Their music has been extraordinarily well received by connoisseurs within the ambient scene and well beyond. In a top 30 chart of the best Psybient albums of all time compiled by Rate Your Music, CBL were rated at # 1, 2, 5, 16 and 26 alongside such great artists as Sphongle, Solar Fields, Ott, AES Dana and many others. CBL aim to combine earth and space in their music, using the combination of nature and technology as the main inspiration for their work. They have played all over Europe and the US including many festival appearances such as Symbiosis (US), Anthropos (UK) and Ozora (Hungry) and in April 2025 played incredible sold out shows in Manchester and London. For this performance there will be a bespoke laser show. Support TBA.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar music still playing in Manchester this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other Manchester rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (music) in Manchester. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
