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 […]
Blind Ruler Cursed Land :: Music for Firewalkers (Gladivs & Sky Burial)
A convincing album which can easily seduce avid listeners of ritualistic soundscapes where acoustic instrumental elements are melted with ambient-cinematic epicness.
V/A :: Music For Alien Temples (Eighth Tower)
The homage to epic and neo-mythological science fiction novels from classic-era is implicitly brought up to the fore. Thus this soundtrack can be well recommended while reading visionary literature from Arthur Machen and Henry Rider Haggard where heavenly mysticism meets dark energies and horror stories.
Nerthus :: The Path of the Elder Ones (Eighth Tower)
Clashing noises, odd scintillations, cavernous echoes, and granular moves insidiously come to the fore to enthrall or ravish the listener in an intoxicated and poisoned tellurian or subterranean ambiguousness.
Lia Bosch :: Polar Code (Glacial Movements)
Polar Code is a deeply grounded icy synthesized orchestration covered by futuristic, sci-fi cyber-like electronic tones as well as treated acoustic timbres and deep audio moves.
KOKUM :: Obscured Instinct and the pale Folklore (Eighth Tower)
Obscured Instinct and the pale Folklore is a cavernous, hymnic, and drone collection with incantatory voices and weird experimentalism.
Bad Sector :: Yela (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
