• Bone Machine Music from D’incise (MP3)

  
  Disquiet — Authority: 427

  Disquiet — Authority: 427

• Applying an Orchestra to the Logic of Techno (MP3)

  
  Disquiet — Authority: 427
  Some of the best music by Alan Morse Davies has involved taking pre-existing melodramatic audio recordings and rendering something new from them — something glacial and introspective.
