 | Robert Rich Somnium
This is practically impossible to listen in one sitting. The 7 hour opus is Rich's version of a dream. Somnium translated from Latin literally means "dream", which is why the concept of this album needs to be touched on. The sounds of water droplets, storm showers, waves of water all signal calmness and peace. While the album itself is overbearing in its track time, its vision may be its greatest strength. | 3.5

 | Port Blue The Albatross EP
It just may too short for its own good, but The Albatross EP continually sustains its calm drive and beautiful short electronic landscapes with ease. | 4

 | Plaster First Aid Kit
A melting pot of electronic waves, idm break beats, jazz with hints of swing-time in one heaping pile of consistency. Plaster's First Aid Kit may seem to be like the basic barebone electronic album at first, but as time goes on it progresses to new heights. Not only does Plaster's 2005 effort show their patience with their music, but their malleability and sheer ease to mix all of these elements into one, as "Erectus" and "Orgie" show you without hesitation. What started as pure curiosity and boredom at the beginning, turned out to be a highly underrated band with the pieces and elements to soar any expectation. | 4
