The holy grail of all the drum-breaks library LP, a true "cult" among DJ and producers, is available again in a faithful replica of the original gatefold sleeve and remastered from the original master tapes. Tullio De Piscopo is a drummer extraordinaire, a constant in Italian music, moving effortlessly between pop, jazz, rock and progressive modes. This record from 1974 could be thought of as the ultimate promulgation of his talent and versatility as a musician, though maybe not quite the ‘Pract…
First time on vinyl, originally released in 2008, remastered by Stephan Mathieu. Celer is a husband (Will) and wife (Danielle) duo from California that use a variety of strings as the basis for their sound. Cello, viola, violin and the sounds are mixed in with field recordings, choir, live theremin and then tape spliced and re-assembled in varying lengths to create a loop base. Those sounds are then sampled, layered and processed. The result is a shimmering orchestra. Periods of silence between …
* White vinyl. Ltd 2022 repress * Joanna Brouk’s golden new age / modern classical Moog & electric piano masterpiece is reissued on vinyl for the first time, following a resoundingly-praised 2016 compilation that revolved around its titular, 21 minute highlight.Now replete with the original 1980 tape edition’s three B-side works for synth, saron (gamelan) and bells, The Space Between is a sublimely reclined and contemplative record for troubled minds and times that beautifully resonates with a c…

An immersive world populated by pulses, swells, drones and voices, Sounds of The Sea taking us on Hindustani-tinged journey with shimmering lines executed on synths, threaded by Joanna’s vocal drones, while Celestial Lake weaves imagistic expanses from slowly evolving melodies, culminating as immersive and meditative world of its o…

This month's Electronic Sound cover stars are Ladytron and we have an exclusive orange vinyl seven-inch featuring two previously unreleased tracks by the Liverpool synthpop outfit to accompany the issue.
*In process of stocking.* We've borrowed the dramatic image on the cover of this month's Electronic Sound from the new Simple Minds album and we're issuing a terrific magenta vinyl seven-inch by the acclaimed Scottish group – with their 1980 classic 'I Travel' on the A-side – to accompany the magazine.
The recently released ‘Direction Of The Heart’ sees Simple Minds returning to their art rock and electropop roots. We think it's probably their best album since the 1980s, so we're delighted to t…
We are giving you two cover stars for the price of one this month – minimal techno pioneer Plastikman and piano maestro Chilly Gonzales, who have joined forces for a one-off album that is truly special. We've a fantastic seven-inch featuring two tracks by the pair to accompany the magazine too.
The new ES issue, with a superb Wolfgang Flür seven-inch to accompany this issue too. It's pressed on white vinyl and it features two versions of 'Electric Sheep' – a maddeningly catchy tune and a definite highlight of 'Magazine 1'. Wolfgang takes on the role of a friendly android on the track, which sounds like the theme music of a TV advert in some utopian alternative reality. To seal the deal, he winds up with some key facts about sheep. "Earworms, right?" he says. "You cannot get them out!" …
We've got the fabulously outspoken Sleaford Mods on the cover of this month's Electronic Sound, with an exclusive white vinyl seven-inch featuring a previously unreleased Mods track to accompany the magazine.

"I have played my friend Peter Streiff’s music for decades, and it has always moved and inspired me with its mindfulness, its spiritual force and daring novelty, where unusual demands and joyfulness are in balance." (Urs Peter Schneider, December 2013)

**CD version** Eraldo Volonté is a veteran of italian jazz: he is one of those characters that are always seen wherever there is good jazz to play or listen to. With a difference from many pioneers, however, Volonté has never lost even a shred of his enthusiasm, even if he has been playing professionally for more than a quarter of a century and like almost all of is colleagues, in Italy, has had to adapt and be part of an infinite number of bands playing all types of music. His enthusiasm has ke…
I think that the title of this album is perfectly congenial – ”Metamorphosis” as for “profound transformation in form and structure”. I have known and listened to Guido, born in 1935, for more than 40 years and consider myself as an expert of his impressive musical production since his debut in 1966. Guido is a full-blooded swinger and his playing is firmly rooted in the tradition. Surprisingly, after listening to this record I hear and find a pianist astonishingly original and dynamic playing w…
'An investigation into some smaller sounds and interactions from this new trio, plus a few excursions into more expansive territory. All of the music was improvised and performed as heard, apart from the coda of the closing track Rotten Star which is a collage. Heartless, Heartless…… / Rotten State edits together, in alternation, parts of two separate longer improvisations. Pat plays grand piano interior and keyboard simultaneously for much of the album, while Johnny responds with sounds from a …
“Polar stratospheric clouds (PSCs), also known as “Nacreous Clouds”, are found in the winter polar stratosphere at altitudes of 15,000–25,000 metres (50,000–80,000 ft). Due to their high altitude and the curvature of the surface of the Earth, these clouds will receive sunlight from below the horizon and reflect it to the ground, shining brightly well before dawn or after dusk. PSCs form at very low temperatures, below −78 °C. These temperatures can occur in the lower stratosphere in polar winter…
