Ambient is like a river. You step into the flow and let the new waters ripple on past. Breathtaking ripples abound on this record from […]

Everyday Dust :: Overtones (Dustopian Frequencies)
The bell has sounded and the sharp attack of that first clang belies the long decay as it drifts across time.
Death By Drone :: Complex (Labile)
Industrial rhythms and explosive beats, aggressive textures, unsettling ambient, and resonating drones create aggravated assemblages that mirror the advanced architecture of the market forces as driving as the bass drops and as savage as the distorted beats.
Sunroof (Daniel Miller & Gareth Jones) :: Electronic Music Improvisations Vol. 3 (Mute)
This is the third such outing for Sunroof who let the solar power flood in over their heads to illuminate the punching of buttons and the twisting of knobs, the free flow of corded creativity, wires in a maze of amazement.
Thurston Moore :: Flow Critical Lucidity (Daydream Library Series / Radieux Radio)
And like a dream, or the waking dream of creative action and inspiration, the flow state of this album passes by with temporal swiftness. Caught up in the eddies and swirls we are soon down the stream of consciousness and into a calm clear pool.
Negativland :: Speech Free (Seeland)
Multitasking has ruined listening to albums at home in the woods. But this album can restore that experience. It is just as good to listen to in complete darkness, late at night, as an episode of Over the Edge. I hope to experience further instrumental excursions from the band, now that they have decided to shut up and play their instruments.
V/A :: Imaginary North Transmission 009 (Imaginary North)
Transmission 009 achieves a striking unity of sound across all of its thirteen tracks. This could even all be the work of one artist, but it’s not. While there are differences, the commonalities between these musicians flow together in sequence to create a lush tapestry.
Philippe Blache (Day Before Us) :: Tristitiam Et Metus Tradam Portare Ventis (Conjvre the Circle)
Esoteric vibrations of ritualistic frequencies shroud these songs in a wildcrafted incense of dark terroir.
