Defined by an intricate layering of instruments, particularly within the classical music realm, which are then transformed and reshaped through the use of vintage electronic devices, adding a unique depth and texture to the acoustic arrangements.

Nimh & Onasander :: Unveiled Lights (Fluttering Dragon)
Unveiled Lights’ tapestry of sounds will ravish fans of silky drone tones and spacious electronic sonorities from Lull, Vidna Obmana, Phelios, Steve Roach, Ajna, Forest Fang, Numina, and Caul.
Leit Motif :: Vestige (See Blue Audio)
The year starts in a good way for the chill-out vibe of ambient music and this album can already compete among the best of the genre. A powerful and oceanic immersion through sparkling tone colors and sinuous spacious melodies.
Derrick Stembridge :: Fading into What Remains (Labile)
A vibrant blend of rich textures and cybernetic, pulsating rhythms emerge from the depths, accompanied by altered vocals and hypnotic, futuristic soundscapes. These elements guide the listener on an exhilarating journey toward authenticity and redefined beauty, within a vast, multi-dimensional, and sensory-rich reality.
Markus Guentner :: Black Dahlia (Affin)
Black Dahlia is a relentless sonic departure and nuanced droning record of ominous, ecstatic and sublime fractures that will certainly appear among best albums of the year for lovers of adventurous music with ascending spiritual motifs.
Virus2020 :: A frog a gun and a sad man (Unexplained Sounds Group)
The result is more cryptic and hermetic than the previous release with a vast palette of aleatoric sound manipulations and sensient immersion in rituals taken from everyday life.
Dött Ljus :: Bottna (Slowcraft)
A successful and continuously pleasant album that pushes the senses with its serene atmosphere. Imagine an impossible meeting between Farben, Thomas Brinkmann, Purl, Mind over MIDI, Mike Slott, and Malmö; but also with an avenue to experiment within a handful of bright, flourishing and drifting ideas.
Yair Elazar Glotman & Mats Erlandsson :: Glory Fades (XKatedral)
All in all, a shimmering, beautiful, bold, nostalgic and carefully crafted ambient album that will also please fans of classical minimalism (Lou Harrisson, John Luther Adams), Steve Tibbetts’ Northern Song, as well as Appalachian / primitive guitar soundscapes with an experimental and soothing atmospheric tendency.
Wil Bolton :: South of the Lake (quiet details)
Warmly recommended for those who are into textural, timbral, sculpted, and discreetly melodic minimal ambient works forged by Harold Budd, Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana, and […]
