danshoebridge Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Got the vinyl copy from CPU a few days back and it's a very nice album. 'Sunken Paths' in particular is really doing it for me, one of the best CPU releases yet I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danshoebridge Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Having just played it at a decent volume I can confirm that 'locus reave' is an absolute banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Bleep: "Mikron return to CPU with their second album 'Severance'. The Corcoran brothers refine their critically acclaimed sound which has evolved to be more haunting than the last release. This album is a nostalgic affair with synthetic landscapes washing over you, before propelling you into the distant future. The ambient moments draw parallels with Boards of Canada, Burial and Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2. Their last album sold out fast, so don't sleep on this." https://bleep.com/release/122798-mikron-severance Sample are up too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extralife Posted January 31, 2019 Author Share Posted January 31, 2019 Out now. Sounds amazing as expected. Best act on CPU. (Well if we are considering Morphology, tied for best) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fumi Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 This is solid as fuck. More atmospheric (and somehow more complete) than their debut album - not that I didn't like that. But this is a different beast altogether. Standouts for me are: Embers, Lyre, Aldergrove, Sunken Paths and Cast on a Clock Face. These alone are worth the price of the album. Best thing I've heard so far this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uros Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 ^holy fucking shit that wind jacket...fresh In addition to RA mix must toot this VLR mix. VLR is a legend in my books. Always grade A mixes These two mixes should give a good idea of what CPU is all about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
