Autist – Les Fleurs du Mal

French sound provocateur Autist delivers a daring exploration of the bleak, the beautiful, and the brutally honest. This release on Spirit of Progress captures Autist at his most uncompromising: “Chaotic Harmony” opens the EP with slow-burning, rhythmic noise mechanics – abrasive, obsessive, and physically demanding. It’s a confrontation of inner architecture, channeling themes of neurodiversity through sheer sonic repetition and tension. “You Lied to Me” then turns inward, a ghostly soundscape scarred by acidic pulses. Space carved out not for comfort, but for dissection. Finally, the title track “Les Fleurs du Mal” fuses both extremes: a grey zone where pain meets clarity, where acid corrodes and rhythmic echoes haunt the space in between

Maui Pentocosto – Delirious

Oh nostalgia – hard to believe, it’s been 22 years since Maurice Pinkster, man of many names and trades, introduced his Maui Pentocosto moniker – and with it kicked off the Spirit of Progress label, which has since been a steady source of class techno entertainment, distinctly different from his otherwise industrial enterprises.

So here’s the biz: Two hard techno tracks, very much of the present, with the energetic “Dagobah” referencing the quirks of everyone’s favourite science fiction character Yoda. Meanwhile, 'Grass' surprises listeners with its unlikely connections, blending melodic arpeggios with firm beats to create a truly mesmerizing experience.
Essentially: Delirious!
