"Highs from Low Point" (feature)
In this post-everything age, it’s hard to hear anything shatteringly new 
in the experimental ambient universe, even at the most Out-there reaches 
of the dronosphere. Yet there's still much to be savoured in the glut of 
well wrought music in this vein, among which may be numbered recent 
highs from Nottingham's Low Point.

"Yapang Marruma Soundscape - Rod Smith" (feature)
On February 12th 2008 the Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd made an 
apology to the 'Indigenous peoples of this land, the oldest continuing 
cultures in human history' for the 'mistreatment of those who were 
Stolen Generations [...] for the laws and policies of successive 
parliaments and governments that have inflicted profound grief, 
suffering and loss [...] 'for the indignity and degradation thus 
inflicted on a proud people and a proud culture. (excerpt).

"Echoes of Syros by Dempster, Heasley & Rieman" (review)
Stuart Dempster and Tom Heasley have successfully expanded the 
capabilities of low brass instruments, once relegated to the back of the 
band. Together with keyboard player Erik Glick Rieman, they present a 
series of improvisations that exceed the boundaries of their previous 
work and highlight potential future explorations.

"Peaceful Protest - Sade Sade" (review)
“D” Yellow Swans called it quits April 2008. In their 9 years together, 
this psych/noise duo consisting of Pete Swanson and Gabriel Mindle 
Saloman (GMS) recorded over 50 releases, toured extensively around the 
World, and co-ran the Collective JYRK label/art collective. Gabriel 
ended up moving to Vancouver, BC to start a new label called Diadem 
Discogs with his wife and music collaborator Aja Rose.

"The sincerest form of derivation" (review)
Remora's Derivative is a guitar ambient album with a more aggressive 
edge than other drone guitar groups like Stars of the Lid or Mirror, 
retaining enough skronk to remove any artificial polish and give the 
work the immediacy of a laid-back live performance in his living room, 
and enough melodicism to prevent the work from becoming a noise fest.
