The Legendary Pink Dots – So Lonely In Heaven (Metropolis Records)
Label Description:
Way way back in the early days I used to say a lot about ‘The Terminal Kaleidoscope’ , a concept comparing the fragile planet we live on to a drowning human being with life flashing before his or her eyes, the images constantly accelerating. It’s 2024, a little over 2 decades since the turn of this unbearably turbulent century and the concept appears to have become an unlikely soap opera where we are the cast. Let’s hang in there….. EK
SO LONELY IN HEAVEN – THE CREATION
‘So Lonely in Heaven’ is The Legendary Pink Dots’ second album since the World stopped for a Global Pandemic.
With members scattered across three countries and two continents, our guilty confession is that quite a few Air Miles were consumed in its creation.
Ideas were spun across Cyberspace for months, but the magic happened collectively in small spaces with the tape running.
SO LONELY IN HEAVEN – THE MESSAGE
The machine is everything we are. It sees everything, hears everything, knows everything and feeds, speeds, drinks us down, spits us out – we lost control of it at the instant of its conception.
You may cough, curse and die, but the machine will… more

Jarl – Neurotransmitters-Sphere-Music (Reverse Alignment)
Label Description:
“Neurotransmitters-Sphere-Music” is Jarl’s sixth album on Reverse Alignment, following on from 2021’s CD release “Spectrum Confusion”. And once again Karolina Urbaniak has masterfully created the cover artwork, as she’s done for the five earlier Jarl releases for Reverse Alignment.
Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that help nerve cells communicate with each other. Referring to this concept, “Neurotransmitters Sphere Music” consists of four pieces showcasing his trademark psychedelic, hypnotic approach, based on minimal sequencing, analogue pulsating synthesizers chords and repetitive percussive layers.

Yellow Swans – Out Of Practice I (Self-Released)
Label Description:
Getting back to playing was a whole thing. Neither of us had been playing much music and weren’t sure how we’d get back to it since we live pretty far apart and had opted in to playing shows. We always leaned on improvisation in our sets and our last few years were entirely improvisational, so we decided we’d create a few frameworks for playing our live gigs to give us something to lean on. In a sense, “songs” but VERRRRY loose. So here’s a tape documenting two very different versions of one of those pieces, which was based around some vague ideas and tape loops of early music fragments. We are old now, history and we wanted to play with history. L O L. Anyway, I think the music is pretty good. Not bad for a band that hasn’t recorded anything or played out in 15 years.
