Greyscale's 29th full length release is here for you to soak up. 'Anchorage' is the name of personal journey of survival for the new to Greyscale artist 'Phases of Gravity'. An audio scrapbook or audible journal of a special challenging time that they recount where when this Hungarian artist conducts and orchestrates their 'rebirth'. The sounds are stripped down to their primal essence like you hear in the title track. 'Coast Lining' adds the uncertainty and drama that provides a tense soundtrack to the inner journey. There are plenty of atmospheric and odd sounds to get lost in along the way like in the unsettling but highly addictive broken sound of 'Inhabiting the Forest'. A track that seems to be out of key off kilter but uniquely ties to an ancient dub sound that is all too familiar for the old skool heads - roots dub. Many of the rhythms are heavily tribal like in 'The Variety of Experience'. Deeply organic and ancient, they strike a core with all of our past roots. Other tracks take on a heavy human emotion of life like in 'Thickness of Soil' which is one of our early favorite's here at Greyscale. The vibe is eerie and thick with drone undertones. Yet, a strange funk seeps out to lead the track out safely to a close. Late in the album, 'Pathfinder' seems to us, the turning point in the album where optimism has finally taken root in the struggle of life that the author produces. Building blocks have an industrial sound while the atmosphere fills up the soundscape like a breath of fresh air. The artist isn't fully out of the woods yet as 'Wind-bound' takes on a fight or flight motif leading to 'Flutter' which leaves you still uncertain of the future. Phases of Gravity presents a striking album of tracks here that support a real-life dramatic story. And it succeeds at it brilliantly. Available on CD or digitally.

Dance on the roof

The Globeflower Masters Vol. 2 is the slightly edgier and more grown-up sequel to Mark and Glenn's 2021 debut album. For this excursion, the Brighton-based duo wanted to lean a little further into their European film soundtrack influences, with inspiration mined from the works of Stefano Torossi, David Shire, and Roger Webb. This expansion of their sound builds upon the rich tapestry of cinematic funk à la David Axelrod, Serge Gainsbourg and Morricone that fashioned Vol. 1.

The Deluxe Edition of the album features five new tracks, comprising two new original recordings, a piano solo version of the closing track from the original album, and two remixes from Project Gemini and Andres y Xavi.

‘Shaded By Your Side’ takes things right back to the moody, dark and Axelrod-inflected sound of their first album. Much of this track was played in single takes to try and retain as much of the urgency and spontaneity as possible. 

‘Return to Salvador’ is described by the duo as if “Shuggie Otis and Marcos Valle have one too many caipirinhas and decide to visit outer space”. It fuses together Mark's space sounds and floaty pianos with Spanish guitar and busy, melodic bass creating a musical trip from the grounded and earthy sounds of Vol.1’ to the more upwards-looking and musically diverse sound of Vol.2.

The remixes give a different flavour to the release, but both pay homage to the original recordings. Sharing a mutual admiration for each other’s work, it seemed like a natural choice to ask Project Gemini to contribute. Here is what he had to say about his rework, “I’m a big fan of both volumes of Mark and Glenn’s ‘Globeflower’ LP’s and it was a huge honour to get a chance to rework one of my favourite tunes from Vol.2. There are many great layers to ‘A Voyage North’ so it was a lot of fun to choose my favourite elements, then put some Project Gemini flavours and sounds into the mix and create something new whilst hopefully keeping some of the spirit of the original track. A darker, fuzzier take on the album version”.

When Glenn first passed the original album to Steve KIW, his collaborator in Balearic production outfit Andres y Xavi, this was one of two tracks which he picked out as having some particularly Balearic DNA. As such, pushing this concept to its logical conclusion seemed like the obvious thing to do. There’s a shaded sunset sound paired with a 4/4 beat of Latin-leaning.

On Therapy, his gripping third collection for Imprec, Alexandre Bazin creates concise melodic electro-acoustic environments with ripping timbres, deep staccato sequences and a dramatic immediacy. Elements of classical, minimal techno, modular-ambient and drone music permeate this aptly titled album, Therapy, from Alexandre Bazin.

Bazin himself describes this album as "new experimental electronic music." Melodic progression, pulse and timbre play key roles in his delicately crafted work. Saturation and feedback permeate the sonic atmosphere allowing new fragments to emerge creating new melodies and tonal colors.

Bazin's sound suggests the presence of electric guitars, orchestras and acoustic instruments which are also present on this album. All but the first two tracks of therapy include acoustic instruments carefully placed in the mix.
