The bell has sounded and the sharp attack of that first clang belies the long decay as it drifts across time.

Shentov, Simitchiev, Lukanov :: Pain and Power (Amek Collective)
An affecting sonic fluctuation of dark ambient surrealism, and a highly recommended deep dive.
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Bad Sector :: Yela (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
If you are fond of dystopian electronic coldness of Omit, Franck Riggio, Kcin, Philip Munch and some Lustmord (for the rumbling,) uncanny moody-esque textures, and eerily fixated atmospheres, you won’t be disappointed.
Taylor Made Trilogy Turns to Ash (Nettwerk)
Just in is news of continuation of a new chapter on Nettwerk with the release of Ash, rounding off his EP trilogy, initiated with Eev (igloo-’viewed) and Aer, with its conceptual theme of a ‘life arc’ from exciting new beginnings to the darkness of dealing with life’s challenges.
Drifting In Silence | w-berg :: North Sea (Labile)
North Sea is renewed with musically rich and engaging synthedelic experiences surrounded by sci-fi dystopian conceptual backgrounds and ecological-minded aspirations.
Lucus :: Vectorising (Adventurous Music)
Vectorising continually draws from looping noises until nothing is left but dust. The amount of detail, found sounds, and auditory erosion is absolutely hypnotizing front to back.
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.
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.
V/A :: Imaginary North Transmission 009 (Imaginary North)
Transmission 009 achieves a striking unity of sound across all of its thirteen tracks. This could even all be the work of one artist, but it’s not. While there are differences, the commonalities between these musicians flow together in sequence to create a lush tapestry.
