I discovered this album from archive.org’s most downloaded album section and this album is currently ranked second with close to 50 thousand downloads.
This is not a strictly electronic album. One can hear some acoustic instruments being used in the album, in fact rather abundantly. This album sounds rather industrial and yet not as fast as […]

One shouldn’t judge an artist by his name, but when i saw the name “Dr. Blowfins”, I knew, as a big Drexciya fan, I had to get this and see what the link was. (For the uninitiated, Dr. Blowfin was supposedly a “character” in the Drexciya universe, and appeared in one of their track names. […]

Chillout. Ambient. Minimal.
Close your eyes. Relax. Enjoy and let your mind wanders to wherever it takes you while you listen to this minimal album.
The 9 tracks are mostly pretty repetitive, monotonous, slow and atmospheric, but yet still rich in their textures, sounding pretty dark and completely showcased how minimal can actually be good.
Great […]

Intelligent Toys 1 is probably the release that put Sutemos on the map and make them one of the top Netlabel for IDM and Ambient artists. Just when everyone thought Intelligent Toys 1 is best free IDM compilation album that could have been made, Sutemos once again shocked us with their release of Intelligent Toys […]

This one is for all you nature loving ambient music people out there. Quosp’s debut release is one laden with beautiful, pastoral, pristine and beatless soundscapes. Although minimalist and unintrusive in its approach, I found “Green” to be highly evocative, triggering mental pictures of great natural beauty, such as vast azure lakes and starry night […]

It is almost a given that people who live in big cities have experienced light pollution at night where the sky isn’t really dark any more but a brownish tint. I believe many of these people have probably felt certain amounts of awkwardness, strangeness or even desire to escape into a dark night when faced […]

An album full of upbeat electronic tracks that span across various genres, Techno, Drum and Bass, Breakbeat and even Ambient. Every track in this LP is pretty nice to listen to on its own and each of them has a unique feel all its own. Probably due to the wide spectrum of genres of this […]

Ambient music doesn’t get more relaxing than this. The pure tone melodies that Akira Kosemura comes up with are a joy to listen to. Kosemura-san’s music also fits the Brian Eno description of ambient music being “as ignorable as it is interesting”. The simple structure of most tracks will lure you in to explore the […]

Transient represented a rare find for me. It’s just one of those albums that represented that new sound that you’ve never heard before until you pressed play. I don’t always like jazz because it doesn’t repeat too much. Transient’s jazzy style has just enough repeating elements to be palatable to me. The first four tracks […]

Once again, let’s continue the trend for the week. More chillout, more ambient stuff.
This is, once again, fresh off the oven - the latest release from the netlabel Sutemos. This is not the first time we have heard from IJO. The last time I heard from him was his The Driw Play EP, also released […]

A few years ago, I used to listen to Digitally Imported, the Dance/Chillout Net radio that featured that funny but sometimes inaccurate Guide to Electronic Music.
Ambient/Chillout music at the time, was a good way for me relax and just think since the music usually employed very subtle movement that doesn’t easily distract its listener. During […]

On “The Dagda EP”, which was released on the Earstroke netlabel back in 2005, Skytree (Evan Snyder) delicately melds an ethereal mix of folk guitar, lush string arrangments, ambient soundscapes and intricate yet trippy beats.
The overall mood is organic although it can sound rather moody, fragile, cold and mysterious. I’d recommend putting this in […]
