Originally released as a 10” back in 2010 on Downwards, Karl O’Connor’s project with Juan ‘Silent Servant’ Mendez gets repackaged and re-released on Minimal Wave. In part, this is to counteract the online sellers looking to make a quick buck from the limited edition original release – prices go over €70 in some cases – but it also satisfies Minimal Wave’s aim of cataloguing, archiving and curating music in great detail. To put it another way, the New York label is the Guggenheim of the underground reissue scene.

Bold and visually distinct, the artwork for Camella Lobo’s long awaited debut album as Tropic Of Cancer offers the first hint at what to expect from Restless Idylls. The sense of romantic longing entrenched deep within the DNA of Tropic Of Cancer is readily portrayed with Lobo’s own hand, replete with vivid red nail polish, hesitating over a bejewelled candelabrum hosting roses. Yet set across a backdrop of green that almost glowers if you spend too long staring, the cover art immediately strikes you as a departure from the deathly aesthetic that much of Tropic Of Cancer’s music has been presented in.

With Karl O’Connor and Russell Haswell joining forces as Concrete Fence to author the latest record on PAN, it’s fair to say that New Release (1) carries with it the legacy of two decades of electronic music experimentation. It could so easily have turned into sonic one-upmanship, but thankfully both parties have brought their expertise and experience to a release that while hardly accessible may nonetheless attract the attention of the casual listener.
