The Lower Lights is well known as one of the most emotionally potent ambient records of recent years. It is a collection of 10 tunes from a busy period in which 36 undertook a year-long 'Audio Diary' project. The sounds are immediate and direct, demanding of your full focus and a mix of dark and urgent, cyberpunk-inspired and emotionally charged ambient sounds that bring all new thinking to the genre. Nice work.

Milanese Techno Visionary MAIKE DEPAS Announces His Edgy Debut EP

Lost soul phenomenon Lewis Taylor's Numb finally arrives on double vinyl! One of UK soul’s most fascinating artists, most enigmatic figures and most under-appreciated talents, Andrew Lewis Taylor is a prodigious multi-instrumentalist and eclectic polymath. He enjoys a fiercely loyal following which, over the years, has included celebrity champions like Bowie, Elton and D'Angelo. Numb is Taylor's sixth album, initially released on his own label Slow Reality (an anagram of his name) and licensed to Be With for this long-awaited physical edition. It captures Taylor's wholly unique, intoxicating take on lush, late-night psychedelic soul music.

Lewis wrote and recorded these 10 brand new tracks after a 17 year break from making music, although the album came together over a two-year period. The years away have done nothing to dull Taylor's unique musical vision. He still astounds. The lyrical themes, however, have shifted. Understandably, more than a decade and a half of soul searching and unflinching self-examination cannot fail to influence this most honest of songwriters, and boy does it show. Numb marks a return to the darker, more mysterious side of his output: "Brian Wilson-channels-Smokey Robinson atmospheres", as Mojo put it recently.

After playing a rapturously received gig at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC in 2006, Lewis unceremoniously walked away from music and disappeared completely. An interview in 2016 shed light on some of the reasons for Taylor’s withdrawal from the business, but there was no hint of a return anytime soon. Then in June 2021, news emerged out of the blue that he was readying new music alongside Sabina Smyth with whom he had worked first time around.

On Numb, Lewis deftly balances stark, soul-bearing lyrics with moody mid-tempo pop-soul sheen. He deals candidly with depression, mental turmoil, even thoughts of suicide - clearly more personal than Taylor's earlier songs. The music is rich, warm and layered, with infectious melodies and hooks that stick with you. A true grower of an LP, it really does reward repeated listens. As Jim Irvin in Mojo reflected, "despite the depths these plumb, it's a curiously uplifting experience, unfurling like a concept album about life's challenges with an optimistic beauty at its heart."

Triumphant dubwise horns ring out yet, almost instantly, “Final Hour” takes on a dark, downbeat vibe. With lyrics that confront (and, seemingly, confound) death head-on, Lewis ensures the groove is still there, the beats still swing and your head still nods, strings glissade. Woven around delicate yet insistent piano and subtle strings over a killer bassline, the title track “Numb” is a good example of the lyrical themes throughout the album. As Taylor reflects, "So removed I feel no pain / And for all I know I could be having the time of my life" with a coda that feels very much in conversation with Brian Wilson's finest harmonies. "Feels So Good" is sophisticated 90s-sounding soul of the highest order. The music and vocals feel simultaneously optimistic and despondent. Downlifting. A neat trick, and one Lewis has been so adept at over the years. "Apathy" is a mini-epic, a symphonic-soul gem which builds and glides and, eventually, soars. “Worried Mind" is another slow-builder, creeping out the gate in a sketchy, discordant fashion before climbing to half-crescendo but never quite breaking free of its disorientating restraint.

The brighter "Please" presents a more hopeful mood, with the refrain "I still believe" ringing out as Lewis harmonises with himself. "Brave Heart" quietly struts from step one, as Lewis's falsetto swaggers over a downtempo backdrop with ace echoey drums, beautiful strings and serene electric guitar. Closing out Side C, "Is It Cool" answers its own (non-) question with a spellbinding five and a half minutes of swoonsome deep soul that oscillates between a restrained, barely-there backdrop and a lushly full musical accompaniment of acoustic and electric guitar and organ over bass and slick drums. The penultimate track "Nearer" is a magical, soul-stirring ballad in which Lewis sings of reaching a sweet salvation and achieving a peace of mind. If the hairs on the back of your neck aren't standing up by the midway point, you might need to check your pulse. Album closer and true tear-jerker "Being Broken" places Lewis's gorgeous voice high in the mix and the wordless falsetto and melodies invite you to ponder what Pet Sounds might sound like if it were refashioned as a dubby 21st Century electronic soul album. Astonishing.

