Wouter Veldhuis - Blue Forest
I saw this on Dave's list and, after listening to some samples, was intrigued enough to order it. It is fairly standard done-based ambient. What intrigued me about it (besides the lovely cover) was the claim that "all tracks are made out of captured and processed pre-heard, found sounds and field-recordings. No samples, synthesizers or electronic audio sources were used during the production process." I wouldn't have guessed that from listening to it. And, with that as context, I must say it is a really impressive recording.

Naoki Ishida & Ayato - PHAE
I don't know anything about the artists; as far as I can tell from a web search, these are the names of anime characters rather than the names of recording artists! The album is awesome, for what it is worth. It is very much in the spirit of the ambient/glitch/experimental hybrid that is characteristic of some of the more acoustic Japanese groups, like Minamo, Fourcolor, etc. Highly recommended.

Both of these releases come from the Organic Industries label. The packaging itself is noteworthy. Each disc is housed in a paper casing that frames a lovely, glossy photograph. Impressively, when the casing opens, the disc emerges in an orgami-like sheath. My daughter is impressed. ;-)

Rapoon--Vernal Crossing Revisited 2cd.  Remaster of original album plus new album which reinterprets VC.  New stuff sounds great, can't wait to receive this one.
