Rupert Lally : Multitudes

Swiss-based, UK-born composer Rupert Lally seems to be able to do anything. Now an established author, Lally has been putting out thoughtful and engaging electronic music for some time. I personally discovered him with his releases via the great UK electronic label Spun Out Of Control. Albums like The Prospect, Where The Dark Speaks, Maniac’s […]

Long Story Short : Burial Grid, Rupert Lally, Hawksmoor, Camp Of Wolves

It’s been quite the year for music, hasn’t it? There hasn’t been a shortage of great albums to hit my ears, which only makes the year-end that much harder. The favorite lists are a labor of love, at least to me. It’s a time to go back and revisit what I’ve heard and then narrow […]

Rupert And Ray : Rupert Lally Scores Ray Bradbury

But when he’s pulling inspiration from the […]

The Sounds Of Fall : Albums To Summon The Darkness Part III

Well this has been fun, hasn’t it? Revisiting these albums in the midst of fall and overcast skies puts a whole new perspective on the sounds embedded on these records. Sadly, we’ve reached the end. But fear not, for at the end of this black rainbow you’ll find a playlist that you can take with […]

Rupert Lally : Where The Dark Speaks

When I was a kid Stephen King was a huge part of my adolescence. I had a King library at my disposal located in my mom and dad’s closet. Tucked away in the top shelf next to dad’s dress shoes and boxes of ancient Polaroids and Instamatic photos was a collection of tattered old paperbacks. […]
