Steve Roach: Sanctuary of Desire (2CD/Digital)

Masterfully joining the two worlds that define Steve Roach's signature styles, the 140-minute 2CD Sanctuary of Desire combines deep ambience and mesmerizing, spiral-like forms in a majestic flow of stately elegance and breathtaking aural drift.

Disc two soars upon a morphing journey into the mythic imagination by way of multi-dimensional mandala-like tapestries woven from Steve's mastery of analog-based synths and sequencers and hovering atmospherics. A timeless ephemeral and empowered space that soothes, inspires and enlightens.

Erik Wollo: Cloud of Strings (CD/Digital)

After many years and many electronic music albums, Norway's Wollo returns home, in a sense, on Cloud of Strings. Created on an assemblage of acoustic guitars, the album sees Wollo explore the instrument he first loved. It is musical spellwork driven by clear, resonant acoustic melody. The twelve moods are an intimate collection showcasing a fresh perspective on Wollo's artistic range and versatility. Erik masterfully manipulates the strings with elevated clouds of dulcet layered sound.

Forrest Fang: The Oort Cloud Meditations (CD/Digital)

A free-floating, transparent and gently unfolding electronic ambient space. Using synthesizers to a greater extent than on previous releases, Fang organically transforms their tones into undulating harmonic gestures through ambient treatments and processing. The five far-reaching movements proceed at a relaxed pace; drifting atmospheres ebb and expand gradually, encouraging the mind to wander untethered.

Unto Ashes: Orchids Grew Here (CD/digital)

Inspired by a resplendent tapestry of apocalyptic folk, gothic, and neoclassical influences, Unto Ashes' first album in 4 years is an enigmatic excursion into existential terror; of bliss and tragedy; of love and beauty; of hope in the face of universal void. The 12 illuminated sound-paintings are both enchanted and enchanting; they venture into a future of non-existence from a garden of withered orchids to interstellar black holes.

DELREI: Desolation and Radiation (digital)
ARC279 - 617026227924 ~ Genres: Rock, Spaghetti Western, Americana, Soundtrack. For fans of: Ennio Morricone, Chris Isaak, Angelo Badalamenti, David Lynch, James Wilsey. The shadowy twang of electric guitars, the dusty spectral melodies, the driving orchestral timpani, banjo, harmonica & mouth harp ... these are the elements with which Desolation and Radiation orchestrates a mythic western of the future. Italy's Alessandro Mercanzin imagines a visionary dystopia where a solitary figure navigates an inhospitable post-nuclear desert. It's a hypnotic land of cold haunted nights, lonely red vistas and somber personal solitude.

Arin Aksberg: It Flows Between Us (digital)
ARC270 - 617026227023 ~ Genres: Neo-Classical, Post-Rock, Ambient, Minimalism. RIYL: Joep Beving, Nils Frahm, Harold Budd, Olafur Arnalds, Sigur Ros, Brian Eno, Laraaji. It Flows Between Us is the sound of duality: neo-classical piano-based tracks and compositional ambient pieces juxtapose with occasional post-rock tones that originate within ethereal spaces before venturing into the depths of darkness. The album captures the contemplative, sensitive, and melancholic introspective moods one might expect from a 23-year-old artist living north of the Arctic Circle in Alta, Norway, where (for two months out of the year) the sun never rises above the horizon.
