On Alive In Wonderland, Dalham (aka Suffolk countryside-based and London-residing Jon Michaelides) shifts slightly from his prior style of gauzy sound spheres and broken beats to slow motion, BOC-infused psychedelic semi-electro shapes.

Scarper :: Noctis EP (Plexus)
Scarper takes a high-octane approach to his already accelerated exp-electronics trajectory.
Monolake :: Machine Loving / Machine Learning with Robert Henke
Robert Henke, founding and sole member of the legendary Berlin experimental techno group Monolake and co-founder with (former Monolake partner Gerhard Behles and Bernd Roggendorf) of Ableton Live, the groundbreaking software company that took aspects of loop-based electronic music from a semi-obscure corner of music production and turned it into a driving force of musical creation as one of the top tier DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations) in use today.
Ümlaut :: An Auxiliary View (Audiobulb)
Ümlaut (aka northern Connecticut-based Jeff Düngfelder) elevates An Auxiliary View, delving light years into transparent soundscapes, expansive musique concrète, microscopic glitch mechanisms, and static pulses for the consistently adventurous Audiobulb imprint.
DoorHead :: 0pen22 EP (Not Yet Remembered)

Jos Smolders :: Textuur 1 [number 1-9] (Moving Furniture)
Some albums get your brain working. You’ll plant some conceptual seed in your mind, and you start thinking or even philosophizing. It depends on the planted seed, how your brain works, mental (dis)abilities, and, oh yeah, the amount of coffee you had that day.
Japanese ambient music :: Minimal environment and zen-inspired sonic sculptures

Establishing a benchmark for high-definition electronic experimentation, US-based Point Source Electronic Arts explores expansive landscapes steeped in post-industrial terrain, striking a balance between explosive glitch mechanisms and delicate atmospheric textures.
Ocoeur :: Breath (n5MD)
Breath shines both as an ambient record and as a blend of both ambient and classical, not solely because of the instrumentation utilized, but also because of these really big powerful climaxes that make up for the record’s most engaging moments.
Kilometre Club :: Earnest Tub (Imaginary North)
So even though Kilometer Club is doing something new by making electronic ambience the length of something you would hear by the Minutemen or The Germs, it is still long enough at the album level to be considered long form. That’s the paradox: an epic odyssey taken in brief snapshots. There is something very earnest about this approach.
