V/A :: Shade Rather Than Light Anthology Three Mix (See Blue Audio)
All in all, the experience this mix offers is, indeed, really immersive. It’s a smooth ride all the way through, with certain standout moments and enough variety to keep itself engaging at all times.
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.
Shentov, Simitchiev, Lukanov :: Pain and Power (Amek Collective)
An affecting sonic fluctuation of dark ambient surrealism, and a highly recommended deep dive.
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.
Taylor Made Trilogy Turns to Ash (Nettwerk)
Just in is news of continuation of a new chapter on Nettwerk with the release of Ash, rounding off his EP trilogy, initiated with Eev (igloo-’viewed) and Aer, with its conceptual theme of a ‘life arc’ from exciting new beginnings to the darkness of dealing with life’s challenges.
subtractiveLAD :: Unspoken (Self Released)
Unspoken is “performance-based, with no click, no grid, just playing,” as stated in the liner notes. Featuring granular and raw construction permeating distinctive synth swells, Unspoken flows through like a forgotten soundtrack to our soul.
