bvdub :: 13 (Past Inside the Present)
The emotional resonances of this album would seem to be marred by writing a review that cannot, by its very nature, encompass the fluxing changes of musical flow and depth captured on 13. Just listen to it and be swept into a world that’s always changing, fates of people and nations rising and falling. This is something we should be unconcerned about, and instead offer our trust, care and love back to the world.
Alva Noto :: Xerrox Vol. 5 (Noton)
As a career-spanning series of albums, not every Xerrox volume is likely to appeal to everyone, but it remains a breathtaking, timeless set of ambient albums unlike anything else in Alva Noto’s now extensive canon.
Everyday Dust :: Petroglyph X and The Fractured Veil (Dustopian Frequencies)
As with every trip into outer and inner places, there is much to ruminate on here after the return home. Further sessions haven’t proved to exhaust what is opened up here, but have only served to expose the many doors along the cobwebbed corridor where one can be drawn into further phantasmal realms.
Ümlaut :: Un Être Humain Ordinaire (Audiobulb)
Sounds puncture space, and things float to the surface. It’s just another ordinary day for being human and listening to music when the smallest detail might make the biggest waves.
Dött Ljus :: Bottna (Slowcraft)
A successful and continuously pleasant album that pushes the senses with its serene atmosphere. Imagine an impossible meeting between Farben, Thomas Brinkmann, Purl, Mind over MIDI, Mike Slott, and Malmö; but also with an avenue to experiment within a handful of bright, flourishing and drifting ideas.
Ben Lukas Boysen :: Alta Ripa (Erased Tapes)
Boysen, in sum, steers these definitive high-level productions as some of the finest on the planet. Creating an engrossing auditory experience of controlled chaos, Alta Ripa transports entangled technoid versus atmospheric coordinates that simply do not hold back.
Luca Bevacqua :: Alpi Graie e Pennine EP (Detroit Underground)
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 […]
