The Seven Planes of Dreams draws from a lot of different sources, such as the esoteric idea of five levels of consciousness, the scientific view of different phases of sleep, elements of our daily lives mingling with messages from our subconscious mind and with impressions received from books, or movies, from pictures and also other music.

Forgotten Worlds lives up to its name, blending the rich, hidden depths of synthesizers with the extraordinary realms they conjure.

Survey Channel :: Functional Gloss (Self Released)
The fluid, unhurried march of time—where each second blends seamlessly into the next, constantly shifting and evolving—creates the perfect backdrop for albums like Functional Gloss by Buffalo’s Matt Donatelli, under his Survey Channel project.
Özcan Saraç :: Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response (Evel)
Less than a year after TON, a two-hour-and-a-half glitch mammoth that made it into Igloo’s Best of 2024 round-up, Özcan Saraç is back on Evel with Neural Generators of the Auditory Brainstem Response—and if TON already seemed daunting for its lengths and experimentation, Saraç’s seventh album ups the ante, clocking over 330 minutes divided into twenty-five movements.
Fantastic Twins :: Suite of Rooms (House of Slessor)
All in all, this is an album that doesn’t fail to entertain those looking for interesting, leftfield electronica. The aesthetic of this LP very much matches its concept, and if you want to feel like you’re part of the labyrinth yourself, might as well try and do the one on the cover, only to realize after a little bit that it’s completely closed off and you’d feel as lost as you should.
AeTopus :: iota (Spotted Peccary Music)
iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example. Experienced in a good listening environment, the listener will imagine distance, elevation, and perhaps even time.
Salad Process & pä :: Seconde Peau Plastique_Désaccord (Evel)
At times, the sound feels almost mechanical—like a dishwasher trying to interpret a broken InSinkErator’s message—as grinding microscopic clicks and bleeps collide within their own labyrinth before retreating into four states of shattered stillness.
Electropia :: Connecting electronic music with transmedial art
Vienna, Austria-based independent electronic music label Electropia emphases on conceptualizing transmedia art beyond the confines of merely releasing music. The artistic approach to the project has led to enhanced states of sensory perception.
