The power of a rumbling locomotive with interwoven technoid laser beams and plenty of slithering robotic rhythms.

Nebulo :: Gobelin Stitches (Evel)
Gobelin Stitches only manages to reinforce Nebulo’s strength and capacity to rediscover raw musical ideas and stitch them into hundreds of unique spatial coordinates.
So Much Blood :: Raw Øblations 7: Gold Tooth (Errorgrid)
Easily a highlight of the series, the forthcoming compilation finale will include all seven releases rolled up into one high-powered assemblage. Watch out.
Shentov, Simitchiev, Lukanov :: Pain and Power (Amek Collective)
An affecting sonic fluctuation of dark ambient surrealism, and a highly recommended deep dive.
Celine Arnauld :: Prjct Cntnt EP (New York Haunted)
Crunchy rhythmic turbulence and unpredictable electronics make up this exhausting Borg-like set.
Cathode Ray Tube :: Overworld EP (Condition Human)
CRT delivers a surreal storm-surging soundtrack that breaks through with fragmented synthesis and industrial techno juxtaposition.
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Bad Sector :: Yela (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
