Jimmy Svensson – Beyond The Black

Atmospheric dark ambient. It’s like a movie soundtrack and spans a wide range: creepy, eerie, wondering, whimsical. Makes my imagination run rampant.

I’m currently preparing to GM a Mörk Borg adventure and this is an amazing soundtrack to that setting. It’s dark enough to fit the grim world, but also has so much more layers than just the usual doom metal soundtrack that the canon usually suggests, makes the game atmosphere more versatile.

Biosphere – The Way of Time

This is an amazingly good ambient record. I haven’t been so enthusiastic about a piece of ambient release for a long time. Maybe it’s because in the age of “everyone’s a musician” and “AI generated shit”, it’s so easy to flood the web with cheap drones and low tempo loops and slap ambient on it. Then something like the Etna Sessions, the HYbr:ID series, or this album comes along, and there’s no explanations needed, I instantly feel the difference a real artist and craftsman of ambient music makes.

Polynation – Igneous

Electronic music ranging from cinematic ambient through mid-tempo moody melodic beats to dance floor grooves for small sidesteps. They are fellow artists from the same roster as Weval, so that.

It’s kinda ridiculous that I don’t have a good genre definition for this kind of music. I always feel it hard to put a label on it, although it’s clearly a thing.

Trentemøller – Dreamweaver

It really is a dreamy, ethereal album. It’s new age, dream pop, and some occasional post-punk mixed in. I was surprised to get this from Trentemøller, but it was a good surprise, it’s a lovely record.
