"Dark side of the loop" is a debut EP of the duet Blue Hand. The band resides in the little town near Suwałki - Dowspuda. At the very beginning it should be pointed that it's a unique and original project introducing new sound to the Polish alternative electronic music scene. The...

[haven] - The Last Breath of Lonely Buildings

2005-11-28 / Vesper / Reads: 14119

First things first - this is not a record you can listen to while doing other things. I think it's meant for listeners able to get away from the 'here and now' for a little over 40 minutes. Although the first track is definitely mechanical and traces of this trance-like...
