Jeff Witscher (rene hell) has been around for some time now, collaborating with Night People, Yellow Swans... The terminal symphony is his latest album and certainly his most accomplished piece of work. A really beautiful electronic and haunting album which would open the doors of a new world. It 's out now through Type records.

cfcf: the river




I completely miss this ep when it was released on rvng intl. I only knew CFCF for a Games' remix and saw the name on other ones. Beautiful artwork (design by Kevin O'Neill of Will Work For Good) , beautiful music. Electronic with a lot of soul, cosmic energy and melancholy.
