Review: 'Hearing The Water Before Seeing The Falls' is Andrew Wasylyk's second LP for the esteemed Clay Pipe Music label. The album is a refreshing, palette-cleansing exercise in instrumental beats, cinematic soundscapes, and seafaring adventure music; the Scottish artist is renowned for his sensitive ambient cinematic pieces, often complementing the works of visual artists. For example, this project saw Wasylyk travel across five continents before its making, visiting many of the locations that will suffer from climate change in much less than half a century from now. Cameo appearances on various instruments from Alabaster DePlume (Angus Fairbairn) appear across the album, while many more climactic string sequences occur like hesitant apparitions from ghosts of the sea.

Review: ***B-STOCK: Sleeve damaged but otherwise in excellent condition***
David Boulter returns to Clay Pipe with St Ann's, an evocative tribute to the Nottingham council estate that shaped his early years. Since his Yarmouth LP in 2020 and Lovers Walk in 2021, Boulter has focused on soundtrack work, scoring films like Volkan Uce's Displaced and Gregorio Graziosi's Tinnitus. St Ann's chronicles Boulter's childhood, contrasting the harsh conditions of the old estate with the improved, vibrant new development. The album's subtle use of guitar, double bass, vibraphone, tenor recorder, and field recordings vividly recreates the atmosphere of crumbling Victorian streets and the optimism of the post-1960s renewal. Boulter's narrative delves into personal memories, painting a poignant picture of community transformation. His reflection on moving to a new house with modern amenities, while still attending an old Victorian school being demolished, adds depth to the story. The project was deeply influenced by Boulter's emotional experience of clearing out his family home at the end of 2022. St Ann's is more than a personal memoir; it's a celebration of inner-city renewal and the enduring spirit of community. This album resonates with nostalgia, capturing the key moments of Boulter's formative years.

Review: Since his Yarmouth LP in 2020, and the spoken word-based Lovers Walk the following year, Boulter has concentrated on his soundtrack work. He has produced various scores and has also released a series of lathe-cuts featuring his soundtrack work among a few other projects. St Ann's, is a tribute to the council estate, on the edge of Nottingham city centre that defined Boulter's formative years. By the late 1960s, St. Ann's, like many other city centre areas, had become run down and was earmarked by the council for slum clearance. 340 acres were bulldozed and 30,000 people including David's family were compulsorily uprooted. In 1970 the Victorian streets were replaced with a Radburn-style estate. The soundtrack inspiration was set from his youth. Subtle use of guitar, double bass, vibraphone, tenor recorder and field recordings conjure up the old streets of cobble and slate, damp brickwork and grey skies, juxtaposing the newer post-1960s world of pebble dash and green grass, fresh air and a brighter future. This is a record full of personal memories, but it also tells the tale of Britain's inner cities and their renewal in the 60s and 70. As Boulter said: "It is a celebration of a community, streets that still hold a special place in my heart. I will always be from St Ann's and St Ann's will always be a part of me."

Hindsight
Review: Cate Brooks is now up to a seventh release on Clay Pipes and with each new outing she always evolves. 'Easel Studies' is no different and sees the artist going further than ever before beyond the pale when it comes to sound synthesis and experimentation on the Buchla Music Easel. What results is melody that's both abstract and alien but still beautifully compelling. She layers it up in hypnotic fashion across ten tracks that range from the cosmic to the synthetic, the ambient to more rhythmic. It's the sort of record to put on loud and tune in to closely and lose all sense of space and time.

Review: This is the third time Jon Brooks' "Shapwick" has been on vinyl, but the first as the "Tawny Owl" version. It is named after a small rural village Brooks drove through in 2011 and was inspired by the darkness of the forests around him. It features a range of sound sources from a song harp to modular analogue synths, acoustic and electronic instruments via found sounds and piano recordings. It was all originally recorded to tape and so has plenty of blurred edges and warming hiss to it and comes on numbered pale blue vinyl.

Magic Lantern (limited hand-numbered translucent yellow vinyl LP)
Cat: PIPE 038LP. Rel: 11 Mar 24
Modern Classical
Review: "As a long-time fan of soundtracks and library music, I was thrilled by the opportunity to see just how much emotion I could compress into the brief connecting links that would augment a furtive kiss, a painful psychic vision, or a breeze across the bones of a scorched landscape," says Timmi Meskers, the North Country, New York-based artist behind Garden Gate. "The first glimmer of Magic Lantern flickered over the kitchen sink, if memory serves. I was cleaning up with a dear friend, author Roan Parrish, and we were discussing how we could collaborate creatively. "Our first idea was that she would share prose to inspire my themes, and inversely, I would share a few original themes to inspire her writing. Before we knew it, what started as a handful of stories and songs, damp with soap suds, ended up becoming a fully scored audiobook anthology." In practice, that sounds like achingly beautiful compositions packed with a sense of wonder and mystery, adventures and experiences waiting for a narrative, blissed out stargazing scores and spectacular ambient movements.

