While the new world struggles to be born, people all round this dying old world cannot help but keep making music. Too many, frankly. Please stop. Anyway, I cannot help but keep playing you all this incredible music, postpunkindustrialdubjunglegamelanglitchjazzfolkclassical, as those in the know call it *taps nose* LISTEN AGAIN to the music of the spheres. Stream on demand from fbi.radio, podcast here. Laeter – Isolate [Laeter Bandcamp] Laeter – Leibowitz [Laeter Bandcamp] Liam Bosecke is based on Kaurna country, in Adelaide, and he’s founded a creative community called Empty Frames that aims to raise mental health awareness. His latest album as Laeter is released via that platform, but is of course available on Bandcamp (and in a handsome CD edition!) Blanket Doubt is a wonderful thing that kind of answers the question, “What if indietronica except slow-moving industrial dub?” Intense distorted drum machines and synthetic screeches underscore almost-spoken vocals, or shudder and crash under New Order-esque synth melodies. Pure perverted pleasure. Damos Room – All Shall Go [Long Gone/Bandcamp] Damos Room – Gullet (Dirty Protest) [Long Gone/Bandcamp] Last time I played Damos Room on the show was a mere month ago. I wrote at the time: I’m not sure who Damos is or what’s in their Room, but signs point to it being three guys: Luke Miles, Nicholas Elson & Huw Oleskar. I’ve just found out (because they told me, nothing underhand) that Huw Oleskar is also known as Elijah Minnelli, responsible for some of the most interesting and lovely dub-folk hybrids in recent times, ostensibly under the auspices of Breadminster County Council. As for Damos Room, you can find a series of fantastic, weirdly-shaped releases on their Bandcamp, including a mixtape of two bizarre 40-minute radio pieces, some quasi-singles of abstracted dub/spoken-word/electronics, and the experimental electronics of their collaboration with rapper LYAM, which I played on this show a few years back. So, a month ago I played something from Walk With The Militia, a vaguely-album-shaped item that wasn’t actually their new album – rather it’s a mixtape, entirely in keeping with the mystery what all this is about. It collects – I said – a whole lot of weird shit, but it’s all dub-based experimental electronics, with Minnelli’s distinctive spoken word & low-key singing, odd radio interludes and noise bits and so on. It’s really fantastic. So how about All Shall Go, their new album which is really released now? Well, it’s just as murky, weird-shaped and all as the prior mixtape and earlier works. And as with earlier works, there are also some head-nodding beats and bass, and tracks where Oleskar’s voice chants and sings in nearly melodic fashion. Don’t expect pop, dancehall or grime here, but do expect music that’s evocative, challenging, ancient and modern. Do go deep, but don’t miss that mixtape, or 2020’s Commencement either. Carl Gari – Pick’n’Peel [Molten Moods/Bandcamp] Most of us know German band Carl Gari from their incredibly strong albums made with Egyptian singer/trumpeter/poet/composer Abdullah Miniawy, on AD93 and Amphibian Records. Between those two releases, the band & singer released a live album on Molten Moods, and it’s that label that Carl Gari return to now for their self-titled album, forthcoming in June. This is the first single (by the time of writing I’ve heard the second), and it’s just what the doctor ordered – dark, insistent minimal drum’n’bass if it was produced by Depeche Mode circa Songs of Faith and Devotion, a very specific reference that probably only makes sense to me 🖤 Fez The Kid & BRUK – Original Secret [RuptureLDN/Bandcamp] Two young junglists from Bristol tearin’ it up on this new EP, their first for the iconic jungle-revival label RuptureLDN. These guys really know their jungle originals and are making the kind of tracks that wouldn’t have been out of place in an East London club circa ’93. Both Fez The Kid & BRUK have a number of EPs to their names, but have also worked together for a while, and DJ back2back as well. Turn up yr subs and feel the bass pressure while the snares go renegade. Rrrrrrrince out! A.Fruit – I Left You [YUKU/Bandcamp] A.Fruit – Choice [YUKU/Bandcamp] Anna Derlemenko aka A.Fruit is a Ukrainian music producer, born in Moscow, but her family relocated to Spain after Russia’s war on Ukraine. She co-runs the Distorted Barcelona club and does a lot of music production training & tips on her Patreon – in fact, the first track I played tonight is the subject of a full track breakdown there, and she’s shared the full Ableton project. Her productions are consistently adventurous, mixing up genres and manipulating sounds while remaining dancefloor friendly, and that’s certainly the case on her new EP Choice for the one & only YUKU. She’s an artist I’ll never not recommend. upsammy & Valentina Magaletti – Superimposed [PAN/Bandcamp] upsammy & Valentina Magaletti – It Comes To An End [PAN/Bandcamp] Dutch producer & DJ upsammy (who visited Sydney recently for Soft Centre) has previously worked the built & natural environment into her music: Germ in a Population of Buildings in 2023 created a whole environment of hallucinatory fauna and automata, repurposing IDM in a similar-but-different way to Eora’s own gi. Valentina Magaletti is one of the most versatile drummer/percussionists working at the moment, found in the postpunk-electronica band Moin, but also remaking kuduro & batida with Afro-Portuguese producer Nídia, a kind of postpunk dub with electronic producer Al Wootton, and plenty of other avant-garde stuff. upsammy & Magaletti’s collaborative album Seismo (yes, it means “earthquake”) came out of a commission from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, for which they sampled the sounds of the museum itself, using its spaces as percussive surfaces, and much of the joy of the album comes from the blurring of live