A soundtrack in which its single moments are most definitely enjoyable and work as such, portraying a good variety of different imaginary scenarios that are apt to the album’s concept.

Aroma Nice :: Old Haunts (YUKU)
This is an overall consistent and fun LP, one that does not rely on any quirks to be appealing; what Old Haunts can really rely on are its intense grooves, so much so that they’re both the backbone and in the forefront of these tracks.
Four Tet :: Three (Text)
The highlights rank among the best executed Four Tet tracks in this vein, and while not everything on this album is super memorable, all the tracks contribute to a really good balance that makes it an overall enjoyable LP.
Squarepusher :: Dostrotime (Warp)
Dostrotime strikes with bold tracks that are not afraid to go all in, whether that’d be with their explosiveness, intricate live playing, or insane drum spasms.
Rafael Toral :: Spectral Evolution (Moikai / Drag City)
This album sees Rafael Toral manipulating various sound sources to create a vast piece that goes through really, really slow chord progressions, but echoes with such wonderful textures and dynamics that it becomes almost transcendental.
