The ever-reliable diggers Morning Trip reissue a long-lost masterpiece of New-Age wonder. Guided forward by Damon's resuscitating and healing vocals, the pieces are largely backed with textural field recordings and her gentle playing on fretless bass and synths. Instantly moving, it conjures vistas both romantically familiar and cosmically mysterious - waterfalls and wind, the voice of the earth, as heard through heavenly prisms. Beautiful, resonant sounds for the soul.

Tempo Dischi's second release is one of electronic music’s seminal albums; 1978 Italian space disco album, 'Automat' by Automat. The album moves in the furrows of an atypical space disco, with abstract classical arias alternating with more sustained rhythms, which combine electronic experiments, and progressive psychedelic journeys with cinematic themes. This is a record that has influenced the music of our days and after 40 years still sounds contemporary. Tip!

'More Energy Fields, Current' is another high point in the recorded continuum of prolific producer/percussionist Carlos Niño. Featuring heavy contributions from many of the most exciting ambient and jazz instrumentalists in the creative constellation of Los Angeles (of which Niño’s has been central for over 2 decades), the album holds 10 crystaline pieces of collaborative communication; elegantly presented in his unique “Spiritual, Improvisational, Space Collage” style. Nińo makes albums that need to be absorbed in one sitting (or preferably lying down), as each piece carries you through one portal to the next, before safely being set back down where it all began. YES.
