Ethereal and otherworldly, Whispered Hymns’ meditative qualities dabble with the psyche on tracks like “Discoloured Rainbows” and “Deep Crystal Lake,” lulling us into the mystic lights of time as they flow through an endless auditory universe.

V/A :: We Are Reasonable People (Warp) — 26 years later!
A memorable snapshot of an era which many longtime Warp aficionados think of fondly as representing the very pinnacle of the label’s musical prowess, and for anyone wishing to delve further into Warp’s back catalog, a handy list of every WAP (singles and EPs with catalog numbers from 1 to 99) and WARP (albums with catalog numbers from 1 to 55) release up to that time was included inside the compilation’s CD booklet.
Darren Harper / Ümlaut :: Generational Drift / The Celestial Sphere (Handstitched*)
Darren Harper and Ümlaut create one long dreamy track and eleven short fragmented listening experiences.
Dissolved :: Amber Rooms (Dissolvedamberrooms)
With Amber Rooms, a ten-piece suite recorded earlier in 2024, Dissolved makes another comeback and continues to build on the foundations of melodic and kaleidoscope electronics.
Kenneth James Gibson & Paul Carman :: Murals For Immersion (Important / Cassauna)
These murals could just as easily be on the outside of a large city block, or sequestered inside of a dimly lit jazz café where modal post-bop has mutated into tranquil harmonic abstractions that hover like smoke above the tables of a transfixed clientele.
V/A :: Transmission 008 (Imaginary North)
These expertly detailed sonic Polaroids encapsulate the spirit of time, past and present, as though to ease the listener into a thick fog with tranquil audio-visual textures, tones, and drones.
Cory Mills :: Cory Mills 1983-2024 (EC Underground)
A unique collection and audiovisual retrospective that goes a long way in commemorating Cory Mills’ memory.
vcam :: Collisions EP (Self Released)
Collisions is the result of a talented musician not afraid to try new (modular) techniques as he navigates a complex learning curve where the reactive theme takes full form.
Six Rivers National Forest :: Folklore (Peak)
Behold! An unknown beast! One that you may be able to spot while taking a walk in the frosty and mysterious soundscapes that Folklore depicts, a good alternative for those who don’t live in snowy areas.
Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan :: Your Community Hub (Castles In Space)
Your Community Hub is a great take on a classic style of electronic music. While it’d be easy to discredit this LP as just rehashed old techniques, the execution is what ultimately sets it apart, so much so that if this style happened to resuscitate in a couple years to come, Warrington-Runcorn New Town Development Plan would be one of the names to hail and remember—and I promise—it’s not that challenging to do so.
NYORAI :: Shinkirō (蜃気楼) (Mahorka)
A well-balanced album of emotive experimental electronic music that aims to expose finer visual-audio fragments in its dense sound design. An upper-level release we’ll keep in constant rotation.
