Ryanosaurus' Conscious Comfort album is pretty cool.  A nice surprise mixture of styles and sounds, but very groovy.

 

The other album I loved from last week, which isn't in your list, is Emancipator's Live in Athens album: 

 

 

Just excellent, and I thought a good companion to Conscious Comfort given they both include live sounds (some obviously more 'live' than others)

Strange Substance is a quality artist, I loved his Substantial EP from last year and this full length album is sounding even better.

 

Operentzia - never heard of them before but this album is really good.

 

Noodreem - loved this guy's sounds in the past, this is more good cosmic dub

 

Subconscious & Ryanosaurus - Shanti Planti & Merkaba Music are like sister labels in my mind, both equally high quality

 

VA - Aquatic Collective - this came out of nowhere, but this label looks to be promising in the future

 

 

schofield, I did see that Emancipator live album but initially dismissed it because it seemed like nothing new, however this is with the full live band ensemble correct? that makes it more worthy of being added than the live DJ set I thought it was.

Wow, what a lot of killer releases this week!

 

I was especially impressed with the Aquatic Collective Compilation - just gem after gem of somehow intense yet understated bassy glitchy goodness.

 

Operentzia is another new find through this poll for me. A really tasty collage of beats and sounds, inventive without sounding too 'experimental' - the unique variety of sonic textures in this just works!

 

The Vajra Mind collection is just stunning. I listened to Amani's mix of the release at an emotionally difficult moment and was comforted and uplifted by a lovingly crafted landscape of sacred sound <3

 

 

 

Subconscious & Ryanosaurus - Shanti Planti & Merkaba Music are like sister labels in my mind, both equally high quality

 

Yeah you know it!

i am on limited internet access in Morocco, so didn't really had time to listen, but i would  recommend those two : Balancé,  Dubnotic.

To my taste some of these tracks are going a bit too far outside of psybient... voted for Puffy Clouds for its solid sound and driving rhythms.

this project is a catch all for psychedelic downtempo music in all its forms. the genre tags are there for you to avoid any genres you don't like.

Just discovering Cosmopolite Dreams. Pretty good - positive atmospheres throughout, with a variety in the beats department and up/downbeatness, if I can call it that.
