gorancabrajic Black Flower has crafted something truly unique—an album that combines intellectual depth with emotional resonance. Kinetic is a stunning celebration of cultural diversity, a journey through sound that’s both thought-provoking and deeply immersive.

sumbuk These guys never fail to impress, or delight the ear. Their sound is a unique blend of jazz, rock, and....and....otherness! :-)

rvss.eel More of the great, signature Black Flower sound. Kinetic opens big with a nine-minute track, starting strong but then really leveling up when the rhythm section takes lead a few minutes in. The second song boasts vocals and as chill as it is, it takes the energy even higher. It's almost too strong of a start for the rest of the album to follow, but even though it mellows a bit, it's full of great songs and vibes. This'll be a top played album for me this year - no surprise - as was their last. Favorite track: Kinetic.

13antlers lovely listening party last night! just realized that nathan daems and shabaka hutchings are brothers in a new vanguard, taking flute to the next level.

Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss The action packed mentalist brings you the fucking jams. Again. Favorite track: Woollen Fortune Viper.

radzilla1979 Glorious synths and funky driving beats. So glad I found this! Thanks Mr Scruff and Steve Coby for the recommendation. And thank you Paddy Steer for the fantastic music! Favorite track: You Win Tranquility Surform.

Jim Kartoffel-Kopf Had the pleasure of experiencing Mr Steer's incredible bonkers set at Supersonic festival this year - he didn't disappoint, and this album is as close to that as you can set down on vinyl. Favorite track: Seeedpod.

eldudowski voice like celestial judgement. that eternal drone underpinning. terrifying and beautiful.

Jason Power YES. Wendorlan!
The drummer must be on some hard Hiesenbee shit, or just really fit!🔊🙉 Favorite track: Duneray.

scopetag Squarepusher's signature sound cannot disappoint in the slightest with this magnificent comeback. Favorite track: Heliobat.

Nocturnal Egg (Jordan) Squarepusher a révélé l'existence de Dostrotime grâce à un single qu'il fallait passer dans un oscilloscope, un choix lourd de sens car c'est l'album tout entier qui suit le mouvement d'une vague et les "Arkteon" servent de transitions. C'est d'abord un raz-de-marée : l'IDM est euphorique, il croise breakcore et trance ("Wendorlan") avec des sonorités rock ("Enbound"). Il nous pousse dans le fossé partir de "Holorform" et c'est le chaos qui règne. Dostrotime, c'est la chronique d'un lunatique ! Favorite track: Stromcor.
