Review: Limited with hard to find and sought after rare and deleted tracks. DJ Shadow is a genius behind the boards. DJ Shadow is what we call a hip hop aficionado. He started out from very humble beginnings in Davis California and has risen to rip apart bland hip hop!! High Noon incorporates all that is hip hop.

Review: Another collaborative effort from the consistently fascinating US ambient kings Past Inside The President, this time with Hendrix - not that one - and Wayne Robert Thomas, whose atmospheric guitar-led work has featured several times on the label before. If the average ambient album has its head in the clouds, this is more grounding, more gamboling in the fields perhaps than floating in the ether, with gentle flute and guitar giving the walls of synth sounds some perspective. That said, the closing track of the four, 'Retract R (Type K)', sizzles away like something by Growing or even Spaceman 3 left to fry in the sun. Magnificent stuff..

Get It Away (remastered) (limited cassette)
Cat: TR 0084. Rel: 16 Aug 24
Punk/Hardcore
Review: Following on from last year's overdue reissue of hardcore mob SSD's 1982 debut full-length The Kids Will Have Ther Say, Trust Records keep the heat coming with an equally long awaited repress of what many fans regard to be the band's finest hour (or 11 minutes). Released the following year in 1983 and marking their first recorded output with the addition of secondary guitarist Francois Levesque, the Get It Away EP would serve as the vital stepping stone in transitioning from their frenetic thrashcore beginnings to an eventual all-out thrash metal juggernaut, with the sonic fulcrum deftly balanced for these seven chaotic cuts, including a frenzied reimagining of 'No Reply' by Buzzcocks. Available on vinyl and cassette for the first time in over four decades.

Review: Almanacs's new cassette for Mystery Circles finds the artist leaning heavily on the sounds of the indigenous music of his own Honduran culture. As well as that there are direct samples of punta and marimba music and its unique rhythmic structures, but all reworked through his own specific lens - a mix of minimalist, experimental and ambient music. It's an enchanting and escapist listen packed with real world detail. Even the title references that culture, as it is inspired by a speech from Berta Caceres, an indigenous and environmental activist who in 2016, was murdered by the government.

Undisclosed Fields Vol 1 (limited cassette + download code)

Ambient/Drone
Review: G.Teixeira is an artist based in France and someone with a multi-faceted sound. His Almost Silent alias now turns out Undisclosed Fields Vol.1, a first release on Healing Sound Propagandist that takes the form of eight movements and six reworks. It's as dense as ambient gets, frankly, with heartbreaking melodies passing by and disappearing before your ears. Fizzing synth drones are layered up over crepuscular chords and the whole thing has you gazing off into the distance, your eyes glazing over as you happily get absorbed in the subtly shifting sounds, tones and timbres. This, then, is another high class album from both artist and label.

It's a captivating and beautiful testament to the power of music as a form of self-expression and healing.

Ambient Etudes For Bass Guitar & Pedalboard (cassette + MP3 download code limited to 50 copies)

Ambient/Drone
Review: Ambient Etudes For Bass Guitar & Pedalboard is a new album from James Bernard that collates a number of his ambient sketches and improvisations that the artist has made in the last 12 months. The music was made in three different locations and with three different bass guitars, and each time in a live setting, in one take, all captured using the sound-on-sound looping method with a single instrument and a pedalboard. The whole thing is coated in lo-fi fuzz and real-world dust and has a circular nature that means you're always going somewhere but never find out where. It's a perfectly soothing tonic for calming busy minds.

Review: Bicep's second album is shaped by the experience of touring their debut long player for something like three years, a period during which they honed and perfected their instinct for tracks that would stand the test of time and repeated listening. What develops is a distinctive style typified by a combination of ethereal sonics and cheeky, memorable instrumental hooks, only set to a variety of beats that reference and indeed fuse the plethora of different dance genres that have sprung up since the acid house revolution if the mid-80s. So we get everything from the electro-tainted 'X' to 'Rever', where an African choir floats over a subtle deep house shuffle and 'Saku', where UKG bass pressure and skippy beats provide a hypnotic background for Clara La San's sweet but ghostly voice.

