Eko_Fisk - New Promised Land - https://www.zenapolae.com/zen304 - New from veteran under the radar Staffordshire synthesist is four 9-10 minute ambient but rhythmic pieces that evoke coastal calm in the face of a darkening world.
Various - Aurora 2025: Passage - @auroramm@sonumu.club https://aurora-compilations.org/aurora-2025-passage/index.html: One of several annual free compilations from Aurora Compilations, a mix of styles from industrial to drum and bass to ambient to techno. There looks to be a community around the imprint and the compilations are all Creative Commons licenced and their site is a Faircamp, so they might be worth an exploration.
The Sisters of Mercy - First and Last and Always - https://www.discogs.com/master/2795-The-Sisters-Of-Mercy-First-And-Last-And-Always: It’s been pointed out that this LP is 40 years old, and I’ve been singing ‘Black Planet’ for some reason. This is the only LP that an actual band called the Sisters of Mercy made, and that band changed while the record was being recorded, finally imploding as they should have been celebrating its release. I was never a goth, I didn’t have the legs for it, but my copy lives in a frame on my study wall because it came at the right time, a stupid, melodramatic rock record that knew it was stupid and melodramatic, and that was how it should be.
