Review: Community minded eclecticists Neighbourhood continue their unifying work with the latest boundary-bender from label co-boss Birke TM. With each cut sitting in a different tempo territory, he paints a vivid picture. 'I Dream Of Jeannie' is a mid-paced 160 jungle breeze while 'Eden' is a classic atmospheric two-stepper that wouldn't have gone amiss on GLR back in the day. Flip for a tempo dip as both cuts on the B smoulder with slow beauty. 'Sanctuary' hits like a cosmic UR escapade while 'Never Lose Touch' bids us an emotional and heartfelt 150BPM farewell. Visionary.

Review: Neighbour Recordings release an intriguing and arresting new ambient dub record from lifer Quantec. Journey Of Mind is a thrumming, swelling, electric record, seeming to grasp at those rumoured-to-exist, deep-seated fields of electromagnetism extant below our everyday sensorial antennae. In the label's own words, Quantec's approach is all about the D (deep) and titles such as 'Depth Of Immersion', 'Atmospheric Noise' and 'The Unknown' should tell you all you need to know before you even so much as lift a tonearm; this is a potent psychic aid for self-reflection indeed, our favourite among the tracks on which has to be the synaptic gut-tugger, 'The Mystic Moon'.
