Dublin-based music producer/songwriter/and visual artist Dizmation reveals his mostly home-made new full-length album Sea Area Forecast. Be you into some DIY sadness, here is the 11-song album for you.

Space sounds and unintelligible voices get us into the opener “The Coniologist” of Oneo Fakind’s new album, The Start of Something. The tune opens up into some beat crazy arpeggio keys and snapping machine-led percussion, as colors of sounds slip in and out. Thankfully the softer (but with still enough arpeggio to make even the most ardent Tangerine Dream fan happy) helps us through the next song “Surfaces.” Even this early on, it’s evident that there is some deep thought behind the production of keys layering presented here by Matt Legge and Brett Cairns.

Nonviolenze Mirror is a solid singer-songwriter effort from Nonviolenze/Shri Baratan, a man with something to say.

This genre of music, whatever it is (certainly not 70’s prog, the genre from which I judge all other music) is not my cup-of- tea. But I’m damn impressed over the Triumph of Justice, and can’t recommend it enough.

Astralseid’s music is created in what is described by their press as an “earthen cabin, situated on an organic mountain-farm in Western Norway,” and these four of Shamanic Love do sound otherworldly and mostly disconnected from popular genre and commercialism. “Tribal Ambient” anyone?

Ernest Tulye Nsimbi Lupiazitta Zamba—has enjoyed a career spanning over a decade, has released super popular albums in his home country, and boasts over 50 music awards. As Founder of the Baboon Forest brand, GNL Zamba shares himself beyond the stage and studio creating global platforms and opportunities to empower local communities. He is also an advocate for the environment, filmmaker, and social entrepreneur.

Satire and silliness, tinged with pathos is not easy to manage, all in well-sounding tunes. Hadnot Creek does a great job of delivering all this and more on Hard World.

This noisy (in a great way) overdriven wacky musical making outfit is led by Gregory Jiritano. He and his players deliver a punk, space-rock, slightly Brechtian musical brew across these four.

Nick Campbell Destroys addresses our little worldwide COVID-19 hiccup on his new 3-song EP Lo-fi Bass Music for Quarantine. A well-respected electric bassist, Campbell found his live music-making as well as his in-studio work curtailed in the quarantine.

Here he offers a trio of tunes composed and recorded, mainly in his bedroom.
