Omissions
Simple and elegant the music of Jonhatan Borges' project needs concentration, both to be played and listened. It simply concerns repetitive and extatic tape loops that don't need nothing more than the simple repetition. You'll find yourself waiting, with the ear tense to discover a subtle change, a single touch that worth the whole record.Edition of 100

Szampler
Limited to just 500 copies and already sold out at source, this latest edition from the Tapeworm cassette label is likely to be the most feverishly sought after to date. One of experimental electronic music's biggest names, Christian Fennesz has collected his library of samples (dating between 1989 and 1996) made for his old Ensoniq EPS-16 Plus and ASR-10 samplers. It probably goes without saying, but this is an amazing hour or so of music to trawl through. Any long-term fans of Fennesz's music …

For this reason, it can take unexpected routes backward and forward, travels in the outer space and depicts a magic conception of distance between past, present and the next world." "Dreamachine / Beyond Digital Mix" is a C60 tape released by Palm Wine after a trip to Morocco attending a…
