Ahead of the full album, Eno has shared the music video for a lead single titled “There Were Bells.” He recorded it while preparing for a 2021 performance at the Acropolis in Athens, including a somewhat rare vocal delivery.

“Garden Of Stars,” which Eno performed at the same event, will also appear on FOREVERANDEVERNOMORE.

According to a press release, anxieties around climate change inspired Eno’s 22nd solo album. “Like everybody else — except, apparently, most of the governments of the world — I’ve been thinking about our narrowing, precarious future, and this music grew out of those thoughts,” he said. “Perhaps it’s more accurate to say I’ve been feeling about it…and the music grew out of the feelings.”

“Those of us who share those feelings are aware that the world is changing at a super-rapid rate, and that large parts of it are disappearing forever…hence the album title,” Eno continues. “These aren’t propaganda songs to tell you what to believe and how to act. Instead they’re my own exploration of my own feelings.”

Improvisation on Four Sequences at Festival Antigel was recorded in January 2020 when Ciani performed on a quadrophonic sound system at the Geneva, Switzerland event. She played on her trademark Buchla 200e synth as well as the Animoog iPad app.

“I didn’t know at the time that concert touring would disappear and that a pandemic would suddenly end my live Buchla performance era that had had a resurgence in 2016,” reads Ciani’s description. “For those years, I flew around the world, toting my Buchla 200e in checked baggage and prayed that it would survive the trip: Melbourne, Tokyo, London, Santiago, New York and on and on until this year when the world changed.”

Included with the album is a hardware decoder allowing playback of the quadrophonic vinyl. Ciani acknowledges that it may not be enough for everyday fans to enjoy the release, so it’s also available in 5.1, stereo and ambisonic formats – all at 44.1 and 88.2 kHz.

Improvisation on Four Sequences at Festival Antigel is available for purchase in digital format via Suzanne Ciani Bandcamp. Pre-order the quadrophonic vinyl album via Rush Hour.

Paterson and Le Gonidec have shared the single “Whippersnapper” ahead of the release. Full of hardware sounds, it goes heavier on techno than industrial with novel changes and no vocals. If the lead single serves as any indicator, the OSS sound will live in a lane of its own.

Paterson launched The Orb alongside Jimmy Cauty of The KLF in 1988. The Orb’s 1991 debut album, The Orb’s Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld, served as the blueprint for their signature ambient house sound. They followed it up with their most commercially successful effort, U.F.Orb, the following year.

Prior to that, Paterson and Le Gonidic roadied for English rock band Killing Joke. As noted by Mixmag, Le Gonidic went on to perform with The Orb in addition to contributing to releases like FFWD, Orbus Terrarum, Bicycles & Tricycles, Orblivion, and Orbsessions Volume 1.

“The Immersion Zone is a 24/7 streaming sanctuary of deep sonic submersions and infinitely evolving visual apparitions,” according to the YouTube description. It was adapted from the Immersion Station apps, continuous ambient mix players which Roach released between 2010-2015 in collaboration with programmer Eric Freeman.

“The Immersion Zone will stream 24/7/365 ongoing and continue to evolve with extended sonic and visual zones unique to this site,” the description goes on. “Nourish your own realms as the space we are offering is created to inspire a deeper reconnection to the inner core and support meditations upon the edge forever…”

Steve Roach Revisited

Steve Roach’s involvement in early electronic music extends all the way back to the ’70s. Inspired by the likes of Tangerine Dream and Vangelis, he delivered his debut album, Now, in 1982. He followed it up by inaugurating the Quiet Music series in 1986 and perhaps his most celebrated work, Dreamtime Return in 1988.

By another metric, however, the high point of Roach’s career has arrived more recently. His almost entirely analogue synth-based 2017 album, Spiral Revelation, was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of “Best New Age Album” the following year.

More information is available on the official Steve Roach website.

The release follows January’s Solid State Logic 1 compilation, the long defunct duo’s first appearance on streaming platforms since they disbanded 29 years prior. Gone are samples by the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Van Halen, Elvis Presley and Boy George. In their place are “Evil Graham Lee on the pedal steel guitar, the Unknown Tuvan Shepherd on throat singing and the Reverend Doctor Wade on spiritual guidance,” according to a dubious description on their website.

Who Were The KLF?

The KLF (comprised of Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty) and were not only musicians virtually synonymous with the U.K. acid house era, they were also a veritable force of situationist performance art. Outside of songs interwoven with multigenerational pop music samples, they carried out stunts like firing blanks from machine guns at the 1992 BRIT Awards and burning £1 million on the Scottish island of Jura in 1994.

With their music reappearing as of late, so too has their absurdist art. A week after the release of Solid State Logic 1, Drummond and Cauty shared a documentary titled Welcome to the Dark Ages chronicling their quest to build a pyramid out of bricks containing cremated human remains.

Come Down Dawn is the second installment of a five-part series called SAMPLECITY THRU TRANCECENTRAL, according to The KLF’s website. The remaining releases will go by the titles Kick Out The JAMs, Pure Trance Series and Moody Boys Selection.
