Another Timbre passes its two hundredth release…
by John Eyles
As mentioned in a review of Jurg Frey's 2022 album Borderland Melodies, that was the two-hundredth release on Another Timbre, the Sheffield-based label set up by Simon Reynell in 2007. The label had released its hundredth album in 2016, so the second hundred were released over six years compared to the first one's nine years. In ...
Jürg Frey: Borderland Melodies
by John Eyles
Borderland Melodies is welcome for several reasons. Firstly, it is numbered “at200," indicating it is the landmark two-hundredth album issued by Another Timbre since its debut in the autumn 2007. As the label's hundredth album was released in 2016, it seems its rate of releasing albums is increasing (maybe a side effect of Covid?) Secondly, like ...

John Cage: Hymnkus, Thoreau Drawings, Two
by John Eyles
Another Timbre recordings featuring music by John Cage are into double figures and those featuring Apartment House now number thirty-something, so there was a certain inevitability about this album on which Apartment House perform three Cage pieces. It does not seem long since the label's box set of Apartment House playing some of Cage's number pieces ...
Terry Riley: Keyboard Studies
by John Eyles
For some devotees of Terry Riley and John Tilbury the initial reaction to this album may be one of concern for the well-being of the two protagonists, Riley the composer and Tilbury the keyboardist, friends since the late '60s. After all, the sum of their ages exceeds one-hundred-and-seventy-something, and the music here is full-on throughout the ...
