Norken is one of the many pseudonyms of Lee Norris, a producer who is considered by those in the know as one of the unsung heroes of UK electronica, with a slew of releases throughout the years as Man-Q-Neon, Nacht Plank, Norken, Tone Language and Metamatics. Nearly two decades after it was first released, Norken’s sleek cult classic album ‘Our Memories Of Winter’ has been reissued on vinyl via Hydrogen Dukebox. DMCWorld goes Back To Mine With Norken.
Rainer Brüninghaus – Freigeweht
Landmark ECM album hands down with what you expect. Lots of space between Bruners Wheeler and Christiansen’s performances.
Ernest Hood – Neighborhoods
Warm and sunny morning with memoirs childhood. Hauntingly beautiful and intimate, the warmth of the city and childhood excellently captured through synthesizers, field recordings, zithers, and a pallet of sounds weaving an intricate tapestry of musical exhilaration.
Ennio Morricone – 4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio
The biggest composer of film has left us. But his music is absolutely immortal.
Nala Sinephro – Endlessness
I have not bought a record on Warp for years. This is simply stunning if you like contemporary jazz. I like it so much I bought her other album too!
Eberhard Weber – Later That Evening
Yes, this is the last music I’d like to listen to before I die / after everything is over. Beautiful stuff.
David Parsons – Tibetan Plateau
A guilty pleasure. New age with a twist. Some nice filtered Moog stuff going on. Good for reading books on climbing Mount Everest.

Enno Velthuys – Ontmoeting
He was some sort of anti-social introverted(what little info is out there on him) Dutch musician and put some very nice ambient tapes out in the 1980s and forgotten about. I bought everything he has made.
Howard Shore – Videodrome
This is his only purely synthesized score, and it’s great. Like the film it is disturbing and extremely dark and minimal.
Throbbing Gristle – Second Annual Report
Is this supposed to be music? These people are the wreckers of civilisation!
Goblin – Buio Omega
Disturbing movie but the soundtrack is pure funk from Italy’s best prog rockers Goblin.
Norken ‘Our Memories Of Winter’ album is out now on Hydrogen Jukebox.
