Machines for Collective Living is Bouvetøyas sixth album at SynGate Records.
“Maybe this world is another planet’s hell” – Aldous Huxley
With his album "Machines for Collective Living" Michael Jones aka Bouvetøya from Ireland faces the current technical development of this decade, though in highly melodic references through synthesizer-tunes full of character. The album spans a great and calm suspense and invites to dive into flowing soundcarpets. Maybe a request, to create such spaces against the rush and haste of the world to face the mechanisation with serenity?
Francis Beaubois from Radio Mercure (France): "Bouvetøya ... has succeeded at capturing the soul of the electronic music of the seventies. The shadows of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze are floating upon this masterpiece !"

Jasper Ewing brings all manner of electronic equipment to his bright, jittery songs, resulting in tiny, sparkling melodic wonders. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2022
Mysterious and vaguely vaporwavey, the synth songs on the latest from Stefan Smith hover like distant mirages, opaque and beguiling. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 26, 2022
