David Helpling & Jon Jenkins :: A Treasured World (Spotted Peccary)
The natural synergy between Helpling and Jenkins is well known for bringing their melodic ringing dynamics of cinematic electronics, somehow merging piquant flavors of rock sensibilities, ambient electronic, and limitless atmospheric space music.
scav :: The Second (Mahorka)
scav finds solace in peculiarly compelling minimized clicks and cuts where skillfully weaved ambient noises mingle with darker soundtrack elements producing pleasant tones to the core.
Four Tet :: Three (Text)
The highlights rank among the best executed Four Tet tracks in this vein, and while not everything on this album is super memorable, all the tracks contribute to a really good balance that makes it an overall enjoyable LP.
Neuro… No Neuro :: minute. EP (Self Released)
Subtle field recordings and granular synthesis spread across these compositions as shimmering elements take hold.
AK-One :: Nothing Grows in a Straight Line (Common Ancestors)
A two-part voyage into the sublime is achieved through a fusion of styles, expansive ambient sound sources, drifting synths, and gentle guitar tones.
Rafael Toral :: Spectral Evolution (Moikai / Drag City)
This album sees Rafael Toral manipulating various sound sources to create a vast piece that goes through really, really slow chord progressions, but echoes with such wonderful textures and dynamics that it becomes almost transcendental.
