No One Sphere – Isn’t Everything About Something
Carl Stone – Wat Dong Moon Lek (Unseen Worlds) / As @AbstractTruth foreshadowed earlier this week, there’s a dizzying good new @carlstone album coming on May 20; it’s no spoiler to say that admirers of Stone’s jumpy digital pop fantasias should not hesitate – Steve Smith
Two new releases from Hidden Bay Records

Etran de L’Aïr – Agadez (Sahel Sounds) / Mind blown – Foxy Digitalis

Ogre – Gates of Nessus (Library of the Occult) / Like Richard Pinhas scoring a Ray Harryhausen film; Skinny Puppy’s Ohgr composing for the Atari 2600; or an early 80s barbarian epic that never came to be… would probably involve a black panther and lightning – j simpson
