Review: Inspired by Sun Ra and Philip K Dick, Lost Souls of Saturn is the vehicle for Seth Troxler and Phil Moffa's more esoteric dance floor musings. These tracks, taken from their debut album from earlier this year - and in some instances here in extended form - show just how far down the rabbit hole the duo go. "Divine Plane (M?ditation Des Enfants)" is a dreamy, wispy affair, with cosmic meandering unravelling over a tight rhythm, while on "Lunarvision", rain forest warbles accompany deeper sound scapes. While the extended take on "Lost Souls of Saturn" is a more grimy affair, led by gurgling acid, tripped out discordance and scuffled beats, the late night sax squalls of "Midnight Karma" shows that this is a proper out-there project.

Review: Lost Souls Of Saturn - the unlikely pairing of Seth Troxler and Phil Moffa - are preparing their debut album for release in June for R&S. They're searching for signs from another dimension and channelling this into a higher consciousness, stating that inspiration came from a broad range of subjects not limited to art, film, literature and the esoteric - through to science and even sci-fi. This is all merged into an inextricably linked whole, wrapped-up in a philosophy of their own making. All these facets certainly do make their way into the dense minimal journey that is "Holes In The Holoverse", followed by the tripped-out deep techno of "World Of The Wars" which is followed up by a remix of Turner prize winning artist and photographer Wolfgang Tillmans.
Review: The Sprechen label's inaugural album release takes listeners on a captivating journey through the celestial realms of electronica and the vibrant, neon-lit streets of South Manchester. "Where Do I Belong?" marks the debut long player by The Thief Of Time, a new studio endeavour from Sprechen founder Chris Massey. Drawing inspiration from a life steeped in clubs, comic books, cult movies, and cosmic adventures, the album weaves a semi-autobiographical narrative through a tapestry of electronic artists and synth-heavy movie scores. Chris Massey's approach to the project is refreshingly unbound, allowing loose ideas to evolve into a collection of songs that pays homage to diverse sonic influences, featuring contributions from Manchester artists like A Certain Ratio, Bay Bryan, Psychederek and NIIX to Love Letters From Space and Allison Rae from Causeway.
