3Vlaar
Vlaar


4.0 [emocrust] d-beat all day everyday
4Alva Noto
Unieqav


4.0 [ambient techno] what Fripp said: It bounces, glides, swirls, hovers, brushes; it transcends dronage into unusual rhythmic glitchery and further beyond your brother's bandcamp electronic digs. Bad descriptors for a beaut of a record don't do it justice.
5Martin Archer and Engine Room Favourites
Safety Signal from a Target Town


4.0-3.5 [jazz] a trip and a half, quite literally cos this is about 50% longer than it has to be. But still really neat.
6Hieroglyphic Being
The Red Notes


4.0-3.5 [house] unorthodox house for your enjoyment. Really nails the vibe
7Jacek Sienkiewicz
123418


4.0-3.5 [minimal techno] am a sucker for stuff sounding like this. This has quite a few nice surprises in it as well. And as you can see album title is all numbers so it gotta be good

Exodus


4.0-3.5 [electronic] this time with more beauty and less dancefloor
9Surly
Trip To Warsaw

Cosmic Language


3.5-bordering higher [spiritual jazz] spiritual to lift your spirits
11Eryn Non Dae.
Abandon Of The Self


3.5 [post metal] a bit uneven but really good when it's good but some parts are a bit too industrial-leaning and drag the overall enjoyment down a little.
12Tatsuya Shimazaki
in my


3.5 [ambient] piano based ambient that is pretty beautiful in it's childishness
13Blodet
Kristallpalatset
