“Set The Weather Fair is wordless music, but a narrative remains. It reflects the swell at Sizewell beach on a cold January morning, the landscape of North-Eastern Slovenia, the hope in new beginnings and seeking perspective within the vastness of the night sky. It is a record about changeability, permanence and the importance of creating things, big and small, artistic and human.” Andrew Dobson
“The Dance’s Pattern is titled after a line from Auden. It reflects both the intricate unfolding of the polyrhythmic patterns in the tune but also the emotional corkscrew that the creative process often is. This was about Dom and I working around each other’s creative process, but more importantly how we felt about the act of creation which was vastly different and a complex emotional landscape to navigate.”
Against the backdrop of COVID-19 it seems to us that the only appropriate response we as Just Music & The Ambient Zone can make is to continue to let our music do the talking.

Marconi Union sit down to talk about the new album, Dead Air.
The new single from Marconi Union’s album ‘Dead Air’ ebbs and flows through layers of icy synths, warm bass tones and swirling electronics.
“We’ve made ten albums and have been going for 17 years, but it still feels fresh. That’s been so important for us all the way through. We’re looking to do new things all the time.”
We are delighted to share the news that Marconi Union’s new album, Dead Air, is to be released on 29th November 2019.
“Marconi Union remain a riveting voice in British electronic music…Playfully melancholic, it’s an immersive, cinematic track, one that plays with aspects of the ‘ambient’ while still exploring fresh, riveting creative pastures.” – Clash Magazine
This then is the human problem; there is a price to be paid for every increase in consciousness. We cannot be more sensitive to pleasure without being more sensitive to pain.
