Tenth Listen is behemoth of a compilation that unfolds sparkling sound sculptures and showcases clearly that IDM is alive and well.
Tag: Ambient
exm :: Post Acuem (Self Released)
exm manages to dive into blissful sound design elements that at once sound mechanical and arcane but somehow also exude emotivly magnetic attractions.
Hanut Munson :: Zoopraxiscopy EP (Evel)
On Zooproxiscopy we find Hanut Munson deliver tranquilized electronic layers of dust where delicate pitter-patter beats flutter in the wind and melodic notes drift somewhere in the margins while simultaneously moving colorful sound images.
Chaircrusher :: Stars Have Fallen (Triplicate)
Taking us back to early DeFocus, Delsin and Neo Ouija days where lightly sprinkled electronics birthed IDM’s trajectory into melodic and blissful moments, Chaircrusher captures familiar terrain with luminous sonic bubbles.
Roel Funcken :: S1.MK2 (Self Released)
By pushing and pulling on a vast tapestry of textured noises and glittery soundscapes, the exploratory nature of this album is offset by its attention to nuanced, imprecise and sparkling electronic flutter.
Seigo Aoyama :: On The Drift (Audiobulb)
Darker strands mix with lightened pitter-patter tones that simply fade away. These unusually magnetic sonic traverses detail organic, nostalgic, and atmospheric forays that should be absorbed as a whole to even begin to capture its aural glow.
ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ :: IMMI EP (MUSAR)
On IMMI, the ominous mood is offset by ricocheting beatwork and breakbeat impulses that never outstay their welcome.
Rudy Adrian :: As Dusk Becomes Night (Spotted Peccary)
Each piece an ebb and flow connected by atmospheric notes, drones, and extended waves. Creating a dreamlike soundscape—a place to drift away to—Rudy Adrian carves a serene landscape of dust, debris and delicate structure.
Driftmachine :: Spume & Recollection (Umor Rex)
Celebrating Umor Rex’s 15th anniversary, Spume & Recollection is an encapsulating 40 minutes—tranquilizing the senses with emphasis on pulsing lo-fi drums and subtle bass elements throughout.
Marihiko Hara & Polar M :: Music For Home Vol. 1: Our Season EP (mü-nest)
A well rounded, well produced and very subtle melodic interval, drifting from quiet scenes of snow falling minimal synthetic leads to some of my favourite lo-fi, imperfect sound effects and noise ridden atmospheres.
mōshonsensu :: Solemn Grandeur EP (Abstrakt Reflections)
If mōshonsensu wanted to capture that certain IDM soundscape from yesteryear, he certainly hits the target with Solemn Grandeur.
