this album is a transatlantic collab with the talented multi-instrumentalist Alex Gaylon, who has experimented with several bands ranging from noise to jazz.

aeon :
‘after the rich experience of Alex’s guitar improvisations on “Distant I,” I felt the need to rework certain parts in my own ‘style’.

not to please my ego but to tell in more detail the story of this space castaway who slowly loses his mind.

in these troubled times I guess everyone can relate to it and maybe find some peace with our music.’

to enjoy the best experience, please use decent headphones, at high volume 🙂

we know that times are tough for many of you.
so we decided to set the price of this release to ‘pay what you want’ (or can).

for those who wonder what price is ‘fair’ the answer is $8 ($1 per track or 4 minutes). of course, any contribution, big or small, will still be greatly appreciated (remember that $1 is about 300 streams).

Of One – Textures (Cruel Nature Recordings)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description:

OF ONE is the latest vehicle for Dublin’s Alan O’Boyle, who has been prominent in electronic music since the ’90s with Decal, Decoy, Legion of Two (with David Lacey) and Legion Of One. His work in various guises has appeared on labels such as Planet Mu, Rotters Golf Club, D1 Recordings, Satamile, Leaf, Law & Auder and Sabrettes.

“Textures” is the fourth OF ONE album and the first for Cruel Nature Records.

Start with a static texture – a drone, some feedback, a noise loop – and then build. Sometimes the texture that seeded the composition survives the process intact and part of a bigger picture (“Please Answer. Please.”), sometimes it appears briefly as a reminder of the beginnings (“To Exceed On A Full Moon”) and sometimes it becomes the entire composition (“Into The Process”).

Written, recorded, compiled and edited by Alan O’Boyle from a week of experiments in July 2025.

Rapoon & Pas Musique – Knowledge Has No Enemies But The Ignorant (Zoharum)

Posted by John Lithium on

Label Description: “Knowledge Has No Enemies But The Ignorant” is another joint release from the British band RAPOON and the American band PAS MUSIQUE. It’s arguably their best joint effort. It features thirteen longer compositions, totaling over two hours, filled with ambient structures, a psychedelic aura, and numerous improvised fragments. It seems the two gentlemen have found a common language, one based on years of experience in experimental music and revealing their shared roots and inspirations, which can undoubtedly be found on this double-disc album.
