sustain-release.co.uk: "Hypnotic, tidal blues. Memories of spiralling currents, driftwood and undertow. Fragments of acoustic guitar and piano swept along in choking streams of violin. Lost in shimmering waves of distortion and turbulent percussion." Download here

swr.de: "In den Klanginstallationen der neuseeländischen Künstlerin Annea Lockwood ist die Natur ihr wichtigstes Instrument. Im Stadthaus in Ulm kann man zur Zeit ihre "Sound Map of the Danube" erleben. Dafür hat sie acht Donauländer bereist und die Klänge der Donau aufgenommen. Von der Quelle bis zur Mündung. Ihre akustische Flusskarte sprudelt, gluckert, rauscht und Menschen spielen auch eine Rolle." Anhören
Out of Cold Storage is a box set containing evera release of This Heat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "This Heat were a British progressive rock band widely considered a missing link between progressive rock (especially krautrock) and such later experimental genres as post-punk, post-rock, and noise rock. [...] Their music touched on numerous different styles and genres, but was always confrontational and politically charged.
Their first radio airplay came from, unsurprisingly, legendary DJ John Peel, to whom they sent a demo tape (recorded in a disused meat factory) in early 1977." Read on
BBC collective: "This sixth album is strong on sludge-heavy melodic grind with acoustic sensibilities poking through, marrying the heavy and the light." More
razmesinai.com: "Raz Mesinai was born in Jerusalem in 1973. His first two decades were spent in frequent transit between Jerusalem and New York City, where he became immersed in both the worlds of traditional Middle Eastern music, and the dub and hip-hop scenes of the eighties and early nineties in New York City. He became involved in the avant-garde, downtown music scene of New York City, performing, improvising, and leading his own ensembles on percussion, piano and sampler.
Mesinai's electronic and electro-acoustic music exists at the crossroads of composition, sound design and modern studio production. His acclaimed recordings under the moniker Badawi, and as one half of the seminal duo Sub Dub (with John Ward), are difficult to classify, but have been called hybrid electronica/dub/percussion/avant-garde compositions. Since 1999, Mesinai has been releasing music under his own name as well, including three releases on John Zorn's "Tzadik" label"
lovely.com: "ANNEA LOCKWOOD is a native of New Zealand, but studied instrumental composition and electronic music in England, Germany and Holland, before settling in the United States, where she now teaches composition and electronic music at Vassar College in upstate New York. She has been known for her explorations into the rich and spontaneous world of natural acoustic sounds, in pieces such as Glass Concert and Piano Transplants, as well as her compositions for the recorded sound of rivers and other environments in works such as A Sound Map of the Hudson River and World Rhythms."
wfmu.org: ""As the center of Current 93 and as a very frequent contributor to Steven Stapleton's Nurse With Wound, David Michael Tibet has defined himself as one of the most enigmatic figures to grace England's modern day experimental music, art and literature scenes. Starting in 1985, C93 emerged from the movement that put wind in the sails of peers like Coil and Psychic TV, but has evolved on its own over the years to a much more emotional song-based tradition while Tibet still continues to be a master of apocalyptic imagery."
