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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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, […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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 […]Archive

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) […]Archive

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.