Review: Using a variety of tape stocks, Black Swan creates a haunting atmosphere that evokes the sensation of uncovering long-lost, sacred recordings hidden in time on his ninth album, Ghost. The New York-based artist reveals that he was inspired by musique concrete and ambient while making the record, which is made up of 20 pieces that all form a continuous suite. Each track varies in length and complexity from short and sweet sketches to more elongated studies and that are made from intense layering and harmonic surges using an array of tape stocks. The result is a haunting, unearthly atmosphere that sounds perfect in this cassette format.

It sees the American provide a near-constant stream of innovative ambient music on the Past Inside The Present label - this new double album comes just a couple of months after his last one, Fumika Fades, but is essential once more. There are plenty of intense and heavily textured tracks as well as more empty and escapist pieces with heavenly melodies and subtle vocals worked into to dreamy effect. As always he serves up the album in various formats and this is the double cassette version which lends itself to the lo-fi aesthetic perfectly.

Review: Clouds Without Water is a project that came about after the chance meeting of two ambient experimentalists. They were both in attendance to perform at the same electronic music festival but came together over their shared love of Bristol Sound. Working over long distances and through the isolation of the pandemic, they sent tracks to each other "without plans or discussion, only wordless questions buried in the music." What resulted was this album, which evokes celestial dreams, moon-lit otherworldly landscapes and plenty of deep introspection. It is space music for spacing out to.

Review: The debut studio album from East Coast hip-hop group De La Soul, 3 Feet High & Rising, initially released in 1989 by Tommy Boy Records, returns to record store shelves thanks to Chrysalis. The first of three collaborations with the producer Prince Paul, the album contains the iconic singles 'Me Myself and I', 'The Magic Number', 'Buddy', and 'Eye Know', and is widely considered one of the greatest rap albums of all time. Veering masterfully between a playful, comic register, whilst still deeply engaged in late 80s US politics, particularly concerning the African American experience, this truly is an album that does it all. A real cornerstone for any hip-hop lover's record collection.

Review: US-based Mystery Circles is the next stop for Hiroshi EBINA following a previous outing here last year. This new cassette is another beautifully organic ambient soundscape with delicate pads and a sense of quiet hope and atomism. The beauty of the album cover really portrays the majesty of the music within as gentle chords linger in the air above warm and fuzzy drones. Some pieces are more empty that others which only lends the appearance of a wispy pad all the more weight while some grow in stubby intensity as sounds are layered up and draw you in ever deeper.

Review: As if The Exploited's iconic debut album needs any introduction, 'Punks Not Dead', served less as a title and more of a rallying cry and reactionary throat-punch to those who looked down their noses at the scene, regarding it as a flash in the pan movement. Establishing the Oi-punk attitude as an essential component, delving into anti-establishment and anti-army topics, as well as laying the groundwork for a plethora of vital acts to come, if ever there was a list of quintessential, integral punk records, this would reside atop of the scuzzy mountain.

Review: Experimental guitarist and composer Carlos Ferreira is inspired by how we listen to music and the singer between sound, space, time and memory. He's dropped ambient gems on the likes of Past Inside The Present and Modern Obscure but here serves up a superb cassette on Mystery Circles. Across eight pieces he concurs up a range of feelings from rose-tinted nostalgia on the beautifully tender opener 'The Light We Lost' to more uplifting feels on 'A Pile Of Thoughts' (feat Fu_k The Zeitgeist). 'Organism' has delicate vocal whispers from Patricia Wolf that make it all the more heavenly and a second appearance feature from Fu_k The Zeitgeist on 'Primal' is another standout.

