Cheltenham’s durable electronics duo, Longstone, enlist various local experimental luminaries in a suite of fizzy noise, with all profits to Japanese Tsunami relief charities. Clattering blips arrive, from Dusseldorf via Detroit, and bleed into becalmed woodwinds. Cautious melodic progressions emerge from shuddering systems of un-danceable beats.
Ice sheets of high end drones slide into the sea. Available digitally, Sakura also comes as a limited edition CD in a large card wallet, with numbered inserts and prints, demanding physical ownership. My copy included a hand-made origami frog, raising the bar for other musicians’ releases considerably.
