Overall, Donald Byrne vs Bobby Fischer is a great release and very worth listening to. It is smart, entrancing, transcendent, glitchy, and reminds me more than a little bit of the great works of Brian Eno.

T.R. Jordan :: Dwell Time II (Past Inside the Present)
There are many things hidden in these low dwelling clouds, complex tiny voices and bits of music with overlays of curved drone-like sustained tones that are overall positive and uplifting.
Brandon Invergo :: Bringing On the Eschaton (Moon Atlas)
This combination of hammering pulses, screeching feedback and tight grooves creates a captivating sound that doesn’t work solely because of its intensity, but also because Brandon Invergo shakes things up effectively throughout this release.
Suseti & Henrik Meierkord :: Trakt (Labile)
We need musicians like Suseti and Henrik Meierkord who take making slow introspective music designed for contemplation an art form, and not just something that can be replicated with a few music apps and some help from soulless AI.
Seth Nehil/Bruno Duplant :: (else)where (aufabwegen)
The fifteen vignettes that these pieces offer are rather similar in atmosphere throughout disc 1, but a significant shift happens once you reach the unnerving nature of the second disc; though the first isn’t easy either, it does leave a lot more room for relaxing and somewhat reassuring natural sounds…
36 :: Reality Engine (Past Inside The Present)
As one of the most prolific ambient/synth artists to date, Reality Engine is hardly surprising as it’s a continuous work of widescreen modern ambient electronics just as expected.
Nimh :: Before And After Silence (Zoharum)
A visceral voyage into deep hypnagogic textures, magnetic clouds and ominous towering moves. These audio works can easily convince those into cryptic drone manifests of Jonathan Coleclough, Colin Potter, Grant Evans, and Dead Voices on Air.
Francis Gri :: While (Self Released)
Written as an inner soundtrack where delicately moving melodies rise from velvet-like abstract electronics.
Parallel Worlds :: Artiphon (Móatún 7)
Artiphon, the most recent release from prolific experimental sound designer Parallel Worlds (aka Bakis Sirros), features several peaks and valleys of dark ambient strands.
Ard Bit :: Field Recordings – 03 Poland (Self Released)
Unlike the previous release, on 03 Poland, Ard Bits adds what he calls ‘ambient layers’ back home in Rotterdam.
Bagaski :: Azalea (See Blue Audio)
With its harsh tones contrasted by a bright spectrum of sound, Azalea, also makes the perfect post-winter offering as the season draws to a close and the cold begins to ease that thermal bite. Spring is for flowers.