Review: Hypnotism I is a new album from Foundation that the artist himself says has been a cherished part of his work since shortly after his previous work Mountain Ambient IV. We're told that its creation was a slow, immersive process that unfolded over months, with each layer evolving patiently. By composing intuitively, the album emerged naturally to reflect a glacial depth and subconscious growth. Its four pieces are all richly layered soundscapes with wispy melodies and dusty drones that sink you in deep and free your mind of all woes.

Review: The Doober, the latest release in the Music for Saxofone and Bass Guitar series by jazz duo Sam Gendel and Sam Wilkes, offers a unique take on covers from artists like Joni Mitchell, Judee Sill, and Sheryl Crow. Recorded live, the album captures the spontaneity of their performances, highlighting Gendel's vibrant saxophone and Wilkes' energetic basslines. Eschewing traditional renditions, the duo emphasizes textural exploration, transforming tracks like 'Rugged Road' and 'The Circle Game' into playful, experimental pieces. Their chemistry is evident throughout, with standout moments including a jazz twist on Sheryl Crow's 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and a seamless blend of Miklos Rozsa's 'Love Theme' and Chris Isaak's 'Wicked Game.'

Review: With Heilun, Hyldipi makes a stunning debut on ambient powerhouse Past Inside The Present by presenting seven meditative compositions shaped by his native Iceland's raw, introspective beauty. Crafted entirely with guitar and minimal hardware, each track feels like a gentle conversation with nature, ephemeral and soul-soothing. From the delicate strums of 'Opnun' to the deep serenity of 'Hvild,' the album flows like glacial melt, patient and healing. 'Fadmur' blooms with aching emotion, while 'Kyrrd' closes the journey in subaquatic calm. This is ambient music for deep listening-an improvised, transcendental escape into stillness, where the ego dissolves and all that remains is presence and peace.

Review: The Number of the Beast was Iron Maiden's third studio album. It came and made a huge impact in 1982 and that original version is the source for this 40th anniversary edition. It comes on cassette tape for extra nostalgic value and the chart topping tunes still carry plenty of weight today. One of them is their first UK top ten single, 'Run to the Hills,' which impressively managed to hit number 7 in the first week of March in 1982. Notably, it was also the first album form the rockers to have Bruce Dickinson on vocals.

Review: Is there another artist around with such a singular vision as Jay Glass Dubs? While there's more than likely to be a few, it's certainly true that the Bokeh Versions regular has an opaque, mind-altering trademark ambient dub sound noticeably different from his peers. It's at the heart of his latest release, a short-run cassette for The Tapeworm that effectively applies his trippy "sound soup" style to the DJ mix. The two 20-minute tracks are not mixes in a traditional sense, but rather drifting, effects-laden collages featuring samples and snippets from not only his recordings, but also those from a wide range of obscure and well-known artists from across the musical spectrum, making for wonderful horizontal listening.

The artist has formerly performed as The Greatest Hoax and here delves deep into contemporary classical and ambient music with a lo-fi feel and real sense of longing. The pads unfold slowly in gentle arcs, static drifts across the arrangements and muffled guitars peak through bleak clouds like little rays of hope. It is a work of subtle art and devastating emotionality.

Review: Dwell Time II is the second part of a three-part project on Past Inside The Present from T.R. Jordan. Each of the albums was made using the same material in the same time frame, and they are all part of one overarching and coherent suite that he refers to as "musical composting." This is the cassette tape version and it is full of grainy, fluttering howls, soft warbling pads, pastoral references like flowing streams and mossy rocks and plenty of grand spatial elegance that harks back to the likes of Hiroshi Yoshimura and early Brian Eno experiments. Another immersive offering from this fine label, then.

His meticulous curation for FMR showcases top-tier sound collages and experimental electronic music and that dedication shines in Lia Kohl and Daniel Wyche's latest release, 'Movie Candy.

Review: Freed from the usually harsh time constraints imposed on the band as a result of 2020's COVID-19 pandemic restrictions, Korn found themselves happily chipping away at a sound they'd always spearheaded on 'Requiem', albeit with much more freedom and time on their hands. Full of nu-metal pine and telephoned-in emo vocal drawls, this latest from the band contains more sprawling arrangements and experimentations in recording to analog tape. Don't think this is Korn going retro, though: it might as well be called nu-nu-metal, it sounds so fresh!

