Tides tells a story, has a vision, and is not just a collection of works as so many albums fell foul of.

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.
V/A :: INFOHAZARD (Renraku)
INFOHAZARD exemplifies Renraku’s vision of releasing audible tectonic plates scraping against each other like we’ve not heard before.
Le Perche Oreille :: We Are Robots (Concrete Collage)
We Are Robots provides plenty of brittle collisions and polished sonic artifacts with curious melodies and briskly shuffled rhythms…
Boy Is Fiction :: Deeper Than Static (n5MD)
Boy Is Fiction extends both ends of the sonic spectrum: going deeper into complex, cinematic sound design for ambient passages and cranking up the intricacy of his glitchy, multilayered beats.
Oberman Knocks :: Conder-Rhyptik (Aperture) — Track premiere
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.
Precenphix :: Off-Axis (Not Yet Remembered)
Hinting at industrial, glitch, IDM, clicks, and disjointed cuts wrapped around technoid structures, it’s so jam-packed, that it’s a challenge to unfold each layer; this is a good thing.
Illocanblo :: Maze (Rednetic)
There are albums that build up gradually, and then there are albums that simply propel like a rocket right from the start. Maze follows the later trajectory.
ANKUBU :: RX_71_0 (Subtrakt)
Dilapidated structures and sub-structures deform on RX_71_0 casting blistered symphonies submerged in devastating rhythms.
