"3° Colder is an ensemble film boasting an excellent German cast. The film tells of a group of friends who are connected in a complex network of interwoven relationships. Their typically unexpressed feelings surface through facial expressions, the film's cinematography and particularly through the intuitive sensitivity of its film music. The composers Corker & Conboy thoroughly succeeded in reaching the goal that they and the director had envisioned at the beginning of their collaboration: If the film were to be a picture, then the music would have to be the room in which it hangs. In 3° Colder, the music often replaces the word -- Corker & Conboy succeeded with their soundtrack in exposing exactly those feelings that the film's characters attempt to conceal. As a result, their music has a compelling effect that works beyond the film as well."

"The ever-prolific Adrian Corker and Paul Conboy return with Six For Five. Featuring two brand new tracks and three remarkable Radiant Idiot remixes; this is an EP that captures a band nearing its creative peak, happy, willing and able to open its fertile landscapes to some similarly inclined fellow travellers. Radiohead and Beta Band aficionados should be herded toward it pronto. Whether it be the clipped guitar matrices, lulling percussion or beguiling keyboard and recorder melodies of the title track, or 'Okay Okay's' delightful folk flourishes (featuring Paul Conboy's intimate vocal debut -- and what a convincing debut!) -- this is Corker/Conboy's sublime musical vision refined to an irresistible quintessence; and then some. While the three distinctive remixes -- by ex-Gastr del Sol mainstay and Fat Cat recording artist David Grubbs, plus one each from Derailer and Xela -- are equally persuasive and lend this alluring sonic tableau the kind of coherent beauty most remix projects never even approach."

"London's prolific Adrian Corker and Paul Conboy are back with another beguiling offering. Fresh from writing the next Bomb The Bass album with Tim Simenon, the duo have been galvanized into expanding their palette beyond the (albeit beautiful and widely acclaimed) post rock of their debut. An invitingly hazy warp and weft of languid grooves and glistening keyboards, Radiant Idiot recalls Can at their most tranquil and hypnotic, or the motorik art-rock glide of later period Talk Talk, yet retains a remarkable glow that is all its own."

Double LP version. "The long playing debut album from London based duo Corker / Conboy aka Adrian Corker and Paul Conboy. Contributors to the project include Jono Podmore of Irmin Schmidt (Can) + Kumo fame. The album draws influences from a variety of differing reference points that the duo have become synonymous with over the years from African and Brazilian roots music through to Chicago post rock right back to the more worldly experimental approaches."

"The long playing debut album from London based duo Corker / Conboy aka Adrian Corker and Paul Conboy or otherwise known as APE and Soul Circuit. Contributors to the project include Jono Podmore of Irmin Schmidt (Can) + Kumo fame and Luke Gifford both on production duties along with percussionist Pete Carey and trumpeter Ian Dixon, with all other instruments and programming by the duo themselves. The album draws influences from a variety of differing reference points that the duo have become synonymous with over the years from African and Brazilian roots music through to Chicago post rock right back to the more worldly experimental approaches and leanings of visionaries such as that of ECM artists Jan Garbarek and Pierre Favre. In Light Of That Learnt Later is the soundtrack to Corker / Conboy's wonderfully charismatic and emotive world. Filled with whispers of charm and heart moving melancholia, their delicate and intricate approach to music making provides and inspiring glimpse into the world of instrumental acoustic music and shaped harmonics."
