Urschaum :: Dimensional Transient (Component)
These are soundtracks for forgotten horizons—the kind viewed distinctly on the project’s cover—where each composition unfolds in barren sequences of industrial hum, muffled turbulence, distant resonance, and vast auditory plateaus that seem to stretch without end.
Day Before Us :: Dim Shores of Eternity (Les Nouvelles Propagandes)
A culmination of everything Day Before Us has cultivated over the past decade, while venturing into even more radiant, immersive terrain. For listeners willing to let go and drift in its pull, Dim Shores of Eternity is one of the most beautiful and haunting releases of the year—a spiritual monument built from silence, sorrow, and sublime sound.

By operating outside of the playlist protocol, Big Blood have once again given us something that goes beyond the test of temporary style. This is music for deep listening in the deep time of Deep Maine, and it shall abide.
Rafael Anton Irisarri :: A Fragile Geography 10th Anniversary Reissue (Black Knoll Editions)
There is a geography of the soul that Rafael Anton Irisarri mapped out in 2015, a cartography drawn with electrified mists, torn soundscapes, and submerged melancholies. A Fragile Geography, his third release on Room40 (see our 2016 review here), spoke at the time with a dark and hushed voice, the echo of an emotionally fractured era. Now, ten years later, the album returns in a newly curated edition by Black Knoll Editions.

V/A :: Fauna, curated by Ocoeur (n5MD)
Designed to awaken compassion and connection, this collection reminds us that every species has its place—and right—on this planet we collectively call home.
Nitrada :: Everything That Is Not Counted Will Be Lost (2nd rec)
This auditory sojourn—marked by vibrant global hues and elusive, abstract textures—fractures and fuses in unexpected ways, blurring the lines between composition and instinct.
Intergalactic Mechanic :: Contact Protocol (elasticStage)
A lean, potent assembly of forward-driving electro-nics, Contact Protocol stands as a formidable blueprint of timeless audio architecture—each track a microcosm of future-forward engineering and past-memory echoes.
AES DANA :: Leylines (Remaster 2025) (Ultimae)
With newly enhanced clarity, remastered Leylines reveals hidden dimensions and subtle details—glimpses of nostalgia mingling with visions of uncharted sonic futures. A cornerstone of celestial downtempo, it remains a calm yet exploratory experience that continues to resonate.
