Clearly enjoyable for a quiet home listening session on a rainy day, and ultimately a contemplative delight for your daydreaming moments.

Federico Durand :: Té De Flores Silvestres (IIKKI)
Appealing and introverted feelings pass over the full album, trembling at the sounding surface with a hazy solemnity. Colorful and warm, the soundscapes are spiritually nurturing; enriched by subtle melodic lines and cultivate a sensation of freedom and lightness.
Taroug :: Darts & Kites (Denovali)
This album is fresh, colorful, and flush with innovative ideas that are recommended for lovers of challenging IDM, microhouse, motorik electro musik, as well as kinetic abstract ambient minimalism and ascending romantical piano music.
Orphax & Kenneth Kirschner :: Movement (Moving Furniture)
Consequently, we are immersed in slow-moving textured ambiances punctuated by aleatoric piano motifs and diverse sources of manipulation. In itself, the music tends to be conceptual and cerebral but beautifully enveloped by absorbing sentient waves.
Bass Communion :: The Itself of Itself (Fourth Dimension)
The Itself of Itself corresponds to the most obscure and psychoactive abstract and radical tendency of Bass Communion’s music.
Cult of Light :: The Luminous Spiral (Zazen Sounds)
What catches the ears is the groundbreaking and burgeoning ceremonial and ritual components of the music often immersing the listener in deep, quiet then unsettling or uncanny moods.
Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri :: Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close (Black Knoll Editions)
Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close is a brooding and at the same time priceless contemplative effort for entrancing noises, velveting drones and revered guitar phrasings.
Anthené :: Stray Light (Floralia)
Anthené never ceases to please our meditative capacity of listening and Stray Light is highly recommended for those who like gauzy shoegazing excursions and warm tonal drones.
Ecovillage :: Crescendo (Lo Recordings)
Experimenting in the realms of blissful melancholy and soothing new-age atmospherics.
Galati :: Cold As a February Sky (Glacial Movements)
A representative and well-crafted album of modern day ambient synthedelica with everything you may like regarding textured lush atmospheres which invite to explore the great unknown while being immersed in natural primordial stillness.
Nimh :: Before And After Silence (Zoharum)
A visceral voyage into deep hypnagogic textures, magnetic clouds and ominous towering moves. These audio works can easily convince those into cryptic drone manifests of Jonathan Coleclough, Colin Potter, Grant Evans, and Dead Voices on Air.
