Hi Folks,

 

i am back to the intenet and would recommend these two albums:

Sysyphe - The Cities Of Silver Trees [ Hadra Records ]

Tor.Ma Meets Mexican Trancers In Dub - Mara'akames Gathering [ Dubmission Records ]

[schofield 52]

Emacipator's Dusk to Dawn Remixes and Electrocado's Scribble were my faves from last week.  Both are excellent.

[timeisart 170]

apologies for missing last week's releases, summer is just too fun

 

I thought Nebula Meltdown's EP was very impressive, you can tell he put his experience from his earlier goa works to good use with these psychill tracks.

 

I loved Sysyphe's Running Up That Hill from a few years ago, this new album is nice too.

 

Woob's Adaption has some surprising moments compared to some of his previous works. I think he is a master of his craft though, in the past he has made some of the best, most cinematic tracks I've ever heard.

 

Electrocado is super fun. If you want to nitpick you might say something like this doesn't belong on a psybient forum but I think it's good music worth hearing anyway, again look at the genre tags in the spoiler to find releases suited to your taste.

[Spinnet (One Arc Degree) 89]

SoulSonic - Cosmos was a real surprise for me. One of the best albums I've heard in a while. Deep, melancholic, retro synths and ambient tehcno aesthetics, a work of beauty!

 

The Egg & Greg Hunter is a collab made in funk heaven... Amazing release!!
