Cepia – Cepia (Cepia Music)
Huntley Miller’s 2007 debut, Natura Morta, on Ghostly International as Cepia ends with Untitled II. His sophomore release on his own Cepia Music, self-titled Cepia, begins with Untitled III. Perhaps it is meant to tie the three years together, perhaps it’s nothing more than a lack of words for the titles, or maybe there is no [...]

What’s great about this album, is that there was more than a few times when I had that “aaaah…” moment. Perhaps what drove me to write this raving review about 7fingers is that there were those moments one too many. On every single track. I first found out about this album when the new release [...]

I’ve been a fan of Jamie Watts’ KiloWatts project since his 2006 release Routes. Watts creates some of the most intelligent electronica mixed with punching beats and persistent melodies that keep swirling in my cranium long into the night. Last year, after his groundbreaking Ground State (Native State, 2007), Headphone Commute reviewed KiloWatts’ Undercurrent ambient [...]

While other Architect albums have been somewhat minimalist affairs, Consume Adapt Create is crammed full of sounds… individual and myriad in number, placement and aesthetic. You might have wondered what happens when Daniel Myer is placed in a creative vacuum and allowed free reign to run as far as his imagination will take him. This [...]

From the mysterious depths of Hiroshima, Japan, arrives an inconspicuous, yet meticulously packaged 10″ square packet. Inside is a hand-numbered elaborately printed envelope containing two photographic prints, two random newspaper clippings (I’ve got a photo of an Italian train station, and a shot of an Asian artisan), and a full length album from Akatombo, titled [...]

Here’s Adams, shining a little light on this darker corner of his psyche: i wanted to [...]

Roel Funcken – Vade (Ad Noiseam)
Here’s my remedy for a sleepy brain. A shot of caffeine with a touch of Funcken in my headphones. First the mixture goes down easy, drifting in and out of my peripheral hearing – then the beat latches into the neuron receptor, and unlocks its secrets with a click. Roel Funcken is one of the [...]

Once introduced to that delicious, sweet nectar, the addict constantly searches for more. Just another hit, another bump, another tweak to get one smiling. In my case, the choice of drug is music. Whether it be a melodic harmony within the player’s piano keys, or nasty glitch within his framework – I … WANT … MORE! [...]
