Overall impression: I really enjoy these tunes, but it’s clear that whatever rabbit holes Aphex Twin has been down in the last 30 years, he’s still fixated on the sounds and vibes he constructed in the early 90s.

V/A :: Touched By Silence (#2) (Touched Music)
Think of all of the most highly regarded compilations of this ilk, and I think you will find fewer with such a rich and diverse selection of artists, coming together to deliver a tour de force of ambient.
Alberta Balsam :: 15_Billion Elektrovolt EP (Clone/Dub)
Alberta Balsam certainly has our ears peeled for what’s in the pipeline as this EP needs a companion piece.
f5point6 :: Clinical Trials (See Blue Audio)
The album is a surplus of saturated sonic surprises nestled carefully between atmospheric elements and delicately woven electronics…
Cathopsis :: Cathopsis (Component)
A seriously tough and targeted collection of harsher electronics.
D’Arcangelo :: Somewhere in time
This summer, Aphex Twin chose D’Arcangelo to open for his show in Verona, Italy. In other words, this is the perfect occasion for a thorough retrospective interview with the experimental twins.
Mōshonsensu :: Izanagi & Izanami (Self Released)
Once in a while a release lands in your ears that grasps you and won’t let you go, and this time for me it’s Izanagi & Izanami by Mōshonsensu.
2view :: 4T Thieves & Cognition Delay (Mahorka)
Both albums reveal abstract electronics and downtempo layers with Abdicant and Pandacetamol remixing tracks on 4T Thieves’ album.
Obelisk Ruins :: Thought-Vision-Doubt (Katuktu Collective)
Blissfully encapsulated psychedelic downtempo from the past inside the present.
Dragon :: Sonance Manifold (Point Source Electronic Arts)
Pummeling percussive onslaughts, post-industrial glitch extracts, and condensed data processing seem to be the focal point, while Dragon’s persistent and futuristic audio/visual scope operates at the highest level.
Aelk Minsur :: Ground Redux (Self Released)
The Arizonian continues to find buried treasures in the form of bumpy dark-beat morsels, agitating and stirring them to create surreal and dystopian landscapes.
