Peter Richard Heselton There is a certain beauty that reflects upon ages gone. There is an uncertain beauty in reflecting upon the chaos of the new. There is true beauty in accepting what we have, what we were and how we can be. It is the magick of social acknowledgment and the movement beyond the self .it is a little slice of human in a hedge fund world. Favorite track: Counting Goats.

Tichounko I keep returning to this album not only because of its perfect cover art but because of its atmosphere. It reminds me of The Caretaker albums but that’s only because of both the artists’ choice of source material. Hymns is a unique, haunting, nostalgic, beautiful ambient folklore art album that feels like a message from ghosts – Welsh ones for that matter. If only the creators of the old 78 record could hear what an artist in the 21st century was able to do with those recordings! Favorite track: Flood.

about

Here's another dive into the past through the lens of the present.

I have no religion myself but grew up with the music, it's nostalgia, fear and joy all at the same time I hope.

"Bears comparison to dons of loops and fuzz, William Basinski and Philip Jeck"
-- The Quietus

"Like a collage of ghosts from the beautiful past."
