quanta records’ third release, correspondances, is a mini lp by aeon that combines experimental techno, ambient and musique concrète elements. the tracks of the album communicate through similar sounds, noises and rhythmic patterns, but while atmospheres diverge, there is a constant exchange from cold and industrial to solar and melodious so as to form a complex and balanced ensemble.
aeon’s has placed randomness at the centre of his creative process. computing and random programming have allowed the artist to explore new structures and to no longer simply consider a glitch as an error, but rather as a primal source of novel sound.

nice price deal !!! the moody boyz remix of ‘know my name’ lends ms omega’s vocal a more calescent energy, purely due to the lucid dependability of its boisterous, bolstering bassline. it seems only natural that a trailblazing spearhead of the genre of dub should be one to reconstruct the soulful precursor to this experiential achievement, in a version that compels the attentions of both the passive tranquilized listener and the active dancefloor denizen. mischievous percussive splattering, playfully arpeggiated sonic energy and clarified stereo legroom are all integral elements of this dazzling interpretation, as it retains the unornamented, spatial candor of the original, while simultaneously instilling it with a current of what can only be described as voltaic charisma. in short, this tune is a powerful invocation to an inestimable ensemble of musical heritage: concurrent harmonic simplicity interleaved with melodic ascension make the moody boyz remix a consolidated torpedo of euphoniously triumphant achievement and savvily creative coordination.

over the course of four albums, manchester based trumpeter, composer, arranger and band-leader matthew halsall has carved out a niche for himself on the uk music scene as one of it s brightest talents. his languid, soulful music has won friends from jamie cullum and gilles peterson to jazz fm and mojo as well as an ever-growing international following. his label gondwana records is home to gogo penguin and his own albums have found halsall exploring the modal jazz of john and alice coltrane, paying tribute to the hard bop of the late ’50s and early ’60s or most recently on fletcher moss park drawing on eastern influences in his most personal statement yet. his latest album when the world was one is something of a companion piece to fletcher moss park (much of the music was written at the same time) but draws more explicitly on halsall’s love of spiritual jazz and eastern music as well as his own studies in meditation and travels in japan. beautifully recorded at hasall’s favourite studio, 80 hertz in manchester, and engineered by brendan williams and george atkins it features the recording debut of halsall’s large ensemble, the gondwana orchestra, which utilises the exotic flavours of harp, koto and bansuri flute and eastern scales to create a global palate for halsall’s life-affirming sounds.
