Maurizio Bianchi
A M.B. Lehn Tale

Small Voices SVR-04012

CD
£11.99


Unbearably beautiful new set of decomposed piano compositions from MB/Maurizio Bianchi, long one of the most defiantly uncategorisable post-Industrial European sound-thinkers. Parts of this disc are as elegiac and dissolved in celestial tone as William Basinski’s Disintegration Loops, while other, more heavily treated moments recall the flashing psychedelic form of early electronic masterpieces like Regel. “Dedicated to all the meditative people who is living in the environmental paradise.” Highest recommendation.

Maurizio Bianchi & TH26
Arkaeo Planum

Small Voices SVR-06018

CD
£11.99


New collaboration between Bianchi and obscure Italian Industrial cultists TH26 that focuses more on the rhythmic, hypnotic aspects of both their projects, coming off as sounding somewhere between Bianchi's recent piano-madrigals, Love's Secret Domain-era Coil and the tectonic collisions of early Kluster.
