On Repeat: Algorithmic, Aphex, EMF

On Sundays I try to at least quickly note some of my favorite listening from the week prior — things I would later regret having not written about in more depth, so better to share here briefly than not at all.

▰ Aphex Twin posted a pair of versions of a new track, “Zahl am1,” to his SoundCloud account. Longtime listeners will appreciate familiar sounds.

▰ An album from Steve Hamman of EMF (electromagnetic field) sonic explorations, We Are Bodies of Light, walks cautiously between the poles of gentle and caustic.
