Wacky Southern Current – [2011] In a Realm of Uncertain Summer
Cinematic instrumental post rock. Like an alternative soundtrack to Magnolia, this slow-paced exercise in wackyness.
-
adamned.age – [2013] transit berlin
Clicky soundtrack for a city. Cinematic and highly enjoyable as headphone fuel.
-
In Vitro – [2017] Deep Hope
Minimal house. Repetitive beats and only subtle changes in harmonics introduce an element of trance (pun intended).
-
Still Pluto – [2014] Songs To Mend The Heart Once Been Torn Apart
Solid soft hard rock. Very well recorded and produced vocal rock music; hard to place on the spectrum between soft and hard rock.

Indie trip-hop. 4 track EP full of intriguing tracks and collaborations of creative musicians.
-
Various Artists – [2017] Dark Of Winter: Music From The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Exceptionally broad movie soundtrack. Cool credit punch songs, mystical and disturbing ambient tracks live side by side.
-
melodysheep – [2013] Symphony of Science Collector’s Edition
Scientific ear-candy. Musical blend of talks about everything from biology to cosmology with upbeat electronica.

-
Teppana – [2017] Triple EP
Slow, uplifting IDM. Winter on the outside, but warmer on the inside.
-
Push Against New Fakes – [2014] Any Color You Can’t See
Raw and strong IDM. Uncompromising electronica, straight like the pixel’y album art.
-
Various Artists – [2017] Digital Decade
Fat psy-tech compilation. Tiny speakers need not apply 😉
-
GRENADE SURROUND Experience – [2017] Свободнее Птиц
Post-rock jazz vibes. Musical equivalent of a good, strong red wine. Becomes better the more you taste it.
-
beat.dowsing – [2012] trigger.melodies
Playful electronica. Synth pads and drums fight against bad weather.