drums and other acoustic rhythms with electronic programming and manipulation. Around & amongst the percussion are snippets of voice (a callback Mageletti’s work with Raime and Moin, albeit applied very differently), strange fragmentary samples of guitar & bass, piano notes stretched thin, slow melodic synths. Mostly delicate, mostly the opposite of an earthquake, these are musical giants striding across our world while imps dance in their footprints. It’s a wonderful album. Hoavi – Song of the Forgotten [Peak Oil] Hoavi – Colossus [Peak Oil] And speaking of imps dancing, Russian producer Hoavi is one of the exemplars of music that sounds like skittering insects and tumbling waterfalls, drawing jungle-ish IDM into dub technoid waters. His second album for Peak Oil, Architectonics, takes those aspects into newer territories, with a bank of samples of percussive sounds from around his house, and inspiration taken from Indonesian gamelan and minimalist composition. For all this though, it’s vintage Hoavi – rhythmically complex, deep sound design. Genius. Foote/Dickow – Underwater Welder [Geographic North/Bandcamp] Peak Oil is run by two Bria/ons – Brion Brionson is the “o” guy, and the other is Brian Foote, who’s been kranky‘s media guy forever as well as running various labels (including Peak Oil just above here!) and playing in various bands. Brian’s also a connoisseur of IDM, electronica & rave in all its variations (solo as Leech), and here he teams up with Paul Dickow, best known as Strategy, maker of much dubwise, ambient & technoid musics and himself co-founder of the Community Library label. High Cube is their first outing together as a duo, and you can feel their shared musical heritage in its bones. Skittering IDM glitchbeats hover above a dub techno skeleton, and there’s a jazzy sensibility to the keyboards. Charming. Richard Pike – III. “August” [Salmon Universe/Bandcamp] Sydney’s Richard Pike, alum of PVT, is now based in London. He can be found in various ensembles, including with Joe Quirke, with whom he co-runs the Salmon Universe label, and under his own name has been making ambient-techno-hybrid-orchestral soundtracks for TV. Outside of that, he’s released solo music under the alias DEEP LEARNING on Oxtail Recordings, based around subtly rhythmic glitchy loops, but now returns to his own name for album that mixes late-night piano and glitchy dub-techno. It’s not surprising to discover that the creation of this music was directly triggered by the death of Ryuichi Sakamoto, but the music takes darker paths than the Japanese master. The full album’s out later in May, and the last single brings in something of the jungle-meets-dub techno we’ve heard a lot of tonight. Laurence Pike – Guardians of Memory [Balmat/Bandcamp] It’s lovely to find Laurence Pike – brother to Richard above – coming out on Philip Sherburne & Albert Salinas‘ Balmat label in late May. Pike was drummer in Pivot/PVT and Triosk, and the hallucinatory melding of live jazz and micro-sampled loops has remained central to his DNA since the start. There’s a trickery at the heart of Possible Utopias for Jazz Quintet, hinted at with “possible”: while there are guests on these tracks, it’s never a jazz quintet, and still predominantly Laurence solo. The “utopias” denote an idea of freedom which Pike is reaching for, in continuity with his last album The Undreamt-of Centre – that people are not atomised individuals but exist interdependently with their environment. And for all that this is a solo album, Pike begins the album with a substantial, sumptuous feature from Eora/Sydney pianist Novak Manojlovic. Utopian indeed. David Norland – E-Car Soul reNYX [Denovali] English composer David Norland, who lives between LA & London, is best known as a soundtrack writer for film and stage, as well as a composer of electronic and experimental choral music. He has an album coming via Denovali called La Source, which is not a soundtrack, but incorporates choral music into its beat-driven electronic framework. Strangely, I didn’t hear the single “E-Car Soul” as choral, but the “reNYX” by UK vocal/electronic collective NYX reworks it into their image, with vocal harmonies and rearranged electronics. Carl Stone & Asuna – Ulna As Ancestor [Room40/Bandcamp] A pioneer of live laptop music, Carl Stone has been at it since the 1980s, and has had a renaissance since Unseen Worlds released a series of his early music on triple LP sets. Stone has for a long time lived between LA and Japan, and on this new CD he’s collaborating with Japanese artist Asuna Arashi, whose toy instruments are sampled and processed by Stone and then handed by to Arashi for her to rework and… send back to Stone. With all these layers of processing, it’s not often easy to make out the original toy instruments, but it’s pretty immersive, experimental but friendly. In keeping with a lot of Stone’s own work, the titles are all anagrams of “Carl Stone Asuma”, all of which are unreasonably good (“A Nacreous Slant”? “Nascent Arousal”!) Loom & Thread – Spheres [Macro/Bandcamp] A few years ago, German jazz trio Loom & Thread released their debut album Island Grammar on macro rec. Pianist Tom Schneider is known as “frontman” of the live techno act KUF, playing as lead instrument the sampler. On Loom & Thread’s debut, Schneider at least played piano primarily, albeit sampled and processed live, as were the double bass of Tobi Fröhlich and the drums of Daniel Klein. For their follow-up Bandcamp, Schneider is well and truly a sampler-player (although yes, piano’s in there too), triggering & manipulating samples of two saxophonists and two vibraphone players (one of whom is drummer Daniel Klein). The samples’ use can range from chaotic scatter to undulant layers, around which is constructed a form of contemporary jazz. It’s weirder than their first album, but just as enjoyable. You can see them playing some of this live here, with