Brutalist: Michael J. Fox (ep)

Brutalist Michael J. Fox (ep) Good Manners Brutalist is the moniker for Melbourne duo John Hassell (Seekae) and Lucian Blomkamp – they’ve both made music alone and in other collaborations and the seeds for this duo were sewn when they shared the bill and bonded backstage of “nerdy” music shares – Profofiev and Arvo Part. […]

Moby: Long Ambients Two

Moby  Long Ambients Two  Little Idiot  Moby returns with a second volume of his long ambient pieces. Designed specifically to put you to sleep (hey! No jokes!) this nearly four-hour playlist/mixtape-of-an-album is, as with its earlier volume, in line with Max Richter’s Sleep.  In fact there’s not a lot to say about this – and this is recommendation rather than review. The stretched, flattened, gospel-waft of […]

Jonas Struck & Vladislav Delay: Borg McEnroe [OST]

Jonas Struck & Vladislav Delay Borg McEnroe [Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture] Sound by Struck The film is a masterpiece, I’m quite sure of that after two screenings. And one crucial component of this great movie is the score. That was obvious almost immediately. Also obvious was the fact that this music […]

Max Richter: Out of The Dark Room

Max Richter Out Of The Dark Room Milan The “post-classical” work of Max Richter was always going to be perfect for film soundtracks – his most famous composition, On The Nature of Daylight, continues to be an influence, for Richter (he’s re-used it as well as reinterpreting it, taking bits from it) across many of […]

So Good It Sent Me To Sleep: Albums To Nod Off To (In A Good Way)

I’m often asked if I ever sleep – usually in the form of a Facebook message or a question on Twitter, sometimes it arrives in an email, from a person I don’t really know but I can sense the concern is genuine. I’ve also been asked how I sleep – as in with all the […]

Max Richter + Various Artists: Sleep Remixes

Max Richter  + Various Artists: Sleep Remixes Deutsche Grammaophon Max Richter’s 8-hour album/dreamscape was the thing I listened to most last year – I say ‘thing’ because the gentle, gorgeous 8-hour sprawl caught me, deer in headlights, at times, other times it lulled me back to sleep, or sent me off to sleep, sometimes I […]

Radiohead: A Moon Shaped Pool

Radiohead A Moon Shaped Pool XL Recordings It’s nearly been to the detriment of the music that every Radiohead album for the last decade has been discussed as much for how it came to be – and how you found out about it – as much as there’s been any discussion of the music. Amazing, […]

Sasha: Late Night Tales presents Sasha: Scene Delete

Sasha Late Night Tales presents Sascha: Scene Delete Late Night Tales This is an interesting release – and a really great one too – it’s Sasha’s first studio/production album in over a decade and it’s simultaneously still (something of) a mixtape, and something befitting the Late Night Tales Late Night concept. I like, too, that […]

Olafur Arnalds & Alice Sara Ott: The Chopin Project

Olafur Arnalds & Alice Sara Ott [Frederic Chopin] The Chopin Project Mercury Classics If you’re a fan of Max Richter’s work – particularly his entry into the “Recomposed” series (reworking Vivaldi’s Four Seasons) then The Chopin Project will interest you. Here, soundtrack composer and electronic musician/pianist teams with German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott to recontextualise […]

Max Richter: Sleep

Max Richter Sleep Deutsche Grammaophon Easily my most played album of 2015 – easily, and yet it’s not, strictly an album. Here, Max Richter has created a soundtrack for sleep, but it’s more than just a settling score, it’s a musical evocation, a melodic translation of sleep. It’s a stretch – too (pardon the pun) […]

Max Richter: The Congress [OST]

Max Richter The Congress [Original Motion Picture Soundtrack] Milan Records It’s been a busy time for Richter on the back of his entry into the Recomposed series and some early career reissues, recent soundtrack work and now a brand new score, this one for the live action/animated interpretation of Stenislaw Lem’s 1971 novel The Futurological Congress.
