‘We continually search far and wide for something; anything to prick the ear and compel, kicking and screaming at the lobes. However from time to time, a certain something which transpires to be unspeakably fine resonates out from right behind you, as today is the case with London ambient architect Moon Zero. Aeolus, the latest from the evasive drone-preferring producer, couldn’t better befit this afternoon were it enwrapped in layer upon layer of dense wool for it genuinely sounds like a blizzard a-whirr with prickly stabs of whitish noise and sweeping barbs of squawking gust. It’s music to make you feel that little bit disquieted even in the comforting warmth of your own home; the sound of being shaken up inside the impermeable parameters of an almighty SnowDome ® (a SnowDrone ☠, even) for ten unabating minutes. Burr, etc.’

‘If you’re not the sort to more or less reside in the archives of the Quietus, nor rejoice in the glorious secular monstrosities of Demdike Stare, Fennesz, et al. then this ungodly drone matrimony between Tim Hecker & Daniel Lopatin (or Oneohtrix Point Never to those less well versed – myself included) might sound all too atonal and out there. Otherwise, consider this an exultant amble down the eternal aisles of atheism, soundtracked by devastating squalls charted somewhere or other between disquietude and a more general discordance.’
‘Athens’ one and (quite possibly) only industrial electronica duo .message may not have the most SEOptimised, nor emphatic of monikers although Murky Pash is undoubtedly one to get dark hearts racing. A grim lurch of creaky doom, portentous breaks and drops, and gnarly synth grunts it’s almost Grecian in its great monumentalism as it rises to crumble over four thoroughly compelling minutes to recall Demdike Stare, had the London pairing been inspired by slo-mo trance and not occult transcendency.’