Fröhlich also alternating between double bass & sampler. Christian Wallumrød Ensemble – Not new to [Aspen Edities/Bandcamp] It’s seems like yesterday – well OK, it was only last week – when I was talking about the richness of the Norwegian (and generally, Nordic) music scene(s), highlighting among others the stunning new solo album from saxophonist, singer, composer etc Espen Reinertsen. Reinertsen’s album was released on SusannaSonata, run by the artist known as Susanna or Susanna and the Magical Orchestra, who is also Susanna Wallumrød. She’s the youngest of a family of musicians – as well as their cousin, jazz pianist David Wallumrød, her brother Fredrik Wallumrød is a drummer of mainly rock & pop, and the oldest of the lot is pianist Christian Wallumrød (born in 1971 – Susanna was born in 1979), a renowned jazz pianist & keyboard player, whose eponymous Ensemble have released a series of albums on ECM Records. Christian & Fredrik also release music made of drum machines & synths as Brutter (also here) – glitchy, arhythmic synthetic grooves. Anyway, last week I remarked on the uncanny beauty of Reinertsen’s album, and there’s something similarly bewitching, gorgeous but slightly wrong about the music on the Christian Wallumrød Ensemble’s latest album Non Sonett, released by Belgian post-folk/jazz label Aspen Edities. The label specialises in acoustic experimental music by and large, but does slip sideways into electronics at times, and so does this latest album, where minimalist jazz compositions sidle up to Norwegian folk and haunted electronics, while remaining utterly restrained throughout. You may think this would sound cold & difficult, but it’s not: it’s engrossing and delightful, like Penguin Cafe Orchestra recording Talk Talk’s last albums, Keith Jarrett jamming Sunn O))), Henry Purcell discovering free jazz. If you only listen to one Norwegian jazz/folk record this week, make it this one (but don’t stop there). tokesmo – 02.02 [tokesmo Bamdcamp] tokesmo – 01 [tokesmo Bandcamp] Andrea B of doom/psych/metal trio Morkobot is tokesmo, a project in which he combines field recordings and found sounds with electronics. Two EPs launch the project; on tksm 01 it’s more sound-art and noise than rhythms, while tksm 02 transforms found sounds into percussive instruments for its IDM-meets-industrial beats. Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, Macie Stewart – paper folding | disappearing [International Anthem/Bandcamp] Whitney Johnson, Lia Kohl, Macie Stewart – laundry | blood [International Anthem/Bandcamp] Last year I played a track from a trio of Chicago-based women who were all string players and singers – in fact, I loved it so much I played it in Part 2 of my Best of 2025. Whitney Johnson on viola, Lia Kohl on cello and Macie Stewart on violin don’t just all sing – they all operate various tape machines, into which they feed their sounds and alchemically transmute their playing & singing into dusty loops. You can see this gorgeous transformation happening in real time in this video. Last year’s “stone | piece” was one partially improvised composition that’s part of the BODY SOUND album now released by Chicago (post-?)jazz institution International Anthem. There’s a surprising variety of sound here – string drones melting into tape hiss are part of it, but so are plucked prepared cello, loops glitched through manipulated recording heads, deconstructed folk melodies and quasi-classical accompaniments to angelic singing, squalling loops played at triple-time and roaring bass as the cello is pitched down multiple octaves. An extraordinary album like no other. Hara Alonso – A Second is a Choir (feat. Lia Kohl) [FUU/Bandcamp] Lia Kohl also turns up as one guest on the brilliant new EP Music of Many Nows from Stockholm-based Spanish sound-artist Hara Alonso. Here, Alonso combines accidental and casual recordings of life going by, combined with recordings of a nearby choir, a found piano and a couple of guests, and makes beautifully cracked vignettes, much deeper musically than this method would suggest. Honestly this couldn’t be more Utility Fog, and I love it so much. Daniel O’Toole – Breathing Colour [Cascade Rumble Records] Naarm-based artist & musician Daniel O’Toole was based here in Eora until a few years back, and was responsible for a lot of well-loved street art under the name Ears. Accompanying that were a few albums of funky instrumental hip-hop as Captain Earwax, but these days Daniel is emphasising the more abstract, gallery-friendly side of his art – gorgeous colour gradients and textures that you can sample here – and musically he’s making incredible custom-built instruments alongside his own strings, keyboard playing, percussion etc: check out the particle plate and the particle drum. Hand-made gestural instruments like this are at the core of O’Toole’s new album Outer Magnolia, but equally there’s a lot of acoustic sounds here – folktronica but not like your Daddy made it. Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken – Nothing Moves In Me [Sleep In The Fire Records] London-based Scottish musician Euan Alexander Millar-McMeeken has recorded a lot of solo ambient music as glacis, and led indie/folk band The Kays Lavelle for many years. He has a substantial number of collaborative projects, many of them duos, all of them wonderful: Graveyard Tapes with Matthew Collings and Civic Hall with Craig Tattersall, Bird Battles with Jesse Narens and now Yoal with Satomimagae. In 2024, Euan released his first album under his full name, All The Weather Of The Human Heart, a deeply moving work that’s a meditation on loss, in which the central vocals & piano are cracked & smudged through digital & analogue means. Similar approaches to sound design are found on the solo follow-up Framed Insects – fragile songs and tape hiss interrupted by distorted beats or glitched into strange structures. Just gorgeous.

