Brain Rays :: Slime (Acroplane)
Slime unearths powerful rhythms while at the same time uncovering unique sub-genres that coalesce on this multifaceted and heavy-duty album.
Dodds Phil :: Many Moons Ago (Waxing Crescent)
Brittle electrical fields of sound that explore futuristic sculptures jump between breaks, downtempo, funk, dub, roughened techno, and magnetized hip-hop.

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.
