    Massimo Pupillo – Our Forgotten Ancestors – Glacial Movements

    If there is beauty to be found in melancholy, it is found here. Yet this also feels that it’s about the yearning for connection. A contrast if you will. Lost and found. Like a sublime defiance. I’ve been reviewing an increasing amount of music not constructed around beats and formulas, I guess because it appeals…

  • Stefan Węgłowski – Smooth Inertia – Glacial Movements

    Reaching 50 is always an achievement. Reflecting this point are the immersive, moments sequenced by this album from Stefan Węgłowski who transports the mind of the listener from A to B while in-between times exploring shades of awareness around the soul. As with all of the music released by Glacial Movements the sounds propose thinking…

  • bvdub & Netherworld – Equilibrium – Glacial Movements

    The reflective beauty inherent in this music reaches a climax of highs just as it plunges into the further reaches of the essence lost to time like glaciers themselves. Self-defining, the search continues in earnest across four waves of sound forming initially around the rousing vocals on No Trees For Miles then explores the power…

  • John Sellekaers – Observer Effect – Glacial Movements

    Recapturing the search for moments of lost memory John Sellekaers’ brave expedition into unchartered territory serves as a reward for the depth of meaning.

  • CHIHEI HATAKEYAMA & DIRK SERRIES – Black Frost – Glacial Movements

    Four imaginations of sound occupy the space of Black Forest. A sometimes lonely existence that eloquently unfolds revealing a more open, rustic landscape. Drawing you in like a flame as embers disassociate and re-join lost memory in serene, almost spiritual ways. You get that strange sensation that in amongst all the intense waves of motion…

  • bvdub – Ten Times The World Lied LP – Glacial Movements

    Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub provides the antidote to the notion that Ambience is merely something that hangs around in the background, opening out space for thought. While these ever evolving envelopes of sound are unfolded they do adorn the airwaves with a sense of contemplative room to think, but they are far from passive…

  • MACHINEFABRIEK – Stillness Soundtracks II – Glacial Movements

    What’s left to say? Stillness Soundtracks the suggestion that there may be a whole left undiscovered, hinting at something beneath the surface that isn’t instantaneously recognisable. Rutger Zuydervelt’s journey into the remote landscapes of sound is far from a solitary one as the music, mysterious as it is, invites you into its imagination as expectations…

  • NETHERWORLD – Algida Bellezza LP – Glacial Movements

    To say that this is soul music would not be correct. However to say this is music for the soul would so obviously be right. Behind the alias is Alessandro Tedeschi who also founded Glacial Movements and this selection of musical landscapes delves deep into his psyche – I suspect yours too when you listen.…

  • FRAME – The Journey LP – Glacial Movements

    Processing the word FRAME together with a succession of recorded images was the original idea behind Eugenio Vatta and Andrea Benedetti’s sonic project which began in 1992. Since that beginning a wealth of material has been produced now reaching 2019 with this startling new collection of ten pieces set to be released on the excellent…
