“A mosaic of the human experience,” indeed, Carbon Based Shrine is a somber, illbient-tinged, and introspectively dark soundscape with sporadic bursts of lighter parts piercing through the ashes.

Taylor Deupree :: Sti.ll (Nettwerk / 12k / Greyfade)
Sti.ll is overall smoother and more pleasant, which is really fitting for the intimate and subtle sentiment of the original LP, making it a re-listen that fans of the original should not miss out on.
NRV :: Seasons Beyond the Ashes (See Blue Audio)
Introspective moods are cultivated here with pastoral synth washes and mesmeric floating chords. Yet the wisps of sadness in these short pieces do not linger for too long, as winter has given way to spring rains and new shoots of life emerge out of the soil. Even if that soil has been damaged.
Abul Mogard & Rafael Anton Irisarri :: Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close (Black Knoll Editions)
Impossibly Distant, Impossibly Close is a brooding and at the same time priceless contemplative effort for entrancing noises, velveting drones and revered guitar phrasings.
±vMcÇ :: err051-v-mcc (Clean Error)
The degree of abstraction in ±vMcÇ’s work is astounding. Warped glitches and breaks splatter across the terrain, gathering heavily processed found sounds, braindance components, and arcane rhythms into a disorganized muddle.
Aelk Minsur :: MΩ Test Report (Self Released)
Aelk Minsur constantly mines for intensely textured industrial and electronic soundscapes, and he succeeds once more with MΩ Test Report.
Dark Sky Alliance :: Interdwell (Spotted Peccary Music)
This album is thought to be organized in chapters, and each chapter best represents an evolving sound poem or improvisational mnemonic device, based on an evolving intergalactic culture. Now step through the portal and leave everything behind, enter Interdwell time.
Oberman Knocks :: Khaptop Arc Phore EP (Errorgrid)
Errorgrid, who keep putting out darker sounds of the present future, opens UK-based Nigel Truswell’s account under his Oberman Knocks moniker. Khaptop Arc Phore then takes the imprints theme a step further with a four-track blackened IDM flood of distilled soundscapes.
