Harold Budd - The Pearl
83

The lovechild of composer Harold Budd and Ambient legend Brian Eno, The Pearl is a decently engaging ambient release that floats quietly between calming, meditative waves and sadder, more emotional ties.

The soundscapes on The Pearl are pretty well-composed, with lighter drone acting as an background accompaniment to well-chosen chords and keyboard. The project is sonically no different than a lot of the other ambient that I've listened to, although The Pearl is consistently melancholic ... read more

Harold Budd - Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror
80

One of the more decent Brian Eno projects, Ambient 2: The Plateaux of Mirror is a pretty decent ambient project that didn't blow me away, but did enough to make it memorable.

Not much to say about this album, great atmosphere, as always. Brian Eno really is a genius,

아버지 [father2006] - 흰색 죽음 [White Death]
80

The debut release by Dark Ambient/Drone artist 아버지 [father2006], 흰색 죽음 [White Death] is a decently interesting collection of gloomy and foreboding ambient melodies that manages it's spooky ambiance well.

흰색 죽음 [White Death] feels like a languid, creeping journey through dark, stygian environments that seem eerily cold and empty. Lightly airy and vapor-like whispers and shadowed mumbling come in and out between the subtle rumbling of the background track, making for ... read more

Fishmans - 宇宙 日本 世田谷 [Uchu Nippon Setagaya]
89

宇宙 日本 世田谷 [Uchu Nippon Setagaya] is magical. But then again, that's just Fishmans. 宇宙 日本 世田谷 is probably Fishmans' most ambient record, and as always, I greatly enjoyed the lush, intricate soundscapes that the band has become known for.

宇宙 日本 世田谷 is an ethereal experience, a psychedelic journey that manages to be pretty complex musically and aesthetically. At this point in their career, Fishmans had already gotten down the key ingredients ... read more

Thaiboy Digital - ส [Tiger]
80

The debut mixtape by Drain Gang rapper and creative Thaiboy Digital, ส [Tiger] is a surprisingly potent debut that provides a heavy dose of Cloud-Rap/Trap charm, without overstaying its welcome.

The production on ส [Tiger] is a hazy mix of neon-like synths, deep trap and bass, and plucky near-medieval strings and chords. Thaiboy’s vocals here are pretty similar to his delivery on future projects, and we get the very laid-back and uninterested autotuned mumbling that would later ... read more
