Venus Ex Machina's Lux & Doxa!

Hi everyone,

Two great albums from Nontokozo F. Sihwa, the composer and producer who makes music as Venus Ex Machina. From Factmag.com: "Trained as a mathematician, Sihwa explores themes of futurism, post-humanism and the phenomenology of radio-related communication through sonic precision, designing instruments, algorithms and oscillations that gesture towards and move through the Black musical traditions of techno, electro and experimental music. Conceiving of performance and her role as performer as a practice of storytelling, Sihwa understands sound as a language of emotion, a means of evocation and invocation. 'The place may be gone, yet you persist in seeking it, believing in the power of fantasy to redeem you from reason . . . A sweaty night underneath a motorway, somewhere. The end of summer. A refusal to give up.'" 

Just WOW.

Shpongle's Nothing Lasts... But Nothing Is Lost!

Hi everyone,

15 years on SpiritPlants Radio! Wowee-zowee! And touching on my first show back then, this new episode is devoted to Shpongle's brilliant 2005 album Nothing Lasts...But Nothing is Lost. If you ever wanted to start somewhere with electronic music, begin your path here. It will all make sense from thereon. 

Happy anniversary, SPR!

Múm's Yesterday Was Dramatic – Today Is OK!

Hi everyone,

Múm is an amazing Icelandic indietronic band! This, their 1999 debum album (plus some remixes and reinterpretations of the album's songs as bonus tracks), is just wonderfully amazing. A thing of music beauty. Just wow.

Actress's 88!

Hi everyone,

2020 album from Actress, self-released, a half-known gem, but what a gem it is! PopMatters called it a "Beautiful Mess of Snaps, Pops, and Glitches." Sounds right! :)
