With 'the true sound of total desolation' as its motto, the breadth of inspiring experimental music released by Type Records might come as a surprise. The label is run by John Twells a.k.a. Xela together with graphic designer Stefan Lewandowski, and the label's beautiful releases have been critic's and audience favourites for many years now.

Originally released in 1996 on Berlin's seminal Chain Reaction imprint, the duo of Thomas Köner and Andy Mellweg's first album became a bona-fide dub techno classic. Still sounding utterly incredible, Type's timely reissue shows how this kind of quality truly stands the test of time. Absolutely essential.

New Yorker Ezekiel Honig's latest album appears on Type, a hazy affair similar to his wonderful 'Surfaces of a Broken Marching Band'. An outstandingly beautiful fusion of delicate field recordings, gently processed acoustic instruments and distant, subtle beats that truly hits the spot. Brilliant.

Brad Rose takes a break from the noise-scapes of his main project, The North Sea, and gives us this exquisite album of fragile garage-electronica-pop, recorded together with his wife, Eden Hemming. 'Mechanical Gardens' is a beautiful work and an unexpected, yet welcome, departure.

Following up The Alps' previous album 'III' on Type, 'Le Voyage' is a lush slice of spaced-out ambient folk, combining acoustic guitars, sound collages and analogue synth experiments on an album as refreshing as a bowl of acid Kool Aid on a hot summer day. Recommended.

Inspired by Lancashire's West Pennine Moors, Richard Skelton has recorded 'Landings', a beautiful album of folk-infused neo-classical compositions, which was promptly snatched up by Birmingham's brilliant Type label. An album of ethereal beauty and one of our favourite discoveries of the year so far.
