Overall, The Vinyl Loop is a breath of fresh air as it brings the ambient genre into an area that is specific; not too esoteric, but not too beat-heavy. It all seems deliberate and balanced in my ears.

Clark :: Body Riddle (Remastered) (Warp)
Well, this month it appears that one of my calls is answered with the repress of Clark’s 2006 Body Riddle—not only that, but it’s accompanied by a new collection of previously-unreleased and hard-to-find works, 05-10.
Cuadroped :: inurmaul EP (Heterodox)
There’s a gritty and nostalgic flare surrounding inurmaul by Cuadroped; downtempo beatwork rolled up into bite size tracks ranging from 60 to 150 seconds is no ordinary feat.
Fleck E.S.C. :: 486.134 EP (Science Cult)
If an AI were tasked with cross-pollinating Thomas Dolby with Photek, it might sound a lot like this funky, freaky, frantic masterpiece.
User Friendly :: APF7U (Detroit Underground)
Whether APF7U is user friendly or not is debatable, nonetheless, User Friendly provides ample glitched-out and sliced’n diced electronics shifting from broken rhythmic forms to more coherent threads.
Microfilm :: O/V/N/I (Self Released)
After several dreamy ups and downs, in the end, artists Matthew Mercer and Matt Keppel are on to something; something almost cinematic.
V/A :: INFOHAZARD (Renraku)
INFOHAZARD exemplifies Renraku’s vision of releasing audible tectonic plates scraping against each other like we’ve not heard before.

We Are Robots provides plenty of brittle collisions and polished sonic artifacts with curious melodies and briskly shuffled rhythms…

Ravaged clicks and mangled machinery aplenty, Conder-Rhyptik packs a baffling punch to the senses; an impenetrable sonic foray sitting comfortably on the outer edges of an expanding universe
Nike_Vomita :: TUN011 (Móatún 7)
Glitchy strands morphed with an acid tinge, electronica, techno, and heavy bass thuds, found sounds and blissful melodies swirl.
rand :: Peripherie (Self Released)
rand offers minuscule audio Polaroids where abstract pitter-patter notes glide with highly-tensioned strings vibrating in the most unusually calming tangents.
