Aelk Minsur constantly mines for intensely textured industrial and electronic soundscapes, and he succeeds once more with MΩ Test Report.

yibai :: Hatch + Foster EP (EXILES)
The whole collection is a sharp and perplexing journey across experimental terrain that’s a step ahead of itself.
Oberman Knocks :: Khaptop Arc Phore EP (Errorgrid)
Errorgrid, who keep putting out darker sounds of the present future, opens UK-based Nigel Truswell’s account under his Oberman Knocks moniker. Khaptop Arc Phore then takes the imprints theme a step further with a four-track blackened IDM flood of distilled soundscapes.
4T Thieves :: Unseeing Eyes (Rednetic)
4T Thieves consistently releases intricate audio sculptures and visual displays, dousing every layer with a profusion of sharp beats and ethereal atmospheres encircled by brittle kaleidoscope rhythms, diverse found sounds, and faint vocal extracts.
Focal Point :: Manufactured Superstition / Statecraft (The Collection Artaud)
Focal Point drafts a clear-cut yet sophisticated sonic statement by combining throbbing yet subtly nuanced bass with gloomy ambient and downtempo timbres. Absolutely riveting.
Second Seasons :: Immense Heaven (Schematic)
The high-level experimental electronic grooves that Second Seasons derives are utterly perplexing as the album moves forward with intense propulsion.
Yella Gin :: I Was a Satellite of the Sun (Mestnost)
Although this album is set in space, its aural compositions combine technoid patterns, braindance, IDM, ambient, downtempo, and microscopic grooves with brittle melodic components that, in this limited edition cassette and digital release, manage to function nicely together here on Planet Earth.
Damage Multiplier :: Damage_Multiplier (Self Released)
The few, abstract transitions are filled with tremulous frequencies that we simply can’t escape from, and in the end, it’s clearly an intoxicatingly surreal and recommended album for late-night listening.
WE FORFEIT :: Radio Relativa #40 — Mamvt Electronics 9/16/23 @ Killing Time
Arquiola and Nahuel are members of Mamvt Electonics and the two brought two bags full of electronic gold. We had two hours recorded live with tracks from Aphex Twin, Berceuse Heroique, Hieroglyphic Being, Tin Man, Secret Studio Records, Wolfskuil and more.
M-Paths :: Submerge (Mighty Force)
So while some tracks are more uplifting and others are mostly immersive, the aesthetic bond is M-Paths’ particular way of choosing timbres, effects and textures and laying down the melodies.
Fallen :: Midnight Poems for Lost Seasons and Cripple Hearts (Móatún 7)
I think this is very good sounding ambient atmospheric pop, employing bass with keys, guitar, a touch of percussion sometimes and always within a framework of wonderful spacey electronics with some etheric vocals too.