Solénoïde (21.04.2025) - Cette semaine, Solénoïde vous propose de franchir l'un de ces passages — un vortex suspendu entre rêve et matière, entre mémoire et avenir. Il a été façonné avec une précision d'orfèvre, par l'un des plus grands architectes du sensible : Thomas Bücker, cerveau du projet Bersarin Quartett, qui nous offre ici un SolénoMix exclusif, dense, mouvant, hautement cinématographique. Alors, installez-vous ! Fermez les yeux ! Ce que vous allez entendre n'est pas un mix, c'est une constellation. Et chaque étoile porte en elle une charge émotionnelle, un souvenir possible, une sensation future...

We are presenting our latest auditory journey curated by Taroug for CLOT Magazine's mixtape series. Taroug is the solo project of drummer and electronic music producer Tarek Zarroug, whose unique perspective is shaped by his roots in the suburbs of the Tunisian desert and his upbringing in Germany. Following his 2020 EP "Perpetual" and a series of notable remixes for artists such as Archive, Taroug has continued to evolve and refine his musical aesthetic. Taroug's debut album, Darts & Kites, was released on Denovali Records. Drawing inspiration from the infinite possibilities of Penrose tiling, the album explores themes of change and transformation. This fascination is reflected in the album's nine tracks and cover art design, creating a cohesive artistic vision. The album presents a captivating blend of genres and styles, resulting in a sonic landscape that is both haunting and beautiful while weaving together experimental and abstract soundscapes with oriental influences, collected field recordings, pulsating dark beats, and hypnotic vocals. Contributions from notable artists further enrich the album: Beate Wolff's cello, Benedikt Koch's saxophone, Timo Schieber's piano, and Niklas Genschel's vocals alongside Abdallah Abozekry's saz. The album artwork, a collaboration with architect and designer Marie Brosius, captures the intricate patterns and ornaments that reflect the album's themes. It emerges as a mosaic of sound, seamlessly blending the unfamiliar with the familiar. For this mixtape, the artist mentions he has combined tracks from his album Darts & Kites with unreleased material, sketches, hidden gems, and inspirations from the Tunisian experimental and electronic music scene.

