experimental recommended released July 14, 2023 The full release of this one isn’t on Bandcamp but it is available on Spotify. A friend whose opinion I regard very highly recommended this to me and to be honest if I had discovered it on my own without anyone vouching for it I may have overlooked someContinue reading “Reality Opposition by Christina Giannone”

Immensity by Silent Universe
https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com/album/immensity Space Music Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released February 7, 2023 Immensity is an instrumental electronic record that lands more in the camp of space music than dark ambient although there’s lots of crossover in the genres and Cryo Chamber tends to lean into the latter. A spiritual cousin to the themes of 2001Continue reading “Immensity by Silent Universe”
Rites Of Percussion by Dave Lombardo
https://davelombardo.bandcamp.com/album/rites-of-percussion Progressive Dark Ambient Fusion ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released May 5, 2023 One of the most fortunate things I’ve yet to learn about Covid is it got Lombardo the fuck away from overrated assclown Mike Patton. Instead of rotting in bed binge watching crap TV Lombardo made the best music he’s ever recorded outsideContinue reading “Rites Of Percussion by Dave Lombardo”
Joel Gilardini: L’Anno Della Valanga by Joel Gilardini
https://shopendtitles.bandcamp.com/album/joel-gilardini-l-anno-della-valanga ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ dark ambient released June 2, 2023 I still like this genre but the artists need to start giving me more, including this one. I was expecting something beyond the infinite other ambient releases because of the medium, baritone guitar, but honestly it’s just middle of the pack ambient no matter howContinue reading “Joel Gilardini: L’Anno Della Valanga by Joel Gilardini”
Tim Hecker 2023 Releases
Experimental / Ambient / Dark Ambient Recommended I actually like these albums, the Infinity Pool ost and No Highs, put together on shuffle better than listening to them separately straight through. Don’t tell Tim. There’s one track where he teams up with Colin Stetson. I think the two could be the next Fripp and EnoContinue reading “Tim Hecker 2023 Releases”
Pillars of Light by Stellarium
https://exospheremusic.bandcamp.com/album/pillars-of-light Genre: Space Music Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ released March 21, 2023 If you’re a fan of Klaus Schulze or Jean-Michel Jarre or just in general whatever they play on Hearts of Space this is probably the best release so far along those lines in 2023. So again, if, you’re interested in finding newContinue reading “Pillars of Light by Stellarium”
Dream Catalogue guy, David Russo aka Lucid has a strange hostile fixation on Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never
Twitter is a weird hostile place. My account is still sitting over there occasionally bringing in some views to this blog. Twitter is a place where everything is misconstrued and everything is put in the worst possible light. When Musk took over I opened a Mastodon account and my blog has been actually done betterContinue reading “Dream Catalogue guy, David Russo aka Lucid has a strange hostile fixation on Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never”
Mythos Of Cthulhu by The Great Old Ones
https://eighthtowerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mythos-of-cthulhu Genre: Dark Ambient Rating: 4/5 released January 5, 2023 The Great Old Ones is the name Raffaele Pezzella (a.k.a. Sonologyst) uses for his two Lovecraft tributes. I’ll admit the idea of using the author’s work as a theme draws me to these recordings. Sometimes ideas like this will pull you into music you probablyContinue reading “Mythos Of Cthulhu by The Great Old Ones”
Infinite Winter by Tears ov Blood
https://gondolinrecords.bandcamp.com/album/infinite-winter Genre: Dungeon Synth Rating: 🪦 🪦🪦 🪦 Recorded in 1994; Released 2022 No other genre brings home how talented a person can be and still go unrecognized. Nerd creates a brilliant album in his bedroom and no one cares. Then bandcamp comes along and a few people care. A community forms on social media.Continue reading “Infinite Winter by Tears ov Blood”
Cataclysmic System Binding Loss by Carbon In Prose
https://carboninprose.bandcamp.com/album/cataclysmic-system-binding-loss Genre: Experimental Rating: Highly Recommended released October 24, 2022 Unlike a lot of the ambient drone releases this one offers different moods and approaches. CIP doesn’t limit the sound sticking with a uniform format. There’s nothing remotely mainstream about it, and ultimately the feeling is sad. The music doesn’t always explicitly sound melancholy butContinue reading “Cataclysmic System Binding Loss by Carbon In Prose”
Call and Response by Stefan Goldmann
https://ashinternational.bandcamp.com/album/call-and-response Genre: Experimental Rating: Highly Recommended As the title hints at Call and Response is the artistic expression of reverberation. If the machines have any sentience perhaps they feel like slaves and chain gang workers from the past. Musically this also calls on more modern traditions. A 2022 release like this with this sound isn’tContinue reading “Call and Response by Stefan Goldmann”
Yog-Sothoth by The Great Old Ones
https://eighthtowerrecords.bandcamp.com/album/yog-sothoth Genre: Dark Ambient Rating: 4/5 This could be an above average Cryo Chamber release and it’s very much in the same sonic ballpark. Cryo Chamber releases almost all fall into a 3 or 4 star rating tier to my ears. Like this release, the 4 star releases have a special flair. Yog-Sothoth has monstrousContinue reading “Yog-Sothoth by The Great Old Ones”
the weight of clouds by peter james
https://peterjames9.bandcamp.com/album/the-weight-of-clouds Genre: Dark Ambient Rating: 4/5 released on bandcamp December 19, 2021 A dark ambient release that wouldn’t be out of place on Cryo Chamber https://cryochamber.bandcamp.com . It flows in that vast cold emptiness of space zone. While this is certainly a crowded field james distinguishes himself with powerful deeply evocative swelling slow waves ofContinue reading “the weight of clouds by peter james”
