sinister album – the perfect soundtrack to dark, cold Winter evenings according to Rich Hughes.
Rameses III – I Could Not Love You More
It may very well be different for each person, but I can’t possibly see how someone could not have a strong reaction (whatever that might be) to I Could Not Love You More.