Solénoïde (24.06.2024) - Pour cette nouvelle Virée Germanique, nous vous invitons à un voyage auditif unique à travers un pays où la créativité et l'innovation se rencontrent pour façonner des paysages sonores inédits. Cette émission est une célébration de l'expérimentation sonore, mettant en avant des artistes qui redéfinissent constamment les contours de la musique contemporaine. Chaque morceau est une preuve de la vitalité et de la créativité de la scène musicale allemande. Ne manquez pas cette aventure captivante !

Next on our mixtape series is Bersarin Quartett, the solo project of German electronic musician Thomas Bücker, with a delicate selection ranging from film scores, to gaming, and ambient tracks. Working within the realms of modern classical and ambient music, Bücker has garnered acclaim for his contributions as Bersarin Quartett (which he has been running for over 15 years), notably through his publications with Denovali Records. Bersarin Quartett's sonic landscapes are distinguished by a fusion of atmospheric textures, electronic nuances, and classical instrumentation, crafting a singular and emotive auditory journey. Bücker's oeuvre has earned widespread praise for its unique stylistic approach, captivating both ambient and experimental music audiences alike. A heavy sense of melancholy runs through the Bersarin Quartett sonic core, which Bücker confirms is indeed a big part of the project. The Quartett's most recent release, Systeme, also released on Denovali, marks its fifth release. It is described as probably the artist's most intimate and focused sonic narrative.  In this album, melancholy mixed with a sense of distorted alienation or strangeness is described as something that, while it still sounds popularly symphonic here and there, many soundscapes have an observing, almost unmasking effect. Microtonal shifts, polyrhythmic structures, tempo fluctuations, and sound aesthetics torn out of context create a fragile, unpredictable foundation. The mix he has prepared for us, he mentions, combines many film scores, gaming, and ambient tracks that really impressed and inspired him: First, I sorted the individual tracks by key so they could be mixed together appropriately. Here and there, this even creates completely new soundscapes beyond the original. To present my current album a little more closely, I have interwoven four new Bersarin Quartett tracks!

Solénoïde (29.01.2024) - Cette semaine, Solénoïde vous invite à un voyage sonore à travers les paysages musicaux de l'Allemagne, un pays riche en diversité culturelle et artistique, coincé entre l'Europe occidentale et centrale. Dans cette seconde Virée Germanique, nous explorons la mosaïque musicale qui définit ce territoire fascinant. Connue pour son répertoire diversifié allant de l'électro à l'ambient, du néoclassique au dub, l'Allemagne s'offre à nous pendant 55 minutes d'exploration auditive. Au cours de cette émission, vous découvrirez des artistes que nous avons le plaisir de programmer depuis plusieurs années. Des virtuoses contemporains maniant les synthés analogiques, des musiciens profondément enracinés dans l'expérimentation, et des créateurs audacieux qui bâtissent des ponts entre instruments acoustiques et sources numériques.

Solénoïde (20.11.2023) - Cette semaine, nous nous imposons quelques limites, mais pas n'importe lesquelles : celles des frontières géographiques. Notre équipage vous emmène explorer le seul territoire français, à la rencontre de paysagistes sonores qui sauront titiller l'oreille de tout amateur de voyages musicaux. Notre hexagone, toujours en ébullition créative, regorge de talents de plus en plus variés. Il est le carrefour où convergent des sensibilités et inspirations de toutes origines. C'est pourquoi nous avons décidé de lui consacrer une nouvelle émission, une plongée sonore au cœur de la diversité musicale française.

Solénoïde (13.11.2023) - Cette Mission 229 mettra à l'honneur le projet d'illustration sonore exceptionnel de Jason Kohnen, un artiste qui a marqué la scène sous divers alias tels que The Kilimandjaro Dark Jazz Ensemble. Son retour au sein du Lovecraft Sextet avec le LP "The Horror Cosmic" promet une expérience majestueuse, mêlant dark jazz, néo-classique et opéra, avec des instruments organiques tels que le saxophone, la trompette et l'orgue. Le retour très attendu de Forest Swords se concrétise avec son nouveau LP "Bolted". Six ans après "Compassion", le mancunien propose un disque plus angoissant et urbain, tout aussi captivant et cinématographique. Solénoïde promet également des découvertes étranges avec le berlinois Shackleton, façonnant une electronica complexe influencée par d'anciennes folk songs germaniques. Le flûtiste Peter Phippen, en collaboration avec le claviériste Ivar Lunde Jr, offrira un puissant antidote à la cacophonie contemporaine. Une promesse d'une émission riche en découvertes musicales aussi énigmatiques que captivantes.

Our next Mixtape comes from Nanook of the North, the duo of composer and violinist Stefan Wesołowski and electronic producer Piotr Kalińsk, with a small introduction to their music and the music of their friends. Taking the name of a 1922 American silent film that follows the struggles of the Inuk man named Nanook and his family in the Canadian Arctic, the two Polish musicians merge compositional roles blending as seamlessly as their use of acoustic and electronic sounds, with Stefan playing the violin and piano parts with additional synth touches and Piotr taking care of electronics, more synths and the final mix. Their first album, with an eponymous name (published by Denovali), arrived after the pair were invited by the Sopot Film Festival in Gdansk to perform an improvised score to a film screening; they the classic silent movie ‘Nanook of the North and travelled to Iceland to record the album. Despite the icy expansive isolation captured from the movie, the album is also transferrable in scenario and evocation, equally omitting the dangerous allure of dystopian cityscapes or even the 80s sci-fi horror menace of Maurice Jarre, Howare Shore and Jay Chattaway. Nanook of the North are now back with their second album Heide (Denovali, 2022). Their new material is a raw and minimalist sonic landscape, practically devoid of percussive elements but featuring vocals by an acclaimed mezzo-soprano Margarita Slepakova. As with the debut, the music on "Heide" is rooted in nature and its primordiality. The title of the album alludes to wildness and untamedness. The material was recorded last winter in a village in the middle of forests in northern Poland, which is clearly felt in the atmosphere of the 9 new tracks on "Heide". The mix they have prepared is aimed to be an introduction to their craft and the music of our friends and collaborators from other projects - such as Jacaszek or Olga Markowska (also the author of the cover of Heide). 100% Polish music. Including "Hinode Tapes #05" (the second song), which was recorded by Piort's new improvising trio Hinode Tapes (released on August 26 by Instant Classic), a great and very inspiring Krakow label.

