Tyshawn Sorey & Marilyn Crispell - The Adornment of Time (Pi Recordings)
The final 20 minutes are sublime, as a delicate chordal figure develops into a passage of astonishing sensitivity and power. — Stewart Smith

Zonal - Wrecked (Relapse)
This collision of industrial noise and hiphop related poetics helped open the artistic door for Techno Animal’s 2001 album The Brotherhood Of The Bomb and now Wrecked – the latest from Martin and Broadrick’s long dormant Zonal project, which features a heavy vocal contribution from Moor Mother. — John Morrison

Olivier Messiaen / Linda Catlin Smith - Quatuor pour la fin du temps / Among the Tarnished Stars (Another Timbre)
Four members of Apartment House bring their cumulative insight and expertise as interpreters of experimental music to a performance that respects the intrinsic poise as well as the bold contrasts and occasional flamboyance of Messiaen’s score. By avoiding superfluous expressive artifice they allow this music to breathe. — Julian Cowley

The London Sound Survey - Thames (Persistence of Sound)
“Tower Bridge North Bascule Chamber” sounds like a vast music box, and the tune that it plays could well have been a new work by Varèse or Ligeti. The raw, harmonious swelling of engines is quite captivating, reminding us that machines are sequenced in their actions just like a musical composition – even the whining of its parts is in tune. — Ken Hollings
