SR2012 by Howes
A new compilation on Spontaneous Rhythm Records from John Howes. Most of the names are unknown to me. But the track are all quality, gentle electronic techno. And it’s available for free download.
None of the artists on this compilation are known to me, with the exception of Mogadishu (who featured back here). But there is a calm techno/IDM streak that runs through this compilation. And a sense of the unhurried. Starts with Cutoff! Cutoff! which has a lush IDM feel. Coppice Halifax is more spectral IDM. Thrupence has a classical feel with piano and strings. Really rather ambient. Howes’ own track is a crackly piece of drone. Fischerie starts to approach deep house. Mogadishu is more RnB glitch. Divine Interface follows a similar path. Lesvilles ends the album with more lush IDM. Overall, a quality package.
Release/catalogue number: SR008
