Ended Wednesday and started Thursday after my swim with Mount Carmel by M Grig aka Mike Grigoni, released on 12k in 2019.

...Durham, NC's M. Grig (Michael Grigoni, who comes from the Pacific Northwest originally) has produced a stunning followup. Featuring voice, field recordings and dobro as well as lap steel, pedal steel and acoustic guitar, Mount Carmel is arguably the better of the two albums.

Mono Junk (aka Kim Rapatti) - Mainio (Dum Records/Cold Blow, 1999/23 January 2025).

Never re-released before, previously out on the compilation ".aiff" on New York's 12k label (founded by Taylor Deupree).

"'Mainio' stands as a quintessential representation of the Finnish techno sound—its stark, icy tones intricately woven into looping, hypnotic patterns."
