EMVELOPE NINE - 'Melt Canal' CD (Split Femur Recordings)
(2007) 'Melt Canal' is a beautiful and haunting piece of work from Birmingham-based artist Alan Daly. Using guitar, pedals, synths and field recordings, the pieces seem to stay in one place, creating a sonic environment that allows the listener to furnish themselves. The album is reminiscent of Vladislav Delay, Fennesz and Tim Hecker, but still manages to hold as a piece of work on its own.

PLANIVAAR - 'The Yellow Square' CD (Split Femur Recordings)
Planivaar is the experimental side-project of Mark Lippett. This is the debut release for British label Split Femur Recordings, with artist and label both based in the West Midlands. This is a beautifully crafted record, created with soul and a passion for the quirky side of music. Spontaneity and chance elements blend with dreamy soundscapes created with guitar, synth and effects pedals. A heartfelt, warm, human piece of work, and very rewarding indeed.