  These year-end lists seem to be getting harder and harder to curate. The sheer number of releases makes it nearly impossible to keep up and listen to all the music. Through Spotify and Bandcamp most of this music is available immediately, which is great, but it can also foster a severe case of FOMO, fear of missing out. Whether it's ambient music or indie rock/pop I am on a constant prowl for new music, sometimes at the disservice of current music which I have not given time to sink in. A list like this is obviously not a definitive "Best of" list. These are just some of my favorites from this year. Sometimes an album happens to catch me in the right mood, in the right place and it hits home. Is it better than all the other releases? Maybe. But all I know is it caught my ear at the right time, I latched on, listened, and it became one of my favorites. I made the list with a top 5 and then listed everything else alphabetically. It's way too hard to say this one is #14 while that one is #22. That being said I totally loved the top 3 on this list.    FAVORITE AMBIENT ALBUMS OF 2021: 1.

Dalhous, the music project of Marc Dall and Alex Ander formed in Edinburgh, are bringing our next mixtape instalment, with a mix that will particularly please those with cinematographic inclinations. Dalhous have just returned after a 5-year hiatus with a long-awaited follow up to 2016's House Number 44, presenting the second volume of The Composite Moods Collection: Point Blank Range released on Denovali Records earlier this year. 
 This mixtape is a collection of some of the records Dalhous have been re-listening to recently. They like to make mixes in the same way they make records where entire tracks are used as raw material. The cinematographic influence comes across immediately: There are a lot of cues from film and game soundtracks, from classic FPS games like Wolfenstein 3D and Half-Life through to a library cue from David Cronenberg's Shivers, to direct audio rip from the opening of Abell Ferrera's The King of New York by Joe Delia.

Solénoïde (08.03.2021) - Pour notre plus grand bonheur, Eraldo Bernocchi s'est trouvé une nouvelle partenaire de jeu musical: la violoniste Hoshiko Yamane. Sur "Mujo", ce duo italo-japonais nous fait vivre un trip cosmique et mélancolique de haut vol. Une expérience fascinante, à la croisée des sonorités de la Berlin school, de l'esprit de l'ambient techno et de la composition néoclassique. Du côté de Berlin, l'américaine Danielle De Picciotto revient avec un 3e album solo "The Element of Love", un assemblage exquis de spoken words, d'harmonies de violon mélancolique et de paysages sonores électroniques. Avec la publication de "Guanyin", l'occasion était trop belle de s'attarder sur Jah Wobble qui nous offre le petit frère de son album "Chinese Dub" (2008). Un album réalisé en famille, avec sa femme harpiste Zi-Lan Liao, et leurs deux fils, un album mosaïcal aux confins de la pop, du reggae, du funk et de la musique traditionnelle chinoise.

Solénoïde (08.02.2021) - A ne pas manquer dans cette actualité musicale bouillonnante, 3 disques parmi lesquels figure notre coup de coeur “Karma”, premier album de MANSUR, qui nous plonge dans les eaux troubles d’une world avant-gardiste au penchant ambient épique. Oud, voix féminines, flûte, voix et traitements électroniques évoquent un voyage insolite reliant diverses localités imaginaires du monde arabo-persan. Zoom sur le second LP de SHOHEI AMIMORI, producteur japonais incroyablement versatile qui malmène nos repères musicaux usuels en pratiquant un brassage de genres unique ! Artiste italienne basée à Berlin, MARTINA BERTONI nous emmène en Islande avec son second opus inspiré d’un séjour dans le froid glacial de Reykjavik. A la croisée de l’ambient arctique et du genre néoclassique, ses compositions sont hantées par le son de son violoncelle échantillonné.