Review: Having debuted in mid-2021 with a cassette-only mini-album, the admirable but hard-to-find Sell, mysterious, Atlanta-based ambient outfit The Lifted Index delivers its debut album proper on Past Inside The Present. Described by its creators as "a mediation on our interconnected world", Hosts of Living Form was reportedly inspired by a combination of the life cycle of plant life (in their words, "death, decay, decomposition, growth"). Musically, it's a quietly picturesque affair in which ambient electronics, crackling aural textures, effects-laden pianos and the Duratti Column style guitar sounds ebb and flow to create fluid, organic soundscapes. It's all quietly impressive, but at its finest - such as on 'In Stones & Trees, The Bones of Things', and the lilting 'Eluvium Repose' - the album is genuinely breath-taking.

Review: After the shocking news of frontman Chester Bennington's untimely passing in 2017, many presumed it to be the sudden yet apparent bookend for nu-metal turned alt-rock megastars Linkin Park. Following a definitive greatest hits collection featuring the last known remnants of material recorded with their original vocalist, it's now clear that compilation served more as closure to the band's original era rather than the initially perceived farewell most fans ascertained. Returning with Dead Sara vocalist Emily Armstrong as well as new drummer Colin Brittain (following the departure of founding member Rob Bourdain), From Zero marks the eighth full-length from the group and first since 2017's divisive, pop-oriented One More Light. Taking its title from their original moniker of Xero, the material seeks to find a fulcrum between the band's more aggressive nu-metal beginnings and the latter-day electronic pop-rock formula, whilst sonically bearing familiarity to the musical entity fans have stood by for multiple decades yet altering the playing field to complement their vastly different new vocalist.

The cut figure is a master in the club too and this recording from the iconic Bloc Weekender in 2011 proves that as it now gets pressed up to a brand new cassette from the Never Sleep charity tape series.

Signing with Nuclear Blast and enlisting the likes of Chelsea Wolfe collaborator/producer Tyler Bates to helm the project, his 12th full-length One Assassination Under God: Chapter 1 (indicating that more is sure to follow), offers up some of the heaviest and introspective material of his career to date, with cuts such as 'Nod If You Understand' harking back to the unhinged angst of Antichrist Superstar, whereas 'As Sick As The Secrets Within' breathes with the same mercurial synth-gloom as the strongest moments on Mechanical Animals. A cynical attempt to regain fan adoration, or the sound of a tortured artist finally coming to terms with his own demons and attempting to rediscover former glory and prowess, the interpretation is entirely your own to consider.

Pathways is his newest album and is another signature blend of deep techno, dub, and ambient sounds that explore fresh ground. This one comes on cassette - a fitting medium for his always hazy, lo-fi sounds, and opens with a gorgeous stargazer loosely tethered to a dreamy groove. 'Movement' is just much of a cosmic floater, 'Accident' has static electricity fizzing about an underwater chamber and 'Through' is a slow-motion dubscape. 'Exodus' and 'Calm' close out this beautifully unhurried exploration of the deep.

Kokubo's traditional Japanese instrumentation defines the work as it sweeps you up and transports you to someone that is serene and introspective. Across four pieces here they do just that - each one unhurried and vast in sci, with delicate keys tinkling above yawning chords and spring day energies on 'Thousand Bells 1'. The second piece is a little warmer, with synth smears and distant breezes bring in all manner of elegant percussive sounds. Side two continues the exploration of the Far Eastern countryside on a sunny day in mesmerising and soothing fashion.

As you can expect, the grooves are dusty, complex and rooted in house but with plenty of influences from soul, funk and jazz. The vocals from Rose are as smooth as you like and take the form of soulful streams of consciousness. Utterly vital.

A narrator features throughout to heighten the concept and it makes for a big return to the fray.
