Par Dessus Bord sounds like a well-crafted horror score of a dark and minimal nature. Tracks are less melodic than rhythmic, looped, and electroacoustic.

vssp :: Over the sun (Kalamine)
As a whole, vssp’s Over the sun has a consistent feel and a steady pace. It is best for meditative moods, for periods of quiet and extended listening. The temporary nature of modern life is connoted throughout.
Ian Boddy :: Modal Operandi (Quiet Details)
Modal Operandi is a fulfilling listen. Tracks bear fruit through melodic complexity and the inclusion of quiet, often minute details that can be more and more readily detected on repeat listens.
Synthetic Ecology 2 :: Finding the edge, some thoughts about ‘experimental music’
Experimental music can mean many things—often tracks are beat-less or off-beat, atonal or noisy, or in some way either more or less dense than other genres. My point is not to establish orthodox genre boundaries.
Demetrio Cecchitelli :: Unity (ROHS!)
Cecchitelli’s style reminds me a bit of Angelo Badalamenti, a chosen soundtrack composer for David Lynch, among others. It is much like his, but with some Leo Kottke added, with a similar style of guitar melodies.
Derrick Stembridge | Mike Petruna :: Cryptic Logic (Labile)
Derrick Stembridge and Mike Petruna’s Cryptic Logic is an easily-digested industrial album with atmospheric aspects. It is mindful of Front Line Assembly’s more atmospheric works, with dystopian and futuristic elements.
