This album preserves an expressive environmental sound aestheticism, continuously soothing, slightly bitter, but without being too austere.

Great Panoptique Winter :: This Time Alone (Sound in Silence)
This is immediately enjoyable, transportive, and atmospheric, showing ingredients of delicate musical sweetness.
Igor Yalivec :: Etudes (Whited Sepulchre)
Offering aural sentient textures and dreamily electroacoustic and minimal sequences recommended for fans of quintessential works by Helios, Goldmund, Hammock, Winged Victory for the Sullen, and Pausal.
Kristof Bathory :: Humanoid Dystopia (Cryo Chamber)
This mysteriously cinematic ambient body of slowly moving pieces is mentally transportive and representative of a contemplative journey in unknown vastness and in the depth of the subconsciousness.
Pascal Savy :: Simulacra (Cyclic Law)
With its incantatory tranced-out noisy percolations and moody-esque pulsating minimalism, this album has something majestic and hypnotic which claims to reach the dark arcana of some paranormal regions.
Derrick Stembridge :: Past Present Future: Archive I (Labile)
The album’s almost cyber-punk and relentlessly austere energy also veers into musical territory inhabited by Ghostly International-signed acts.
Christophe Bailleau :: Vertical Moon Phase Charm (Mahorka)
All in all a composite, convoluted and plural electronic album dedicated to mysterious, suspenseful and uncanny textures.
Massimo Pupillo :: Our Forgotten Ancestors (Glacial Movements)
This new offering reveals a collection of deeply soothing soundscapes and slippery textures based on sustained and dynamic drones and chords—a thrilling and minimal ambient release of sorrowing introspective solemnity.
3View :: Polar Seas (Jeannine Schulz, Andrew Heath & Anne Chris Bakker, IKSRE & Anthén)
Based in Toronto, Polar Seas is one indie label which stands among the best in the panorama of modern avantgarde-micro tonal ambient music.
Aware :: Requiem For A Dying Animal (Glacial Movements)
Another clear candidate for best album of the year, as usual with Glacial Movements, Requiem For A Dying Animal goes beyond simple ambient music spectrums…
Sonmi451 :: The Eighteen Minute Gap (laaps)
The album admits a wide range of textures, field recordings morphed and treated with nuances and displayed with a massive sonic impact—immersing the listener in a vast river of emotions.
