One of the very best in ambient...melancholic, otherworldly, serene...all at the same time.

Listening to a bunch of
BJ Nilsen works today.
The releases with Stilluppsteypa are fascinating and unpredictable sonic explorations.
Inspiring stuff for ears attuned to something a little different.

Peter James-Landfall, Memento.  Both on relaxed machinery, both excellent.
Pete Namlook/Material Object-Electronik 2.  Beautiful soaring krautrock, reminds of Ashra.  Another great Fax release.
Beta Cloud-Lunar Monograph.  Great album!!!
Document: Atmoworks compilation.  Solar fields, Robert Rich, Vir Unis, Disturbed Earth, Max Corbacho, Numina...a meeting of ambient minds.  Excellent.

David Galas-the Happiest Days of my Life, Ghosts of California. Solo albums from ex-Lycia member. Amazing dark ambient rock.  Lycia meets Type O Negative meets Swans meets Alice in Chains.  Highly recommended!!!

Bleak-Vane.  David Galas and Mike Van Portfleet of Lycia.  Album remastered and sounds much better than the original Projekt release...

Can - Ege Bamyasi
         - Tago Mago

These guys still sound weird 40 years later.  Great primal experimental Krautrock.

Helios - Moiety - very nice ambient release, available as free download here...http://www.unseen-music.com/free/
Anenon - Inner Hue - half floating ambient, half beat oriented recording with some saxophone.  Yikes!  Can't remember the last time I heard sax on an electronic album, if ever.  But it works fairly well.
Nora Jones - Little Broken Hearts - new Nora Jones album produced by Danger Mouse, fantastic!

It's SHOEGAZERS day! : Ride, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Pale Saints.  Plus Daniel Lanois, Cocteau Twins, April Wine, Blue Oyster Cult, and Boston!  Too much ambient can be detrimental to your health--sometime's you gotta rock.  8)

Boddy/Wollo-Frontiers (DiN) Excellent new album.  Very commercial sounding EM but with hints of darkness that give it a mysterious vibe.  DiN rarely disappoints, and this is no exception.   

Gianfranco Grilli-Come to the Light of Day (Tantric Harmonies).  Quite similar to his Amplexus/Arya release from the 90's, "Il Tempio di Karnak."  Ltd. to 230 copies, published 2006.  You can still find this floating around on Discogs.  Recommended.

Free System Projekt-Gent, Narrow Lane.  Two live albums from this Dutch collective of Berlin School enthusiasts.
