Whereas before we heard two bold creatives combining two distinct styles, this time it’s one creative producing a soundtrack focused on a tangible game world. A soundtrack that leaps between depth and fragility.

Michael Valentine West :: p23-6 (Kaer’Uiks)
With Michael Valentine West as our trail leader, these fragmented and fragile ambient/dreamlike sounds offer us the clarity and focus needed to energize and push us forward.
Zoon van snooK :: Se•pa•ra•ción (Lo Recordings)
Although this album is vastly different from the meandering, playful electronics his fans might be used to, there are similarities if you listen closely. Each piece is more like a musical postcard, rather than a complete piece of music.
Part Timer :: Reaching Ends (Analogue Chat)
The tracks are brief but they’re also snapshots of sheer elegance and as such, their length is therefore arguably perfect from a qualitative perspective as they make you want to listen again and again.
Kilowatts :: Six Silicates (Remastered) & Eight Experiments (Kilowatts Music)
Thankfully our shared, imposed cultural down-time seems to have yielded a prolific bloom of creativity and beautiful work from countless artists and craftspeople.
Seigo Aoyama :: On The Drift (Audiobulb)
Darker strands mix with lightened pitter-patter tones that simply fade away. These unusually magnetic sonic traverses detail organic, nostalgic, and atmospheric forays that should be absorbed as a whole to even begin to capture its aural glow.
Marihiko Hara & Polar M :: Music For Home Vol. 1: Our Season EP (mü-nest)
A well rounded, well produced and very subtle melodic interval, drifting from quiet scenes of snow falling minimal synthetic leads to some of my favourite lo-fi, imperfect sound effects and noise ridden atmospheres.
Infinite Scale :: A Little Tale of Forest Lewis (Ecoshock)
Swelling strings and a meditative piano line play out the end of the release. The stylistic detour into pure-ambient suits Palda’s skills well and overall A Little Tale of Forest Lewis is a soothing, well-crafted listen.
