"It's warm, shimmering music, which sort of bends time in the way that only floating waves of glistening ambience can. I sat right between my speakers, immersed in the full frequency spectrum for the whole 26 minutes, letting myself get lost in the gently evolving arc of the record. The 12k/LINE back catalogue is an obvious reference point, which I perhaps wouldn't have mentioned except for Taylor Deupree's mastering credit on the sleeve.

This release sits firmly in the DIY realm, encased in lovely, hand made paper packaging. It's great stuff, and if you stumble across a copy this reviewer urges you to have a listen."

REPEAT by Matt Rösner (MIATERA)

Repeat offers 6 new works by Rösner that demonstrate the composer’s musical maturing since his debut release on 12x50 and a couple of releases of environmental and electronic sound in Australia and the US.

He engages on Repeat with the sound of voice, recorded instruments and performers. Reminiscent of Morton Feldman, these works unfold their beauty over time. With additional material by Adam Trainer, Greg Taw and Alexander Wendt, this vinyl release explores patterns and structures – observations of Rösner’s environment at the oceanic West coast of Australia. Calculations based on the Fibonacci series laid out timing and structure of Lattices, the track that spans over the entire B-Side. It explores tones and frequencies over 20 minutes. Limited edition of 500

This excellent release provides time and place for contemplation as a good piece of art should do. Furthermore Repeat comes also in a deluxe collector’s white vinyl edition, with additional artwork

Diana

Back in the 1960’s, a small firm in Hong Kong – the Great Wall Plastics Factory – created a dirt-cheap 120 camera called the “Diana.” Crafted entirely of plastic, each camera cost about a dollar. As a mainstream product, the Diana was pretty much a failure – and was discontinued in the 1970’s. But like any superstar cut down in their prime, the Diana’s posthumous appeal skyrocketed. As a cult artistic tool of avant-garde and lo-fi photographers, it was a rousing success! They loved its soft & dreamy images, super-saturated colors, unpredictable blurring, and random contrast. Diana shots are raw & gritty, with a character all their own. They simply cannot be duplicated by any other camera on Earth! In short order, the Diana rose to prominence as one of the most treasured and sought-after cult analog cameras from the late 70’s onward.

Norman Records review of Love via Paper Planes

The Ghost of 29 Megacycles come from Australia where it's sunny and people have corks hanging from their hats and Alf Stewart lives there shaking his fist at children and people say "I can see the pub from here" sometimes. However, they seem happy to ignore most of these things in favour of sculpting sheer, blissful surfaces of drone from organs and guitars before topping them off with occasional shoegaze-style breathy female vocalising. And on 'Love Via Paper Planes' they do a very fine job of it, the sonic maelstrom occasionally reminding me of a more hopeful Nadja. Edition of 500 on Sound and Fury.

Vital Weekly review of Love via Paper Planes

THE GHOST OF 29 MEGACYCLES - LOVE VIA PAPER PLANES (CD by Sound & Fury Records)
So far I counted two and half releases by The Ghost Of 29 Megacycles, a three piece from a land downunder. Karen De San Miguel, Matthew Aitken and Gregory Taw. The latter started the band, but now is a real band. They are a guitar band primarily. A shoegazing guitar band, with a strong influence of Windy & Carl and Stars Of The Lid. Long sustaining sounds are produced the guitars - maybe with the addition of other instruments, but I can not be sure of that. Spacious music, played with the use of looping devices, lots of chorus and reverb - perhaps the latter is over-used here. The guitars no longer tinkle away, like they did on their previous two releases, but sustain on end, with every now and then some wordless singing added to it, the Windy & Carl influence I'd say. 'Dusted', a short piece towards the end uses organ like sounds and no guitars. The final track, the also short 'True Love Will Find You In The End' is the only one in which the singing has words and seems to be breaking away from the first four tracks. Ambient music for space heads (wether or not inhaling substances).
