Overall, The Vinyl Loop is a breath of fresh air as it brings the ambient genre into an area that is specific; not too esoteric, but not too beat-heavy. It all seems deliberate and balanced in my ears.

Clark :: Body Riddle (Remastered) (Warp)
Well, this month it appears that one of my calls is answered with the repress of Clark’s 2006 Body Riddle—not only that, but it’s accompanied by a new collection of previously-unreleased and hard-to-find works, 05-10.
Brad P :: Late Night Journeys (Moto Music)
Without a doubt Brad Peterson’s (Brad P) solo album is an essential and wonderful piece for the pure deep house lover as well as those who have an ear for jazz and lush techno auras.
Cuadroped :: inurmaul EP (Heterodox)
There’s a gritty and nostalgic flare surrounding inurmaul by Cuadroped; downtempo beatwork rolled up into bite size tracks ranging from 60 to 150 seconds is no ordinary feat.
Howard Givens & Madhavi Devi :: The Celestial Expanse (Spotted Peccary)
Seamlessly morphing from live studio recording techniques to multi-instrument choreography, including modular and analog synths, digital synths, samples, and acoustic elements, Howard Givens and Madhavi Devi explore a mindful relationship with music, spiritual practice, and the self-healing arts.
Braulio Lam :: Apertura (Dragon’s Eye)
A minimal movement that creates a sense of resolve and peace, like a mantra after a journey through the dark night of the soul.