Greetings, Terminators. On this glorious and exalted episode of Terminus, we dedicate the first half to the black/death avant-garde, and the second half to skillful work in established black metal traditions. To lead off, we wander the tangled waterways of Mefitis' second LP Offscourings, a gray and misty realm where sophisticated 90s DM and sinister Swedish black/death bleed into something the band calls "dark metal." Riffs flow by in the blink of an eye, and sinuous proggy melodies loom up out of the fog. We try to chart this bleak domain -- have Mefitis led us beyond the boundaries of metal? Next up, we check out another sophomore effort, this time from  the heart of the French Orthodox scene. We're both skeptical of Orthodox stuff - The Death Metal Guy especially - but Novae Militiae subordinate well-worn genre tropes to the higher purpose of m o n o l i t h i c p u m m e l i n g, so there's plenty of interest here. It's been a while since we reviewed a vampyric rawtapeblack split (last was Grundhyrde / Klagesturm, over the summer), so The Death Metal Guy harvests a new one that features both wings of the subgenre -- the chivalric and the depraved. The Black Metal Guy gripes a bit, but ultimately there's a side for each of us. Finally, The Black Metal Guy brings on The Procession, the new one from an ostensibly-Egyptian project called Lycopolis. This gives us an occasion to discuss the general phenomenon of Middle Eastern black metal -- the embarrassing public response to it, and the challenges of writing BM that really "sounds" Middle Eastern. Lycopolis meets those challenges and then some.   00:00 - Introductory bullshitting 03:16 - Terminus News ft.

Solénoïde (18.01.2021) - Savourez une potion musicale aux saveurs rares et épicées ! L’espace de 55 minutes, c’est un mix de sons panachés et hautement vitaminés qui viendra défier comme jamais les convenances et la monotonie musicales ! Et autant vous dire qu’avec pas moins de 11 sélections musicales pour autant de nationalités convoquées, c’est un breuvage audio relevé qui va sortir des centrifugeuses du Solénopole.

