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.
Lyonel Bauchet :: Tractatus Lyra-Organismus (DiN)
The whole compositional plan and multi-timbral atmospheres are well elaborated, revealing many nuances, with a prevailing and inviting emotional mood…
Taylor Deupree :: “Eev” (Nettwerk)
Shapes, patterns, and tonal sculptures are subtly morphed, immersing the listener in a warm and vaporous state of emotional quietness.
