Time: Sense, Space, Structure,

Nearly all art is created out of memory. On This Time and Space, Kit Watkins seems truly in tune with this idea. The seven tracks conjure up a hushed intimacy of whispered tones and heartrending synthscapes - aural recollections of tranquility, sacred bliss and the inner reflectivity of the mind. Watkins is renowned as a musician of both capacity and credentials, one with image matching substance. He often explores familiar themes yet consistently comes up with music that is more expansive than cliches…

" contains three classic musique concrète compositions from Michel Chion. All were produced at the GRM in Paris (the acousmatic headquarters of the world). The itself is an electronic take on the traditional form. is a ‘technical study’ which takes an original waltz theme and fragments it. is considered a ‘monodrama’ — that is, a drama centering around one ‘character.’ In this case what we hear are the detached reactions of this ‘character’ to a nightmare. It’s French, it’s acousmatic… what more could you ask for?"

The Athens, Georgia quintet Widespread Panic deserves the name Jam Band probably more than any of their fellow piers (Minus The Grateful Dead of course). They have toured non stop for practically eight-teen years. They have gotten through line up changes, tour cancelations, album flops, unpopularity and even death…

The instrumental, multimedia Montreal group Godspeed You! Black Emperor creates extended, repetition-oriented chamber rock. The minimal and patient builds-to-crescendo of the group's compositions results in a meditative and hypnotic listen that becomes almost narrative when combined with found-sound splices and the films of their visual collaborators. Collection includes: 'F#A#∞' (1998); 'Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada E.P.' (1999); 'Lift Yr. Skinny Fists Like Antennas To Heaven!' (2000) 2CD; 'Yanqui U.X.O.' (2002); 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!' (2012); 'Asunder, Sweet And Other Distress' (2015).

Pianist and composer Paul Bley has been making records now for more than 50 years. His solo recordings encompass a great deal of his generous catalog. Bley has studied so many different aspects of jazz, and improvisational music both American and European, that these recordings always offer a revealing, no-holds-barred glimpse of where he's at as a musician at any given time. About Time, released on the Montreal label Justin Time, contains just two pieces: the 33-plus-minute title track and the Sonny Rollins tune "Pent-Up House," which lasts another ten. They reveal the entire range of Bley's considerable gifts as a pianist and improviser.

Beyond Time Structure, the new album from the Polish artist Vanderson consists seven energetic songs between 6 and 13 minutes. Every song has all the time it needs to evolve to a very special and harmonic piece of Electronic Music. Gorgeous melodies, deep sound and an extremely well balance between melodic and hypnotic elements, make this album so wonderful. Vanderson is well known for harmonic tunes and his own style playing with simple but intelligent sequences. On Beyond Time Structure he adds an additional portion of rhythmic elements so this album became different from his so far known work. Some influences by modern electronic dance music are intended. Also the sound design is more modern without losing the spirit of his past releases.
