Another track off the upcoming Darkside album due out Spring 2021 (which means soon?). While good, I enjoy Liberty Bell better. Regardless can’t wait for the new record!

Pyramid is  Etienne Copin from Lyon, France. I have been a fan for awhile and this marks the 10 year mark for his debut record, The Hall. To celebrate he has released this fantastic track off his yet to be released new album. His tracks “Contact” and “Love on the Edge” remain some of my all time favorite electronic tracks.

Hiroshi Suzuki’s album Cat released in 1975 appears to be his only record (let me know if it is not!) but is absolutely fantastic. He does not even have a Wikipedia link! My favorite track off the record is this one here, “Romance”. Check it out.

One of my favorite bands around Darkside is back (thankfully!). With a new single and a new record coming out in “Spring 2021″. This initial track is great and very excited about the full record. Glad the duo is back. I thought they had dissolved for good after the incredible Psychic record.

New remix from a blog favorite, Harvey Sutherland. I am not familiar with KIAN but this track is really great. If you are looking for more from Harvey Sutherland his track “Clarity” is one of my all time favorite electronic tracks.

Have enjoyed Neil Frances’ cover of Stardust’s track “Music Sounds Better with You” for some time but this new track “Mr Blue” is really good and I don’t think its a cover? Their cover of “Teardrops” by Roosevelt is also a great listen.

I ran across Green a couple months ago and it is fantastic. The album is by Japanese musician and composer Hiroshi Yoshimura. Considered a pioneer of ambient music in Japan. His music is classified within the minimalist genre of kankyō ongaku, or environment music. He features electronic melodies while heavily sampling from the outdoors (birds, water etc.). His track “CREEK” is on of my favorites and featured here. Check it out.

One of the cooler albums you will listen to all year. Check out Emeka Ogboh’s Beyond the Yellow Haze. Ogboh is a Nigerian sound and installation artist and this record is an amazing blend of beats and soundscapes of life in his native Lagos.

“Albatross” by Fleetwood Mac was released as a single in 1968 as a single. The instrumental track would be later featured in 1969 for the album The Pious Bird of Good Omen.

Shigeo Sekito is a Japanese electone player. His first series of professional work was the Special Sound Series which was released in the mid-late 1970s on vinyl. He is perhaps best known for this track which Mac DeMarco used for his track "Chamber of Reflection" from Sekito's Special Sound Series Vol. 2 song The Word II.
