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 certainly has our ears peeled for what’s in the pipeline as this EP needs a companion piece.

A seriously tough and targeted collection of harsher electronics.
D’Arcangelo :: Somewhere in time
