Has anybody heard The Marcia Blaine School For Girls' Halfway Into the Woods yet? I think it's something that would fit in this thread. I'm intrigued by the descriptions and the couple of songs that I've heard from it.

In 2005, Highpoint Lowlife released the excellent debut album by Marcia Blaine member Ruaridh Law, under his Village Orchestra guise. Halfway Into The Woods shares with Law's cut a flair for beautiful melodic themes wrapped in lush electronic soundscapes, layered over crisp rhythmic pattern. The Marcia Blaine crew however expand on the gentle psychedelic tones and create elegant shimmering pieces which appear to continuously blossom and morph. Right from the outset, the collective set the tone by progressively building The Secret Of The Mezzanine from an ethereal wave into an ever changing series of colourful sonic patterns. From there on, nothing comes to disturb the Marcia Blaine purpose as they progressively close the door on reality and unveil their fantastic dream world. All the way through, the tone alternates between moody pieces (Boris, Last Game Of Mercy, Pink Inside) and mesmerizing intricate compositions (Rude Mechanical, Last Game Of The Mercy, Qoelet). Elsewhere, MBSFG dip their feet into surprisingly pop territory when they incorporate vocals into their dense electronic structures on the effervescent Still and Yugo Or Iago.

On Milk And Honey, the trio swap light ethereal formations for darker, more chilling textures, concluding this album on a surprisingly unsettling and sombre note, yet, while the atmosphere becomes more oppressive, there is always in the distance a glimmer of light which guides the listener gently back to the real world.

As a teaser to this album, the band have made available a companion remix EP, free to download from the Highpoint Lowlife website, with contributions from Maps & Diagram, Izu, Dextro, Talve or Erstaub amongst others, each artist providing a different twist on the originals. While some choose to remain close to the Marcia Blaine sonic template, Izu, Erstaub, Dextro and Orphax turn the collective sound upside down and rampage freely through their delicate structures, throwing harsh electronics, electric guitars and isolationist forms against the trio’s graceful electronics.

With Halfway Into The Woods, The Marcia Blaine School For Girls finally deliver the fine collection of atmospheric electronica they have been promising for years. While the beautiful soundscapes and melodies deployed here will undoubtedly please those who fell in love with The Village Orchestra, the wider scope of this record, together with its consistency, is likely to gain the trio a whole new fan base.

Having already put out a stack of releases via labels like Static Caravan, Benbecula, Awkward Silence and Expanding, this Glaswegian electronica trio have finally got round to putting together a full-length album. The opening beat trickery of ‘The Secret of the Mezzanine’ sets the standard for this album: it’s the kind of classy, deftly produced electronica that’s getting harder and harder to find nowadays. Clearly taking their cues from mid-period Autechre and the kind of deeply melodic programming you’d hear from Arovane, tracks like ‘Boris’ and ‘Still’ represent a distillation of IDM’s finest moments. The fluttering complexity of ‘Pink Inside’ is something to behold too. A bitcrushed harp sound provides a core around which fragments of skittering digital debris orbit. Halfway Into The Woods is crunching electronica of the highest order.

does "bliss" comes off as "saw 85-92" to anyone? i'm getting that feel from the first half of that album

Yeah, I grabbed that Efdemin yesterday but haven't had a chance to listen yet. I'm excited about it - I've loved almost everything he's done and hell, most everything on the Dial label is great.

Excited about this. Might get round to listening to it after I've finished watching England embarrass themselves against Andorra.

I had the pleasure of listening to this for the first time last night, driving across a black and neon London whilst all the good boys and girls were tucked up in bed. La Ratafia and Acid Bells just seeped in through my pores..despite my glass and metal cocoon I seemed to be in intimate communion with the city ......admittedly I had been on it all night and I was rolling pretty hard.

Ill give it another spin later today and see how it stands up in the sober light.

So I listened to this while doing the dishes and getting the kids ready in the morning and it still sounded really good. I love how some of the small techno labels have their own sound - this is pretty recognisably on Dial. For me, it falls between the moody downtempo stuff that Lawrence does and the more epic and gloriously melodic side Pantha du Prince showcased on This Bliss.
