I'm eagerly (desperately) awaiting the new
ASC release; I managed to get an order in after the additional 50 copies were announced.
Being on a budget, I've recently been exploring some inexpensive/free digital releases. A lot of stuff out there is kind of meh, but here are a couple of things that have stood out and will likely appeal to other forum members who are not morally and aesthetically opposed to non-physical releases.
Arpa - LlavesAn ambient release from Miguel Isaza. This is rich with Colombian field recordings and soft drone work, mostly synths and occasional wind instruments. I think this will appeal to folks who like the organic side of Robert Rich and ISHQ.

http://ins-out.bandcamp.com/album/llavesDocetism - AskesisA lot of dub ambient/techno tends to blur together for me; it is often difficult to pick out one artist's track from another. Docetism, while recording in this tradition, has a unique sound. I don't know how to explain it in words (maybe something on the boarder between dub and the more atmospheric stuff by Gas), but I strongly recommend it.
