I really dislike Ilian Tapes' greedy pricing policy for digital releases. So I'm going to wait until Bandcamp Day is over before I purchase, so that the label gets as little of my money as possible.

I am saddened to hear that Sophie died in an accident this weekend. https://www.nme.com/news/music/dj-and-producer-sophie-has-died-2868461

For me this is The Album of the Year, by a wide margin. (And I never even liked their previous album Wildflowers...)

Amazing album.

Out on Hyperdub 20 November 2020 (2LP, CD, etc).

Beautiful, blissful album.

It is the same band.

Not many people probably remember this british duo, who released one of the most mindbendingly beautiful dreampop/electronica albums of the 1990's, imho. (Check out the classic "Euphoria" if you can.) Kirsty Yates, the singer, is definitely one of my favourite female vocalists of all time, with the most sensuous voice you might hear in a long time. The band is releasing their first album in 20 years in November. Here's a taster from the new album...

New album out on Mute in November.

More gorgeous harp music out on Ghostly International on October 9. Recorded/produced by Neil Halstead of Slowdive. https://marylattimoreharpist.bandcamp.com/album/silver-ladders

New album on Warp out 16 October.

Yes, heard it once so far on Spotify, and really like it too. Waiting for the CD version to turn up at some European distributor , to be able to get it with cheaper shipping.

This is the best ambient album this year.
