Soma – The Winged Measurer (Digital/Vinyl EP – Ant-Zen)
More than 20 years after their last release, the Australian duo Soma has returned with a long-lost gem. David Thrussell and Pieter Bourke created these tracks around the turn of the century, but until now, the record had only been available in their home country. This album immerses the listener in a dreamy, Cinematic soundscape that gradually evolves into an enchanting fusion of Eastern atmospheres, featuring sitar sounds mixed with astral, Electro, tones and slow, hypnotic rhythms. The inclusion of spoken word elements adds an accessible and mysterious layer, enhancing the album’s allure. The result is a captivating listening experience that feels both timeless and evocative. (Rating:7½).

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
