The fifteen vignettes that these pieces offer are rather similar in atmosphere throughout disc 1, but a significant shift happens once you reach the unnerving nature of the second disc; though the first isn’t easy either, it does leave a lot more room for relaxing and somewhat reassuring natural sounds…

Robin Parmar :: Citalá, River of Stars (Silent)
Contemporary pieces that reflect the ancient idea of the music of the spheres into the world of contemplative electronica.
David Newlyn :: Encouraged To Lose (Sound In Silence)
Each of these five pieces shows a melodic drift, slow, hazy and shimmering in the background. It’s like an organ melody set against the blurry tones of whatever else is happening, which can’t be easily heard.
Echaskech :: Novacene (VLSI)
A soundtrack in which its single moments are most definitely enjoyable and work as such, portraying a good variety of different imaginary scenarios that are apt to the album’s concept.
Poppy H :: Confidence Of Crisis EP (Cruel Nature)
Poppy H creates dubby, almost aquatic sound structures that are characterized by a downtempo lo-fi feel and whirling electrical debris fields.
Michael Trommer :: Spectral Sound System (Panospria / No Type)
Delivering a variety of soundscapes blended in unison, the extended piece exudes ambient, drone, experimental, field recording, and minimal characteristics.
Yard :: Field Recorded (Yard Rec)
At times some birds join in, overall compared to the tracks before that, I hear a softer wind sound and enjoy the sensation of extended existential ambience.
Ümlaut :: Half the Speed of Light (Self Released)
Jeff Düngfelder (also known as Ümlaut) develops a musique concrète resource and minuscule time-capsules to lose yourself within.
Daiki F :: A Walk in the Countryside (Rednetic)
Overall, I feel a recharging of positive energy, higher energy levels, and a purification of negative thoughts, nice and slow with some gem false endings, when things seem to settle down to wrap up, and then starts back up again.
