These compact sci-fi-infused auditory slabs transport us back a number of years as they continuously shift and fade away, building up to an inevitable breakdown.

Panopticum :: Multisensory Metaphors EP (Polygon Network)
Panopticum’s aptly-titled Multisensory Metaphors is a densely-packed EP combining meditative downtempo electronics, glitch, electro, and IDM in beautiful deconstructive patterns.
Rudy Adrian :: Beyond the Sleepy Hills (Spotted Peccary Music)
What makes this different from the other albums by Rudy Adrian is that the amazing musical events are deliberately subtle and soft — and hopefully soothing, without becoming saccharine. The intention is to always ensure that the ingredients are unobtrusive and will allow the listener to fall asleep without encountering music that is dissonant or melodramatic.
Maps and Diagrams :: Islands (Handstitched*)
As you listen, following the slowly emerging sustained long tones, the suggestion of rattling bones, sunshine, lavender and beautiful clean beaches come to mind.
Menou & Paolo Calabrese :: st2m EP (A Silent Place)
Before the halfway mark, you get some noise that sounds like it’s derived from scraping a metal sheet on the floor, which may sound astoundingly unpleasant when I frame it that way, but becomes much more fitting and digestible when it is so quiet in this piece.
Lara Jones :: Dome (Lo Recordings)
Followers of sonic miniatures and impressionist contemplative ambient escapism from Lee Hannah, The Green Kingdom, Omni Garden, Yoshimura, and noda yûki should take note. Minimal […]
The Album Leaf :: Blast EP (feat. Aaron D4VD) (Nettwerk)
Jimmy LaValle’s vast experience as a soundtrack composer is deeply expressed on this EP as he masters the art of creating moods through sound that, on the way around, can arouse a vast set of cinematic imagery and, in consequence, blasts of emotion.
Thurston Moore :: Flow Critical Lucidity (Daydream Library Series / Radieux Radio)
And like a dream, or the waking dream of creative action and inspiration, the flow state of this album passes by with temporal swiftness. Caught up in the eddies and swirls we are soon down the stream of consciousness and into a calm clear pool.
Softlock :: Second Wind EP (Perimeter Junk)
The duo seamlessly navigate complex coordinates of technique and technology, art and skill—weaving them into their own distinctive aural fabric.
Somaticae & Fuc Lerrari :: Golems making Golems (Evel)
A complex and tumultuous collection making for some of the heaviest and disjointed compositions we’ve heard from the ever-enduring Evel enterprise.
Mitoma :: Fragments Vol. II (Section 27)
These multi-talented musicians easily fall into the scope of exp-electronics we embed ourselves within each and every day, while Mitoma’s distinctive remodeling gives these already potent recordings an additional level of reconstruction, or fragments.
