Television Sky - Six Yogas of Naropa (2012)
9.2
/Ambient, Musique concrète, Post-rock, Ambient rock, Hauntology, Alternative, Experimental electronica, Crossover, Experimental rock/
Comment: there are up 6 tracks spreaded out over 20 minutes. The album starts off with a track, Pedro de Ampudia, which is Arthur Russell-esque track of reverb-heavy vowel effects and ethereal arrangements. Onward the release will be embedded either in more or less haunting ambient music being infiltrated with concrete sounds and clicks, lofty hums and minimally shaped experiments or "error-induced", glitch and weird snippet-filled atmospheric and flickering post-rock tendencies. The last track Oceans Last Forever`s motif reminds a little bit of Angelo Badalamenti`s Twin Peaks one. All of that is created by a guy, called Samuel Ruth aka Qually aka Metrosound hailing from San Diego, USA.
VedelikuElektroonikud - Compilation (2009/2012)
8.8
/Avant-electronica, Acid, Improvised music, IDM, Synth pop, Ambient, Electronic pop, Experimental electronica, Conceptual, DIY, Lo-fi/
Comment: this is a compilation of 53 (short-running) pieces produced by a tremendous array of Estonian (visual) artists. Stylistically it veers away more or less brooding and acidic electronic propulsions, noisy facets and growling digital sound processing, warped glacial glow-tinged ambient appearances, primitive synth pop elaborations. However, inspite of divergent tendencies all the stuff over the place seems to be designed in the vein of DIY/lo-fi aesthetics of instant recording and conceptually/technically delineated with virtual synths found from Internet. In a word, a lot of catchy tracks can be discovered for your pleasure. A nice alternative for your everyday listening.

Beatslaughter - Serenity EP (2012)
9.4
/IDM, Breaks, Experimental electronica, Downtempo/
Comment: Beatslaughter is Alexander Stoica, a producer from Berlin, Germany. His 4-track issue is a synergical composition made up of mesmeric rhythm sequences and soaring ambient/downtempo-alike panoramas. It does have a strong melodic pitch crossed with gleaming electronic bits and flickers. Pleasing by any means.
