Here, isolation and cooperation coexist within the confines of dark electronics as lighter shapes and shades lurk in the background.
Reviews
clocolan :: 2k10-2k20 (Redpan)
2k10–2k20 as a whole, is much more of a laid-back atmosphere than a percussive one, and it serves as a benchmark for the artists’ sound and vision.
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.
Meat Beat Manifesto & Merzbow :: Extinct (Cold Spring)
This is not a collaboration you thought could happen or would happen. Extinct reminded me a bit of the more noisy performances at the legendary Maschinenfest festivals I’ve attended over the years. Like pre-Hands ORPHX or early Synapscape. Become reacquainted with some beautiful music / rhythmic noise.
Daiki F :: A Walk in the Countryside (Rednetic)
Overall, I feel a recharging of positive energy, higher energy levels, and a purification of negative thoughts, nice and slow with some gem false endings, when things seem to settle down to wrap up, and then starts back up again.
Microhm :: Les-1 (Detroit Underground)
Immersing otherworldly electronics with atmospheric textures and tones, Les-1 is a succinctly planned journey.
Grande Loge :: Unruh (Cyclic Law)
This tremendous and tranced-out tribal ambient manifest can make an original soundtrack for those who want to be physically immersed in the esoteric philosophy of modern days wizards such as Alan Bennett.
Sea of Suns :: Sea of Suns EP (Courier)
The October 2023 release of Sea of Suns’ eponymous EP on Courier features a largely indie electronic atmosphere.
