Hardwicke Circus - Carlisle City Council - https://carlislecitycouncil.bandcamp.com/album/hardwicke-circus
The Lanes Re-development - Carlisle City Council - https://carlislecitycouncil.bandcamp.com/album/the-lanes-re-development - A new project from Jonathan Sharp of the Heartwood Institute. Seemingly straight sounding syntheised corporate library music from the 70s and 80s. It would seem to tread the same concrete path as Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan but knowing Sharp's Heartwood output, there's something more elemental to it.
Dwell Time - Xqui & Dogs Versus Shadows - https://subexoticrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dwell-time I've only just come across Subexotic and I'm having a look through their catalogue and wondering why I haven't before. This one is warped muzak for abandoned shopping malls.
Solstice 24 - Various - https://subexoticrecords.bandcamp.com/album/solstice-24 <- recent compilation from the above label, with a pretty diverse collection of tracks from a number of the usual suspects of the UK electronic scene. They have a subscribers club on Bandcamp which I think I might have to give a go.
