Best of 2022 from Linus Booth (Seance Centre)

This is the last of the year end lists and its from my friend Linus. I have known him since 1992 or 1993...my memory gets a bit foggy. For like 15 years i spoke to him regularly on the phone but its only been in the past few years via social media that i know what he looks like! now it’s the reverse…no phone calls and all text. He was one of the salespeople at distribution company on the West Coast called Silent/Pulsesoniq. They were the distribution arm of Silent records who did lots of groundbreaking ambient music. you can read more about them below

Linus then opened his own record shop in Ottawa Canada called Organized Sound and record distribution company called Phonics. He currently works as Sales/P.R. at one of the great Canadian labels Seance Centre along with owner Brandon Hocura. It’s a well rounded list from someone who knows. Linus also gave us a bonus list of reissues. I hope you enjoy it and find a few new things for yourself.
