Think of all of the most highly regarded compilations of this ilk, and I think you will find fewer with such a rich and diverse selection of artists, coming together to deliver a tour de force of ambient.

f5point6 :: Clinical Trials (See Blue Audio)
The album is a surplus of saturated sonic surprises nestled carefully between atmospheric elements and delicately woven electronics…
V/A :: Tomb of Primordials (Cryo Chamber)
The temple here is made of plano-convex mudbrick, not fixed with mortar or cement, so that the spirits of the dead (etimmu) can seek absolution for their unknown sins, or find resolution of the idea that one can transgress a divine prohibition without knowing it.
Fields We Found :: Paths (Fluid Audio)
You can see things come and go, slowly, your ears filtering a view into the past, but all there is to claim contains only a mirage and fog. Keep watching a landscape that never seems to change but it probably does.
Aware :: Requiem For A Dying Animal (Glacial Movements)
Another clear candidate for best album of the year, as usual with Glacial Movements, Requiem For A Dying Animal goes beyond simple ambient music spectrums…
Offthesky / Soysea :: Anatomy of Infinity / Oriens (Handstitched*)
The split format puts some work from two artists together, you can treat it like one whole album, you can think of it as two different personalities, you can compare this and that, you can count the differences, you can search for similarities, you can find lots of ideas.
Missing Scenes :: Sturgeon Moon/Beaver Moon EP (Earth In Sound)
What I am hearing is perfect for exploring the interplay between the natural and synthetic, the light and haze, and the designed and the unexpected.
Aelk Minsur :: Ground Redux (Self Released)
The Arizonian continues to find buried treasures in the form of bumpy dark-beat morsels, agitating and stirring them to create surreal and dystopian landscapes.
elshuffles :: Who Bang The Noise (Safety)
Who Bangs The Noise offers fifteen tracks, tangling a myriad of found sounds, subtle clicks, and atmospheric layers traversing an emotional power.
EA & Θ :: Sense Less (Adventurous Music)
An array of buzzing synths and found-sounds are meticulously connected as the dynamic between controlled and improvised electronics coalesces.
Less Bells :: “Feral Ghosts Of The Golden West” video premiere from The Drowned Ground (Meadows Heavy)
The 3d release from Less Bells invites the listener on a tour of deep time, wind mountain villages, secret caverns and Victorian parlors.
