Experimental Electronic Music
As a first collaboration of David and Scott, the feeling is immediately harmonically balanced and calming, the overall flow allows for sightseeing while you are napping. Cinematic tinkling satisfying hearts and minds, two chill guys, gentle souls making lovely music. Through the Thought Horizon is a melodic, beautiful, and deeply resonant album.
Hollan Holmes delivers a conceptual ambient-electronic album that energizes beauty, while considering decay, aging, and the passage of time. This could act in a sonic parallel to Holmes’ visual art, celebrating the unconventional elegance of oxidation and endurance.
Kaleidoscope reveals more hidden dimensions and interpretations of the marvelous world around us, an autobiographical journey through the creative life itself, cyclical rather than linear in form. The feeling is enriching and complex, more listening unlocks more new territories.
The overall feeling of Unfolding Skies definitely more energizing than meditative. The larger collaborative project is an homage to pre-1975 Berlin-school/Krautrock music, all electronic, usually in a journey format, and ranging from free-form beatless episodes and power rock electric guitar vocabularies with stunning drum-like percussion sounds.
On Lumen, Chris Russell trades the shadowed tones of Noir (Projekt, 2024) for radiant piano-laced atmospheres that echo his debut Labyrinth on Spotted Peccary Music, crafting eight luminous soundscapes that feel like stepping through a veil into widening light.

No crowns, no rankings, no runners-up—only records that resonated.

Flow (Remastered) reintroduces Jon Jenkins’ unmistakable blend of sincerity, power, and cinematic depth, a sound that has captivated listeners for more than twenty-five years. Living at the crossroads of ambient, electronic, and instrumental rock, the album remains a transportive journey through vast imaginary landscapes.
On Rendering Time, electronic artist Deborah Martin and woodwind composer Jill Haley craft an immersive soundscape where acoustic and electronic elements merge in a journey through time, space, and memory. Blurring the line between the human and the elemental, each track becomes a precise rendering of a world both ancient and imagined.
The Precious Dark is an invitation to drift, to dissolve, to explore the places between atoms and memory. With the promise of the precious wonder that lies in shadow, here darkness is celebrated, with surprises, haunted territories, and the tingling horror of wonderful black shadows.
iota was created to be received on several levels, both conceptually and sonically. Various instruments and features of the mix represent spatial locations in an imaginary landscape: ground, horizon, and sky, for example.
