Experimental Electronic Music
With its emphasis on subtle variation and harmonic innovation, Loop 7 is a compelling listen for fans of experimental music and microtonal compositions, inviting deeper engagement with every spin. This is a standout release for both Golub and Greyfade.
Ultimately, my blurry left eye is saturated with color, and also veers off course with braindance and heavier industrial mechanics (“crash-70557”) that effectively highlights Jon Benderr’s wide sonic reach.
These gentle, brief, and succinct soundscapes are resonant and melodious as they drift and cascade, enabling Mantle of Gets to deliver a relaxing piano-focused album that simply soothes the senses.
Erratic yet unusually serene, offering a glimpse into a kaleidoscope of off-kilter synth sketches, rough IDM underpinnings, and sprinkling mellifluous tones around the margins.
It is, indeed, a record featuring collaborators from all around the world, from jazz musicians, to classical, to spoken poetry, there is a lot to explore, with each track also being an enjoyable experience—it’s not just variety for the sake of it, there’s a lot of effort everywhere here!
What is the difference between abandoned and forsaken? Dark tension, pounding under sustained horror and tension. This goes on forever. We are tourists here, and can go at any time. Peering into the darkness, we linger.
The atmosphere herein simply spills over non-existent—perhaps even floating—boundaries with a surplus of instrumental virtuosity, roughened textures, and vaporous brittle tones that time shift and alter before our own eyes.
A convincing album which can easily seduce avid listeners of ritualistic soundscapes where acoustic instrumental elements are melted with ambient-cinematic epicness.

The homage to epic and neo-mythological science fiction novels from classic-era is implicitly brought up to the fore. Thus this soundtrack can be well recommended while reading visionary literature from Arthur Machen and Henry Rider Haggard where heavenly mysticism meets dark energies and horror stories.
Both Martin Boulton (aka Min-Y-Llan, Touched Music founder) and Jeroen Bax (aka exm) build incredibly surreal audio worlds. As their earlier releases were characterized as a “real demonstration of powerful synergy,” this eponymous release draws a recognizable pulse.