Simon Francis’s vinyl mastering spreads out the ten tracks over a double LP so, as ever, nothing is compromised. And as usual, the records have been cut by Cicely Balston at Air Studios and pressed at Record Industry. Turn it up and let the Lewis Taylor sound envelop you.

The Big G is back, but has Godzilla bitten off more than it can chew? 1992's GODZILLA VS MOTHRA is a triple threat treasure, with Godzilla battling the legendary Mothra and its dark doppelganger Battra, unleashed by a meteorite and is intent on destroying Mothra and, subsequently, the world. Throw in a rogue archaeologist, his ex-wife, and a multinational company exploiting the minute Mothra Cosmos twins, and you have a thrilling kaiju adventure with a stunning score by the original Godzilla composer, the brilliant Akira Ifukube. GODZILLA VS MOTHRA is undoubtedly one of Ifukube's most outstanding scores, bringing together the traditional booming brass and bass that accompanies Godzilla and Battra with a more ethereal sensibility for Mothra and her mission to save the Earth. Godzilla's theme is stomping in the foreground, and Battra gets similar material with a gigantic doom-laden motif for his destructive power. But the "Sacred Springs" theme for Mothra is a match for any of them, with Ifukube using it in minor and major modes, with a gorgeous rendition with a female chorus at the climax of the score, illustrating once again that when it comes to the music of Godzilla, Akira Ifukube is the master.

Tief im glühenden Kessel von Texas haben die Alchemisten von Necrofier (mit Mitgliedern von Night Cobra, Oceans of Slumber, Venomous Maximus, etc.) mit ihrem zweiten Album "Burning Shadows in the Southern Night" eine weitere starke Dosis amerikanischen Black Metals gebraut. Das Vierergespann aus Houston besinnt sich auf die bewährten Tugenden des traditionellen Black und Heavy Metal und wählt einen organischen Klangansatz, indem es den siebenfach Grammy-nominierten Produzenten und Tontechniker Joel Hamilton (Unsane, Tom Waits, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, etc.) engagiert, um einen natürlichen Sound zu erzeugen. "Burning Shadows in the Southern Night" wird bei all jenen, die es wagen, dieses bösartige neue Werk zu hören, mit Sicherheit ein Gefühl der Nostalgie hervorrufen.

Für Fifth Angel-Fans oder Fans von melodischem Power Metal ist dieses Album einfach ein Muss. Die Texte und Themen der letzten Trilogie der Fifth Angel-Alben werden zu einem doppelten Konzeptalbum verwoben, das sich in die Reihe von Helloweens "Keeper of the Seven Keys", Pink Floyds "The Wall" oder Queensryches "Operation Mindcrime" einreiht: "When Angels Kill" ist ein Paradebeispiel für "All Killer No Filler" US Metal. Jeder Song ist ein eigenständiges Werk, und die Doppelvinyl-, CD- und Digitalversionen sind fast siebzig Minuten lang. Fifth Angel melden sich nach ihrem gefeierten "The Third Secret" (2018) mit einem Paukenschlag zurück, der herausragende Tracks wie "When Angels Kill", "On Wings of Steel", "We Are Immortal", "Resist The Tyrant" und "Empire of Hate" zu bieten hat.

Extrem melodischer, eingängiger und makelloser Metal für Fans von Queensryche, Judas Priest und Metal Church ist, was FIFTH ANGEL auf dem Titeltrack ihres vierten Werks "When Angels Kill" liefern. Obwohl die Band in den 80er Jahren gegründet wurde, ist Retro nicht das, was diese Jungs wollen. Das hier ist zeitloser, kraftvoller Metal in seiner besten Form!

We brake, always,
The rules of our ego,
Of the esteem for ourselves.

We leave the room,
to any kind of influence,
that pull us into eddies without exit.

We allow our minds,
Not to believe anymore who we are,
Not to recognise anymore themselves,
Until the point to not distinguish,
The live, from the die.

We are conscious of what we see,
What we listen, continuously;
Undaunted, we proceed,
In a promised decline.

In the outline of a dry future,
We recognise ourselves, enthused;
In a dark path,
We leave our existences end,
Sure, of tomorrow's absence.
