Organ groans call forth earthen percussion, dripping clanks and clods of drum soon shed of their organic trappings as industrial tones begin to dominate.

Belong :: Realistic IX (Kranky)
Belong’s return with Realistix IX is quite a success. They improve significantly on where they had left off and also make use of their noisy aesthetics, combining the two into a satisfying sonic collection.
Maes Y Circles :: Maes Y Circles (GOTO)
Maes Y Circles’ self-titled album is a solid work with some great tracks. Audio technology is showcased, but because the sounds are of a vintage quality hearkening back to musicians such as Tangerine Dream and Vangelis.
BUNKR :: Antenne (VLSI)
Antenne effortlessly maps a new direction for saccharine synth-infused electronica while feeling like a call to the nostalgia and perplexing soundscapes from a few decades ago.
Late Bloøm (Simon Spiess) :: FELD (Sonic Dialogue)
It may take several listens to really appreciate the calming ambient mélange of raw synth notes, fuzzily looping tapes, and absorbing electrical soundscapes that Simon Spiess unleashes here.
Fluffy Inside :: Unreliable Narrator (Neo Ouija)
In this carnival of music, with an unreliable narrator as your guide, listeners are liable to move from one attraction to the next, thrilled by the slight menace and delighted by the cotton ear candy.
Willows8ng :: Ambient Island EP (Imaginary North)
Glittering ripples and harmonic tones cascade like warm waterfalls into green and azure pools where the imagination can bathe in a setting evocative of natural wonder.
Scanner :: The Phenol Tapes (Alltagsmuzik)
The whole of The Phenol Tapes is a deep journey into the interior of Scanner’s creative mind as well as the lands of Captiva Island and comes highly recommended.
