Parallel Worlds’ Impressions is another high-caliber album that is definitely worth listening to with its tendency toward darker tones and cinematic caliber.

ARC :: Chronicle (DiN)
Chronicle contains aspects of industrial, techno, and ambient genres; with due sophistication, it meshes well with music from an earlier era.
Ard Bit :: Field Recordings – 05 Bohemia (Self Released)
The complete pieces are reconstructed settings from a human perspective. In them, you can hear subtle changes, and arguably some development. The album is mainly atmospheric, communicating a wide and subtle range of gloomy impressions and moods.
Fallen :: Fragments (Móatún 7)
Fragments is a very nice loop-based, drifty ambient album. Some classical sounds appear, such as guitar and piano, and they often evoke very traditionally human themes. The release is well mixed and mastered, and concern was clearly given to each composition.
Rena Jones & KiloWatts :: Caesura (Cartesian Binary)
Caesura is a very listenable production, with consistent compositions and solid mastering; several familiar classical and acoustic sounds are infused all around.
REVANT :: MOSS EP (Self Released)
MOSS provides a gripping and thoughtful listen. Mellow, ambient, relaxing and electroacoustic—hopefully there is more to come from the Mumbai, India-based musician.
Fennesz :: Venice 20 – 20th Anniversary Edition (Touch)
Venice is an album that continues to work extremely well, even after 20 years. The combination of lighter-sounding loops with sounds that are more distorted results in a complexity of tone and texture as this remastered version emphasizes.
Maes Y Circles :: Maes Y Circles (GOTO)
Maes Y Circles’ self-titled album is a solid work with some great tracks. Audio technology is showcased, but because the sounds are of a vintage quality hearkening back to musicians such as Tangerine Dream and Vangelis.
