Breath shines both as an ambient record and as a blend of both ambient and classical, not solely because of the instrumentation utilized, but also because of these really big powerful climaxes that make up for the record’s most engaging moments.

Kilometre Club :: Earnest Tub (Imaginary North)
So even though Kilometer Club is doing something new by making electronic ambience the length of something you would hear by the Minutemen or The Germs, it is still long enough at the album level to be considered long form. That’s the paradox: an epic odyssey taken in brief snapshots. There is something very earnest about this approach.
Anders Ilar :: Tallinn Acid Tracks EP (Acid Lathe)
Produced by Anders Ilar in 2015 while in Estonia, Tallinn Acid Tracks is out now via Acid Lathe—an experimental sub-label of Yard Rec—on a limited edition 4-track clear square 8” vinyl made individually on a lathe cutting machine.
Simon Pyke / Freeform :: Four Flex One EP (Self Released)
All in all, calming ambient techno mosaics and expertly crafted soundscapes flourish within Four Flex One. Simply captivating.
shuttle358 :: optimal.lp [reissue] (Keplar)
A quarter of a century on from optimal.lp’s release, then, its timelessness is still palpable, even enhanced, with the reissue’s addition of three tracks made while working on it, plus a new take on the closing “Tank” (digital only): in prepping the reissue, running one of the masters through a customized reverb unit, he began recording the outcome of this haptic past-inside-the-present dialog.
Francisco Sonur :: Blurred Cities (Móatún 7)
Blurred Cities presents an engaging and brilliant sound excursion, crafting poignant pieces with a slight departure from his usual sorrowful dusty neoclassical ambient in favor of more hypnotic and discreetly beat-laden ambient chills.
Dragon :: Audio Denaturation EP (Ryu)
Fans of Richard Devine and Valance Drakes should take note of Dragon’s comprehensive blend of deep sound forms that pierce through the core of our planet.
Konerytmi :: 13 EP (Snork Enterprises)
13 is a fun experience. There’s a lot of danceable moments—but also a lot of more intricate explorations of techno, industrial, and electro with only six tracks to offer. The record manages to find a great balance between these genres, leaving you with some really memorable and catchy tunes, while also punching hard when it wants to.
