Hainbach – Shivers (Opal Tapes)

From No Need For Rain album.

Hainbach is the experimental electronic project of the German composer Stefan Paul Goetsch.

Using modular synthesizers, tape loops and his voice Goetsch is able to excise the most haunting tones from his rig. These are laid out or the listener to peer into or to hold the shell to the ear.

Lo Five – Love Inner Circles (Self Released)

From Monsters of Beauty album.

Lo Five is Wirral based producer Neil Grant, founder of Emotion Wave, a platform for emerging electronic artists in the north west.

Polypores – Sky Man (Castles in Space)

From Flora album.

Polypores (aka Stephen James Buckley) makes cosmic sleep music, sci-fi soundtracks and immersive drones with synthesizers.

Towering flowers and fungus. Both frightening and overwhelmingly beautiful. Then, emerging at the end through the canopy of trees into bright daylight. The last track, Sky Man, represents this I think. Like I say, it’s a very loose narrative. I don’t even feel like I wrote it myself – more that I channeled it from that strange ether out of which music comes.”