I like to think that I put a lot of thought and effort into these mixes. Hopefully, the mix as a whole is greater than the sum of its parts. But what I do is nothing compared to the transformative touch that Peter Van Cooten brings to his mixes.  Each mix is a unique work of art. Peter rarely lets a track play in its complete form. Instead, he uses smaller samples and deftly weaves the tracks in and out of each other. Sometimes 2,3, or 4 tracks play simultaneously, creating something new from different elements. In this mix, he uses an incredible 41 tracks! Here's what Peter has to say about using so many short samples:  "Sometimes I feel a bit embarrassed about using such short samples and/or editing the tracks (of these 41, only 8 are used in their complete form). It's a bit like cutting up the Mona Lisa to create a landscape patchwork with the fragments ;-)  But on the other hand, this is what I feel makes these mixes unique. Taken out of their context and in relation to other fragments, the music sometimes tells a different story."  This mix is a bit darker than most of my mixes. But it's dark in an interesting way, not in a droney, dissonant way. The mix has a very cinematic feel and combined with the cover art and title I can imagine drone shots of empty streets and newspapers blowing across the square. Peter was hesitant about the name and the cover art. He says -  "It may be too closely linked to the current worldwide crisis, but on the other hand I have tried to think of another name or context but the uncertain times seem to be too dominant to think of another name I could give it. The funny thing is, that if you listen back most of my mixes have a rather dark edge to them. There's always a lot of 'tension/release' to them. But in this case, it seems there's a bit more 'tension' than 'release'. Oh well, sign of the times..." Peter runs his own ambient music blog called, appropriately, Ambientblog.net. Where in addition to his fine mixes(available in DTS surround as well), he has a ton of good reviews and recommendations. You can find it here...   https://www.ambientblog.net/blog/   He's also on Mixcloud here... https://www.mixcloud.com/ambientblog/ When he creates these extraordinary mixes he posts a pic of the total track layout, layer upon layer of all the music used. Here is the map of this mix...      Peter does his tracklist a little differently than I do. He gives listeners more info about each track, including start time, sample length, artist, title, album title, year and record label. Thanks to Peter Van Cooten of Ambientblog.net for such an excellent mix. Hopefully, I can talk him into doing another one in the future.   Cheers, and stay safe.   T R A C K L I S T - Start time - Sample length - Artist - Title Album Title, Year, Label 00:00  03:23 Fovea Hex - Is  Is Lanza Light and Given (Steven Wilson Remixes), 2019, Die Stadt/Janet Records 01:25  04:35 Maggi Payne - Fluid Dynamics Arctic Winds, 2020, Aguirre Records 02:03  01:45 Pat Keista - Doppler Still Of The Void, 2020, self-released 04:17  01:47 Dave Phillips - Phytognosophysiology Post Homo Sapiens, 2020, Attenuation Circuit 05:10  02:45 Jóhann Jóhannsson and Yair Elazar Glotman - Prelude Last And First Men, 2020, Deutsche Grammophon 05:42  02:00 Andrew Pekler - Fonseca Winds (Lament) Sounds From Phantom Islands, 2019, Faitiche 07:29  01:19 Jóhann Jóhannsson and Yair Elazar Glotman - Telepathic Unity Last And First Men, 2020, Deutsche Grammophon 08:13  03:10 Ben Bertrand - Those Behind Us That We Follow Manes, 2020, Les Albums Claus 11:08  01:31 Fani Konstantinidou - (Variations) Moving Music: Sounds From The Rocking Chair, 2020, Moving Furniture Records, 11:58  01:32 Aaron Martin - Overcoming Inertia Test Subjects, 2019, self-released 12:53  01:51 A Journey Of Giraffes - Gone Is The New Fuji Kona, 2019, Somewherecold records 13:29  03:30 Robert Haigh - Ghosts Of Blacker Dyke Black Sarabande, 2020, Unseen Worlds 16:46  02:48 Snorri Hallgrímsson - Fear Chasing The Present, 2020, Moderna Records 16:53  00:30 Mica Levy - Mensajero Monos, 2019, Invada 17:40  02:30 Snorri Hallgrímsson - Suffering Chasing The Present, 2020, Moderna Records 19:22  01:58 Bersarin Quartett - Prolog Methoden Und Maschinen, 2019, Denovali  20:41  01:09 Ruairi O'Baoighill - Scryer To See Without Eyes, 2018, Cursed Monk Records 20:50  01:59 I Wound - The Choir Of The Drowned Sings 'Our Demons Are Real' Homework Year 3, 2018, Taâlem 21:48  03:01 Christine Ott - Comma Chimères (Pour Ondes Martenots), 2020, Nahal Recordings 24:22  02:34 Ida Toninato - Pour Retourner Au Silence We Become Giants, 2020, Dragon's Eye Recordings 25:32  03:47 Merrin Karras - Drawn, Quartered Northwest Passage, 2020, A Strangely Isolated Place 28:27  02:07 Ciro Berenguer - Luna Creciente Eilean 100, 2019, Eilean Records 29:57  01:47 Yiorgis Sakellariou - B4 Diapsalmata: A Collection Of Short Works, 2018, Tanuki Records 29:57  01:19 Celer - Birds Inside The High Halls Of Hangzhou (06.23.17) Xièxie, 2019, Two Acorns 30:12  03:18 Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Akritchalerm Kalayanamitr, Koichi Shimizu - Sharjah And Java Metaphors - Selected Soundworks from the cinema of Apichatpong Weerasethakul, 2017, Sub Rosa 31:24  00:44 Coil - Corybantic Ennui Stolen and Contaminated Songs, 2019, Cold Spring Records  32:32  01:22 Olivier Messiaen - Quator Pour Le Fin Du Temps III: Abîme des Oiseaux Olivier Messiaen - Complete Edition, 2008, Deutsche Grammophon 33:54  01:26 Hildur Gudnadottir - Following Sophie Joker OST, 2019, Watertower Records 35:14  00:55 Ryuichi Sakamoto - Countdown Black Mirror: Smithereens, 2019, Milan 35:45  03:24 Silent Chaos - Nocturne On Ganimede  Macro, 2020, We Don't Give A Fuck 38:52  04:03 Roger Eno and Brian Eno - Burnt Umber Mixing Colours, 2020, Deutsche Grammophon 42:38  02:13 Martina Bertoni - Invisible Cracks All The Ghosts Are Gone, 2020, Falk 44:29  03:30 Eivind Aarset and Jan Bang - Nightspell Snow Catches On Her Eyelashes, 2020, Jazzland Recordings 46:21  02:13 Jana Irmert - Fog Cusp, 2020, self-released 47:40  01:36 Fovea Hex - Given Is Lanza Light and Given (Steven Wilson Remixes), 2019, Die Stadt/Janet Records 48:42  02:40 Frank Makowski - Fliegende Schatten - Canon 1 Canon der Finsternisse, 2019, Diffusschall 49:05  01:12 Michael Begg - Plain Chant Sonambulo, 2019, Omnempathy 50:40  02:20 A Winged Victory For The Sullen - The Slow Descent Has Begun The Undivided Five, 2019, Ninja Tune 52:35  04:30 Felix Blume - Horns In Fog Pt. 2 Fog Horns, 2019, Discrepant 55:49  03:02 Max Richter - Ursa Minor - Visions Ad Astra, 2019, Deutsche Grammophon 58:30  00:40 Jóhann Jóhannsson and Yair Elazar Glotman - The Sun Last And First Men, 2020, Deutsche Grammophon 59:10 End            

If you listen back, most of my mixes have a rather dark edge to them. There's always a lot of 'tension/release' - but in this case, it seems there's a bit more 'tension' than 'release'. Sign of the times, probably…I tried to find another name (and image) for this mix, but it seems that only one title remained appropriate at this time.I'm very proud that this mix is also published on Dave Michuda's great Low Light Mixes blog.
