Autumn of Communion - Autumn of Communion 4

Artist: Anthony Lee Norris + Michael Gainford (Mick Chillage)
P: 2014

LTD 300
This 4th volume of the "Autumn of communion" series surely has at lot of magic, like 20 years ago many first fax releases had. However, this one sounds more refined and coherent as, say, "Silence 1" or the two "Dreamfish" releases. But surely AOC 4 draws a lot of the Namlook spirit, of which we should be grateful, and of course Steve Roach, and I still scent Klaus Schulze in the distance.

Be that as it may, this album has positive and at the same time melancholic feeling,like looking fondly backwards with no regrets, but ready to move forward. It has great ideas, a big flow, and even grandeur. A release to grace the memory of Pete Namlook.

I am curious how it will stand the test of time.

Mick Chillage - (M)Odes

Artist: Mick Chillage
P: 2016
LTD 300

Mick Chillage could very well be the hardest working man in electronica, taking the reins of that position from the late Pete Namlook. What is more startling about the seemingly large quantity of work available from him in the past few years (and upcoming as well) is the high level of quality control he maintains throughout; nary a note is ill-placed, misaligned, or wasted. Chillage’s working methods are efficient to say the least, exemplary to say the most; the consummate musician, he’s not one to sit still or allow his muse to stagnate, equally at home channelling any number of sub-genres, be it fleet electro or galvanizingly intense atmospherica.
His latest for Carpe Sonum after the wonderful Saudade release finds the erstwhile sonic frontiersman alternating a beautifully involving series of tracks that deftly straddle spheres both inner and outer. (M)odes paints Chillage as introspective, questing, soul-searching; the plaintive piano chords and twinkling synths of “Nico’s Gate” suggest ancient rituals of deep contemplation, a re-examining of spiritualism as much as a vault heavenwards across the stars. The paragon of beauty that is “Midnight Mist” illustrates precisely what Chillage does best, digging down into the circuitboards of his trusty synths to exact the revealing science of gods. It’s at once splendorous and awe-inspiring to behold, (M)odes of (in)alienation as gripping as they come.

Mick Chillage - Saudade

Artist: Mick Chillage
P: 2014
LTD 300
Saudade is defined as "the recollection of feelings, experiences, places or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, well-being, which now triggers the senses and makes one live again." While Mick Chillage has been creating some of today's most priceless upbeat but laid-back electronic music, he brings home the 'Chill' in his moniker with a deep and heavily submersive ambient opus that ventures fathoms away from his previous masterpiece "FAXology." With Saudade, he shares deep reflections that are as divine as they are unforgettable.

P: 2009 / 2014
LTD 500
This debut album from Mick Chillage is a collection of pieces created between 2005 & 2008. It blends ambient, electro, techno, dub & experimentalism to create a unique mixture of various moods, sometimes reaching epic wide screen scope.
Psychonavigation records presents the debut album from Mick Chillage. “Tales From The Igloo” is the result of almost 13 years of Mick Chillage experimenting with electronic sounds & structures while constantly redefining & perfecting his vision which draws from many influences, it also showcases an artist who is almost impossible to pigeon hole into any one specific genre. 
The album is a collection of pieces created between 2005 & 2008 which were carefully chosen to display Mick Chillage’s deeper, atmospheric & more emotional side. Mick blends Ambient, Electro, Techno, Dub & experimentalism to create a unique mixture of various moods, sometimes reaching epic wide screen scope. From the furthest outpost of distant galaxies on “Gateway Station” while returning to earth gracefully with the soulful electro blues of “Melting Emotion” to the disturbing dark environmental tones of “Disturbed Earth” & “Hypothermia”, this is a wonderful trip. The album concludes on a high with a beautiful remix of “The Final Storm” by ambient pioneer Pentatonik.

Mick Chillage - Two Days

Artist: Mick Chillage
P: 2021
LTD 150

Towards the end of 2019 I wrote & recorded Two Days part 1
at this point it was just titled "Two Days" as I had not intended to compose a second part. My initial idea was to perhaps to do a series of long form works which would be released in the digital format, providing the inspiration continued to flow. In early 2020 I released "Two Days Pt 1" on bandcamp only and the response and support seemed very positive.
A few more long form works happened from week to week and then the Covid Pandemic lock down arrived, I found myself out of work as many others did and my long form works seemed to be a nice antidote for many who now found themselves in a new and very uncertain routine.
Many people asked if I planned to release these works on CD, which I liked the possibility of, however due to the proficient output of my work I doubted that any labels could take it on, so I decided to launch my own label to release these works. The original "Two Days" clocks in at 40 minutes so I decided that I would return to the piece and re work it and include a second part to give my fans/followers something extra if they wish to purchase the CD and also to utilise the space on the format.Towards the end of 2019 I wrote & recorded Two Days part 1 at this point it was just titled "Two Days" as I had not intended to compose a second part.
