Dmitry Fedoschenko pointed me to this new release on his label, Black Mara Records. It is a slow, deep, echoing ride down a chasm into a digital cave, where the sounds envelop you much in the way the masters like Steve Roach and Robert Rich, especially in his collaborations with Lustmørd, used to do. Black ambient has a wonderful future in Russia.
Cluster are the grandfathers of ambient and electronica. This is one of great places to start if you want to learn the history of electronic music.
Takahiro Yorifuju’s music is soothing and supple, but new heights are reached on the single, 42 minute Apsidal Motion. Inspired by the starlit sky of Nigata and the countryside of Japan, Apsidal Motion is a dreamy delight. Above all, it’s beautiful music, and we mustn’t take its beauty for granted.

From the Youtube site of Rob Galo:
Otomo Yoshihide’s entire performance at the gallery Transformer Station, in the Hingetown / Ohio City district of Cleveland, Ohio. The concert took place on 5/09/16. It was part of the concert series CMA At The Transformer Station.
Otomo’s set that evening composed of Ornette Coleman’s “Lonely Woman,” his own composition “The Blue Kite” (I believe) and Charlie Haden’s “Song For Che,” in that order.
One of the more intriguing releases to pass my desktop in some time. Ferrara, Italy’s Gianni Venturi and Lucien Moreau describe their work here:
Art. Music. Poetry. MOLOCH is the conjunction point between two artists and their visions. A collaborative work about the concepts of capitalism, humankind, ancient cultures, freedom, with an eastern flavor and a hint of madness. But also a due tribute to great icons, such as Allen Ginsberg and William Blake. Electronic orchestral music meets poetry and words with a strong cinematic result.
Italian indie magazine Music Won’t Save You reviews a lot of brilliant albums. If you’re a native Italian speaker, or simply want to brush up, consider subscribing to their site.
Explosions In The Sky’s new release is another masterpiece, by the way.
I was fortunate enough to meet Jeffrey Roden when I used to work at the legendary Aron’s Records, and would also see him at Gábor Csupó’s avant-restaurant, Lumpy Gravy, to perform. A true gentleman and scholar, as well as a great bassist and pianist, I’m happy to report that Jeffrey is now fully funded for his project, releasing three CDs with Solaire Records.
Here is his Kickstarter page, which launched this endeavor.
Musik Aus Dem Schattenreich is an avant-progressive masterpiece by German electronic music composer Peter Fröhmader’s band Nekropolis.
The Orchestra Of Mirrored Reflections are a project out of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, who are led by guitarist Jol Tai. They make a music reminiscent of musicians like Jon Hassell and bands like Tuxedomoon at their most experimental.
These folks are definitely going to be worth following.
What a cover. Julia Guther’s “remixed artwork” is the EP’s entry point, making one think, I have to hear this.
