Wow, you caught up! That's impressive considering how many releases there were to cover

Whoa, this sounds great. What a treat! I never expected this collaboration. Looking at the credits, looks like Will White is on the track, Raid.

Mary Lattimore & Julianna Barwick just released a lovely cover of Rachel's Song. Really gets me into a My Kingdom mood

Interesting stuff. Now I have no idea what to expect from E8. Maybe we'll get a 3rd EP with some of the scrapped material?

Oof, that's a tough pill to swallow there. We all know 2012 is not releasing, heh.

Glad I got to tune in for this mix.
Loved the ambient intro piece. I agree with Imogen. It was really good. A lot of variation and melody in there.

Welcome! It is often quiet around here, but usually picks up with main EP or LP releases

Wasn't sure I had another EP in me. Here's 4 tracks from a videogame that fell apart.

I assume this is a bootleg remix sampling the dumb child of Q mix or something. I just stumbled upon it. It released yesterday:



modern dub techno remix of PNG.

I agree with your assessment, Imogen. I really liked Captures. Multiple Angle Distortions is fine, but no standouts for me. After a first listen, I'm still under the impression that this is a "Window into the Process" themed release, featuring some beats and sketches that will be reworked and ...

A rough 3d scan (gaussian splat) of a Nagra IV maybe - https://www.nagraaudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/1971-4-1920x1080.jpg


You're right, it does look like a rough 3d scan. That makes a little more sense. From the song names and album title it looks like the theme for this one is "Process ...

It's the sequel to the Captures EP. 9 tracks. Listed as pre 8 - 2 so 2nd in the Environments 8 series. While Captures was an EP, this looks like a mini album?
Not sure how I feel about the artwork though. It's, odd.

I picked up Murmuration Skies. It's nice! If you like Murmurations, you'll like this. It's different enough but still feels like Murmurations. Starts off very minimal and builds to a great percussion section towards the end.
