Black Mesa.
Biosphere – The Petrified Forest
Loscil – Monument Builders
Heartbreaking ambient.
Wilsen – I Go Missing In My Sleep
This feels to me what Khoiba felt like in 2004. Personal, emotional, delicate.
Actress – AZD
Also a wandering, through techno to experimental ambient soft noises.
Sidenote: the last Gonjasufi record is named after an alternate reality perception thing, and this Actress album writes in the press release about “a chrome aspect journey into a parallel world”. Hm.
FJAAK – FJAAK
Technoid music from Berlin. Not all four-by-four though, some broken beats, ambient textures too, but synths and underground electronic vibe all around. Nice find.
Marc Romboy – Voyage De La Planète
This is heavily emotional. Or emotions are heavy on this one. Seems like a space opera concept but often it is rather a rollercoaster through your own soul.
Those Who Walk Away – The Infected Mass
Minimalistic ambient with a very disturbing concept using conversation recordings from cockpits of planes that are about to crash. This is the definition of haunting music.
Jacaszek – KWIATY
Ambient, calm, slow, focus.
Marconi Union – Tokyo+
A little bit extended version of the 2009 Tokyo. Rhythmic ambient downtempo wondering.
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.
