Vladislav Delay :: Anima [2022 Remaster] (Keplar)
Fortunately, the test of time shows Anima could be released today handheld its own against any new electronic or experimental release. Allowing for a deeper […]
T.R. Jordan :: Dwell Time (Past Inside the Present)
There are distortions and odd sounds that linger, all in slow motion and together they create the full feeling of sustained nostalgic relaxation.

Carrying cinematic qualities it is easy to get swept into this atmosphere and find yourself in a swell of tension from the surrounding currents.
Distant Fires Burning :: Inperspectycon Vol.2 (Audiobulb)
The album is at its best when you hear the signature Audiobulb sound of minimalist, at times almost microscopic, glitchy ambient IDM, but there’s also some reverb drenched ambient drone.
