Just until now I didn’t know this thing even exists. Two tracks, 12 minutes each. It is an epic.
Massive Attack vs Burial – Four Walls / Paradise Circus
Nicolas Jaar – Sirens
Two tracks (The Governor and Three Sides of Nazareth) on this album are completely off here that you don’t see coming, and still, crown jewel. Ambience, electronic music, rythm of dub (in No), and then these two post-punkish upbeat things I cannot really classify into a genre.
Ginormous – At Night Under Artificial Light
Eclectic electronic with some heavy old-edIT kind of glitch beats, some ambient textures and noiseful IDM, some instrumental hiphop tempo, and even some chill psychedelic tunes here and there.
Looks like I just re-discovered the Hymen Records catalog.
VNDL – Gahrena: Structures
Part intimate, part exploration. Ambient and glitches and noises.
Xander Harris – California Chrome
Eclectic electronic: retro futurist synthwave, ambient, downtempo, electro, jumpig back and forth. That said it is not a very coherent album, but tracks are fine.
VA – Emerging Organisms vol. 5
This is the best compilation album I have heard in quite a while. Didn’t know any of the artists and now have albums queued from all of them. This is a gold mine.
Max Richter – Sleep Remixes
Max Richter created a composition called Sleep, which is 8 hours long. There are a few occasions when it is played in its entirety live. Could be one beautiful experience to listen to it played all the way long. Anyhow there is a remixes album with the remixes of three segments making fifteen pieces altogether. It is just wonderful. Although I am always stuck at the first piece called Path 5 and its Mogwai and Digitonal remixes. Stunning, soothing, a cradle, a womb. I haven’t felt this way for an ambient song for a long time.
Guy Andrews – Our Spaces
Experimenting around electronics this album is heavy, atmospheric, deep, powerful. Has a certain world-creating feel to it like that of the Fuck Buttons, but with certain patches of softness, like a caring god touch the void with hands able to destroy yet also create tender lives.
MMTOHS – Luneworks
Slow, ambient, deep techno, intelligent electronic music. Huge soul, embracing, intimate.
Heathered Pearls – Body Complex
Pumping house and beatless ambient. Calm, quiet, whispering, breeze. Feels nice.
