It might be the album’s answer to the Midnight Movies of the late ‘60s and 1970s where it still continues to thrive, and we got something special with this bad boy.

It can all work if you inject a hefty dose of individuality into it all, and that is exactly what Nyte and The Awakening do on this self-titled album.

End Of The Middle is another extraordinary achievement for Dawson (or Rich), it’s compassionate, smart and unfailingly human.

This is the band that are really giving us the adventure that is quite challenging, but worth exploring.

Uulliata Digir weaves complex song structures with strange twists, collecting various emotional outbursts and shaping a fascinating avant-garde temperament.

The seemingly incompatible sounds she comes up with throughout the album sound like they have always belonged together, exactly as Ganya envisioned them.

Hultén has proven to be such an amazing artist on his own term to keep the pace up with more and more incredible results.

One Hundred Year Old Man. Marshall Allen appropriately celebrates a hundred solar rotations by drawing on the cosmic energies of the universe and the paths forged by Sun Ra.

Saor delivers here almost one hour of stunning music that opens a mysterious world where nature roars and rules.

The right album at the right time for to release their sole self-titled debut by kicking things off for 2025 with a big bang. And it’s a strong meditated release that’ll be talked about in the years to come.

What we get is a cool, calm and collected combination of improvisation and composition that any late-night listener will keep close to their chest (and play medium of choice).

Merciless isn’t just a fantastic album, it is as brutal, harder, skull-crunching, gangsta rap, political, and the dystopian nightmare that’s unfolding in front of our very eyes.

No Hill for a Climber has proven to be the most majestic, orchestrated, and uplifting albums that he and The Resonance unleashed last year.

Great from top to bottom, front to back. Honestly, while it joins an impressive discography it’s up there with his very best.

The chemistry is there, the arrangements may take a while to understand from their previous two albums, but its quite an interesting listen, top to bottom.

This album turns out to be a quite dazzling collage of sounds, something that you can call a ‘true’ ambient music.

The circle is in full swing as filmmakers Adele Schmidt and Jose Zegarra Holder brings the cycle to an end with the third and final part of the krautrock trilogy from the Romantic Warriors series.

This isn’t a record that sets out to be more evil than the competition, nor is it a particularly harsh listen – hell, in the right frame of mind this could be positively meditative – but there’s a pervading sense of unease in the way that the drones, moans and groans seem to slither and ooze.

Gnome take a thunderous step up onto the global stoner-rock stage, losing none of their sense of humour in the process.

A marriage of Buddhist practice and amplifier worship that never feels the need to differentiate between the two, applying the opposing/complementing forces of yin and yang to create works that are genuinely transformative.

Another way to bring in the new year with some killer, true-to-form sounds that is needed.
