about

Engine Vein welcomes Megalithic Transport Network (also known as Martyn Stonehouse), to the Crooked Acres roster. Lushly dark drones, earthy ambience and stripped-back technoid pulsations all help evoke a troubled northern landscape, scarred and haunted by its complex history.

Drawing inspiration from the 18th and 19th century mining works at Alderley Edge in Cheshire, ‘Engine Vein’ explores themes of our industrial past and the myths surrounding the historical site itself, which has been worked since the early Bronze Age up until the 1900s. As well as the mines themselves, the area is full of intriguing features and is steeped in folklore, including the story of The Wizard, The Golden Stone and a Holy Well.

Written as live evolving pieces of electronic sound, each recorded using an AE Modular Synthesiser, Korg MS2000 and Yamaha R100 direct to tape, before being digitally transferred

The Phantomatic Coast
by Conflux Coldwell

Expertly arranged underwater ambient architecture, with the odd radar blip and the ghost of a melody occasionally poking through the sonic murk. Also avoids the tweeness that seems par for the course with many hauntological-labelled releases An extraordinarily good and satisfying album, highly recommended for fearless sound adventurers everywhere. kickingmachine