Review: Gilroy Mere aka Oliver Cherer shows off two different sides of his sound on this new Gilden Gate album for Clay Pipe. It is the latest in a long line of superb sounds over the course of two decades which have distilled folktronic, singer-songwriter, jazz, ghost-pop and guitar tinged disco rock. Here he soundtracks sun-kissed beaches and rural Suffolk on side one and then goes underwater to explore through music the lost city of Dunwich,

Adlestrop (limited hand-numbered blue vinyl LP + insert)
Cat: PIPE 02503. Rel: 22 Mar 23
Ambient/Drone
Review: Gilroy Mere is one of many alter egos of Oliver Cherer, and when working under this moniker there's a predisposition for transport-themed things to happen. The last album, beautiful and beguiling The Green Line, had a rich, dark green vintage British train on the cover just in case the title wasn't enough. In the past, he's done things themed on bus routes. This time, the locomotive on the sleeve is red.
More so, Adlestrop is a reference to one of many UK railway stations axed in the brutal Beeching Act of the 1960s - a cull of small stations deemed unviable, cutting off many communities. The opener, a strange, almost medieval slice of birdsong, chant, and twinkling chimes, even reels off a list of others that were closed. From there, we go deeper into sounds and words that are as inspired by the idea of rural England and travel as they are the country's eccentricity, which is so commonly founding its leftfield electronic output.

Through Passages Of Time (numbered limited yellow vinyl LP)
Cat: PIPE 014LP. Rel: 02 Feb 17
Experimental/Electronic
Review: On Through Passages of Time, Clay Pipe founder Frances Castle - AKA The Hardy Tree - has attempted to "soundtrack buildings and areas of London that no longer exist". Fundamentally, it's a kind of an extended ode to a London that has been cast aside in the rush towards gentrification. Musically, it feels contemporary but nostalgic, a feeling enhanced by the use of vintage equipment ("clusters" of sequenced Moog synthesizers, proto-sampling keyboard the Mellotron, and so on). Most of all, though, this is down to Castle's ability to conjure evocative aural images through the use of bittersweet melodies, melancholic chord progressions, and snatched field recordings.

Music For Smalls Lighthouse (reissue) (limited hand-numbered green vinyl LP + booklet + coaster + MP3 download code)
Cat: PIPE 08. Rel: 31 Jul 18
Ambient/Drone
Review: Michael Tanner's Plinth project has been a consistent source of quality electronics since the early 00s, with the artist releasing an album every three or four years. 2010's Music For Smalls Lighthouse was an instant hit when it landed here the first time around, so this tidy reissue from Clay Pipe is a valuable addition to our charts. If you haven't heard it, you can probably already hear its magnetic waves of organic instruments sweeping through the air, brought into shape by luscious drones and ambient soundscapes of all shapes and sizes. What we love about it the most is its natural ability to reign on elements of the wind and the sea with such ease, taking the listener onto a mystical voyage across oceanic planes of sound. A beautiful collection of tracks.

Plaint Of Lapwing (limited hand-numbered vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: PIPE 013. Rel: 06 Jul 16
Folk/Americana
Review: The redoubtable Roberts has carved out a considerable niche for himself in the last decade, standing proud as a warm and authentic voice of Scottish folk - moreover, his work has rarely sounded more traditional or earthy than on this collaboration with James Green of the Sheffield based Big Eyes Family Players, who plays a variety of instruments including the little-known harmoniflute. Equal parts heartwarming and melancholic, the laments and celebrations on Plaint Of Lapwing possess the magical and paradoxical ability to hark back to a bygone era of a mystical folk realm overseen by legends like Incredible String Band and C.O.B. whilst engaging in style with the whys and wherefores of 2016.

Musically It draws on a variety of influences including such as progress rock, electronica and European film soundtracks.

Cat: PIPE 021LP. Rel: 02 Oct 19
Experimental/Electronic
Review: Vic Mars spent many years in Nagoya, Japan, and it shows in the delicate beauty of his compositions. Fusing understated elegance with the lilting folk traditions of the British Isles, his music is equal parts pastoral and ethereal. Following plenty of previous appearances on boutique London label Clay Pipe, he returns with "Inner Roads & Outer Paths", a thoroughly calming sojourn through fingerpicked guitar refrains, plaintive piano and plenty more instrumentation besides. There's a subtle tint of processing that lends an otherworldly edge to the ambience Mars is imparting - a truly soul-nourishing departure from the intensity of the modern age.

Ash Grey & The Gull Glides On (orange vinyl LP + MP3 download code)
Cat: PIPE 040LP. Rel: 19 Sep 24
Modern Classical
Review: Ash Grey And The Gull Glides On marks the debut collaborative album from composers Andrew Wasylyk and Tommy Perman. Their synergy, built through years of audio-visual collaborations, culminates in this meditative ten-song collection. Rooted in Perman's ambient-acid-house rhythms and multi-textural percussion, the album features sampled sounds from Wasylyk's upright piano. Drum machines, transcendental piano motifs, fluttering synthesizers, saxophone swells, and choral vocals weave through the fabric of this album. Inspired by 'Recording Instructions', 'Tempo Cards', and 'Chord Cards' sent by Tommy to Andrew, the project encourages exploration and improvisation, akin to the Fluxus movement. Standout tracks include 'Communal Imagination,' with Wasylyk's ethereal piano floating above Perman's dynamic rhythms, and 'Root Grow Emerge,' blending brass and children's field recordings. 'Blessing Of The Banners' evolves into a hopeful cinematic jazz piece, while 'Spec Of Dust Becomes A Beam' crescendos into a kosmiche groove.The album's closing track, 'Be the Hammer,' features Aidan Moffat's reflective vocals over ascending chords. A highlight for those already raving about this soundtrack. Ash Grey And The Gull Glides On radiates warmth, curiosity, and a profound sense of artistic unity, reflecting a place where community, love and creativity converge. A wonderful ambient album with a lot to offer.
