Lambent is Akira from Japan, who now resides in Berlin, and contributes five tracks with not a beat in sight as electronic textures waft and interact, recalling anyone from 60s Terry Riley to further out European concrete tackle – here in a more tranquil mood but still with edgy undercurrents beneath the cerebral pulses.

Their trio of excursions establish uneasy calm stretches out of which poke odd belches from the radioactive swamp and disarming glitches. For anyone who’s interested in the outer limits of metal machine music.
