Solar Fields-Until we meet the sky. Another excellent Ultimae release.
Cell-Live at Kumharas. Awesome download only release by Ultimae artist.
Mike VanPortfleet-Beyond the Horizon Line. Lycia solo project, dark and creepy.
Pete Namlook-Syn (disc 2). Disc 1 of this 1994 Fax release is pretty awful hard trance, but disc 2 is floaty outer space stuff a la Psychonavigation. Great late night listening!
Caul-Let the Stars Assume the Whole of Night. The most un-Hypnos release on Hypnos, more post-rock soundtrack than ambient. Full review soon...

last night - start of Third Ear Bands album Elements. The rest today hopefully.

On the way to work - Rainbow serpent - Pulse. I'd forgotten how much I hate vocoders in electronic music - luckily only on one track.

Bruno Sanfilippo - Urbs arrived today. Just finished my first headphone trip through it. Enjoyed it very much. This is a release that will unveil new secrets every time I listen to it. Well done.

Finished listening to Elements by the Third Ear Band.

Chaotic but great, really enjoyed it.

This morning on way to work - Steve Roach, All Is Now.

12k day at work:

Tomasz Bednarczyk-Let's Make Better Mistakes Tomorrow. Nice little album of soft drones and crackly sounds.

Lovesliescrushing-CRWTH (Chorus Redux). This one's on Line but I guess technically it's 12k. Processing of female vocals. Really ethereal, kind of like Cocteau Twins minus the drums and wall of sound guitars.

Taylor Deupress-Shoals. Field recordings and digital glitchiness, sort of a less subtle Alio Die.

Seaworthy/Rosner-Two Lakes. This one starts off sounding like somebody taking a bath, so you know it's gonna be good.

Motorhead - Overkill
The Rods - The Rods

Recently
- Ozric Tentacles :: mix of things from various albums. High energy 70's throwbacks. That's good stuff!
- Pjusk: Tele :: on first listen I'm not blown away. Not that I dislike it. And I do know it will grow on me.
- Loscil : coast range arc :: still a standout of 2011 for me.

Tangerine Dream-Alpha Centauri (new UK reissue on Esoteric). Another great reissue remaster along with Zeit and Atem.

Shrine-Somnia (Cyclic Law). Bulgarian artist who does dreamy, watery ambient. Cyclic Law releasing some more varied music these days besides the usual dark ambient style, which is a good thing.

The Floating World-The Apparition (Cyclic Law). Amanda Votta, who was on Hypnos comp "Echoes of Polyhymnia". This is pretty dark stuff, with drones, flutes, vocals. Similar if a bit smoother than her collaboration with Gustaf Hildebrand.

Currently at work listening to my second spin of Caul's "Let the Stars..." It's wonderful!

Yes, that Caul disc is great!

A Produce & Loren Nerrel : Intangible......Love this for its varied sonic moods!
vidnObmana : Soundtrack for the Aquarium......a Hypnos classic, should be reprinted.

King Crimson : Red....... What can I say, Robert Fripp, Bill Bruford & John Wetton!

Kyle Bobby Dunn - Bring Me The Head of Kyle Bobby Dunn - Another KBD release that I love. Beautiful!
S. Carey - Hoyas - percussionist for Bon Iver, this is his second release. More electronic than the first, very nice.
Mohn - Mohn - Awesome electronics from Kompakt records and Wolfgang Voigt and Jörg Burger.
Bersarin Quartett - II - Ambient/neo-classical goodness. One of the best of the year so far.
