µ-Ziq :: Grush (Planet Mu)
Presenting an array of emotive tunes that show how delicate and sensible Mike Paradinas’ way of composing music, which not only emanates positive and rather light approaches in music expression, but makes a statement on how electronic music can be graceful and yet intriguing.
Fluorescent Grey :: Smelted (Katabatik)
The closing piece feels like a culmination of all that’s transpired as “Everything Is Turning Into Steam” scrapes up all the pieces in a slanted braindance/jazz assemblage and allows this release to explore a new chapter in the experimental electronics scene.
Cosmos In Collision :: The Passage Of Time (Sun Sea Sky)
Sometimes the constant listener might be passing right through the lines between ambient-electronica and post-rock, with layers of shimmering synths and gone distant etherial guitars.
Morakh :: Helix (Mestnost)
Encompassing distant field recordings, nostalgic IDM from a bygone era, and the bewilderment of how sound can alter one’s emotions, the plethora of positive grooves on this recording are endless.
iNFO :: Parallel Realities (Touched Music)
The tracks on this release show such carefully constructed rhythms, with no hi-hat out of place, and each rhythm synergetically adding to the establishing layers of sound to create something much greater than the sum of its parts.
Broken Chip :: The Quiet Garden (Self Released)
Capturing light sources to create calm atmospheres, the featured compositions are as nostalgic as they are contemporary and offer quiet tidbits for a wonderful diversion.
V/A :: We Are Reasonable People (Warp) — 26 years later!
A memorable snapshot of an era which many longtime Warp aficionados think of fondly as representing the very pinnacle of the label’s musical prowess, and for anyone wishing to delve further into Warp’s back catalog, a handy list of every WAP (singles and EPs with catalog numbers from 1 to 99) and WARP (albums with catalog numbers from 1 to 55) release up to that time was included inside the compilation’s CD booklet.
