Both subtle and saturated with distilled microsound layers, Alpi Graie e Pennine is simply otherworldly and comes highly recommended.

Yair Elazar Glotman & Mats Erlandsson :: Glory Fades (XKatedral)
All in all, a shimmering, beautiful, bold, nostalgic and carefully crafted ambient album that will also please fans of classical minimalism (Lou Harrisson, John Luther Adams), Steve Tibbetts’ Northern Song, as well as Appalachian / primitive guitar soundscapes with an experimental and soothing atmospheric tendency.
Wil Bolton :: South of the Lake (quiet details)
Warmly recommended for those who are into textural, timbral, sculpted, and discreetly melodic minimal ambient works forged by Harold Budd, Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana, and […]
Liam Kramer-White & Sun Yizhou :: Technically incorrect
Factory Label Shipping Express is an album released at the end of 2024 by Sun Yizhou and Liam Kramer-White. Sun Yizhou is a Beijing-based experimental musician who also runs the Aloe label.

Phillip Golub :: Loop 7 (greyfade)
With its emphasis on subtle variation and harmonic innovation, Loop 7 is a compelling listen for fans of experimental music and microtonal compositions, inviting deeper engagement with every spin. This is a standout release for both Golub and Greyfade.
V/A :: Sampler IV (Facade Electronics)
Northern Mexico’s Facade Electronics’ annual compilation titled Sampler IV (aka Sampler IV. Present and future. Facade Electronics 2020-2025) shifts into their fourth of the series, representing fourteen tracks that spark and shimmer at all the right angles.
Bernhard Living :: Technological Lessness
Upon listening to Bernhard Living’s output, the music is extremely minimalistic and doesn’t actively try to be challenging in some way; so with how little there is that’s happening, I immediately knew that this was coming from someone who knew what they were doing.
Fennesz :: Mosaic (Touch)
Mosaic is yet another valid addition to Fennesz’s already spotless catalog. Among the many ambient records I’ve heard this year, Fennesz thankfully reminds us of what ambient music can be when it is done in an original way, rather than offering the usual pulp of clean synth pads with some string arrangements.
Taylor Made Trilogy Turns to Ash (Nettwerk)
Just in is news of continuation of a new chapter on Nettwerk with the release of Ash, rounding off his EP trilogy, initiated with Eev (igloo-’viewed) and Aer, with its conceptual theme of a ‘life arc’ from exciting new beginnings to the darkness of dealing with life’s challenges.
