Electronic on a wide range from ambience to electro, but in many cases with a soundtrack and visual feeling to it.
Soft Error - Mechanism
Letherette – Where Have All The People Gone?
Hiphopish, glitchy, brainfeederish, ninjatuney. Not foreground music, not dancefloor music. Background thing but not at all elevator music.
iZem – Hafa
It’s exactly like nu jazz today. Laid-back lounge music with some african elements mixed in.
Honnda – Diamonds in the Microwave
It’s a short thing. But it’s kind of a smash.
Max Cooper – Emergence
According to its premise this is supposed to score the universe with music from before the boom to the infinite future. Beautiful, atmospheric, inspiring.
Clark – The Last Panthers
It is a soundtrack to a tv series, but it is not released as a soundtrack. So this is a Clark album in its own right, but is a soundtrack nonetheless. It is the soundtrack to a snowfall on a gloomy dark dawn. To a ship sailing out into the vast ocean and breaking ice on the go. It is the soundtrack to its sinking and hitting rock bottom. And to the sunshine that glides through the water and reaches the masthead of named ship waving goodbye.
Silk Road Assassins – Reflection Spaces
Ambient electronic sci-fi soundtrack with light bokeh and spaceships. In a city. With rain.
Barnaby Carter – While It Still Blooms
Calm, intimate and good for thoughts. Also good for work, inspiration, little candy pieces for brain.
Moodymann – DJ-Kicks
Hugely satisfying and absolutely relaxed mix of tracks through the hiphop-soul-groovy-nujazz axis. This is why I listen to good selections like the DJ Kicks or Late Night Tales releases in the first place. I mean not the specific genre but the top-notch selection.
Nine Inch Nails – Not the Actual Events
Would post this without listening to a single note. But, listened to this once so far. And now I need it to rest for a day and start listening again after. What I can say now is that it’s really diverse, and awesome, unexpectedly oldschool but not just that but lifespanning. Runs through the entire NIN catalogue’s moods and sounds and atmosphere in five tracks, and builds upon it to travel further. (Alright, not the entire NIN catalogue, but you know, the good records, the proper ones.)
Favorite track after first listen is probably The Idea of You with the most dragging industrial beat.
