Review: Preservation Bias by Linea Aspera
As many know the London-based synthpop/darkwave duo Linea Aspera was very shortlived, only lasting about two years. They released an 8-song self-titled album in 2012 (a masterpiece in my opinion), and after that we only got a few smaller releases, which showed that they still had good songs to offer.

Review: Sydney Valette - 'How Many Lives'
Sydney Valette’s How Many Lives LP was released as a ten-year anniversary album, celebrating a decade of his musical career. Since his early releases, French born Sydney Valette’s solo-project has progressed drastically in the past ten years - changing from the high-pitched chiptune style of 2009, into an evolved darkwave synth. Although some of those chipper synths still can be heard this latest release, there is a prevalent variation of sounds throughout the tracks; this release is surely not being constricted to a single style.
Lotus Feed - Sounds from a Silent Age
The album Sounds from a Silent Age by the band Lotus Feed is a very interesting piece for those who are familiar with the evolution of alternative music in the 80’s. This album explores a very specific period in Post Punk and Goth and seems to re-create in perfect detail that period where a branch of Post Punk was slowly giving birth to the first Goth / Wave sounds. We cannot put a a specific date to the birth of Goth but we can definitely place it during the interval between 1981 to 1983.
