Old Saw - The Wringing Cloth shimmering cosmic americana. ambient country waves. I don't know what to call this but I'm kinda blown away here.

In the building's penumbra, not even breathing hard, so elegantly that you couldn't say jimmied, she more like Jamesed the side door lock with a needle of antique ivory the Sensei had given her long ago, and slipped within... "Jamesed" I love his playfulness with language

Bochum Welt - Kissing a Robot Goodbye sub-half hour slice of scifi-tinged idm grooves, somewhere between the Artificial Intelligence era and the og Selected Ambient Works. that sound + the 80s new wave cover art, you'd never guess it dropped in 2004. really fun stuff

CFCF - Radiance and Submission one of my very favorite sad-ecstatic albums, leaning into drifting, dreamy acoustic/vocal ambient compositions. still electronic, but fleetingly tactile as smoke drifting by in the wind.

False Aralia 05 & 06 ๐ฌ๏ธ mindfuck experimental dub from Izaak Schlossman on a laser-focused imprint from Brian Foote of Peak Oil. think Purelink & Topdown Dialectic, further abstracted and more human at the same time. incredible project so far, these new 12"s may be the best yet

I just counted and so far I've got 171 albums on my 2025 list. Not all are gonna make it to my big AOTY list in December but damn.. that's a lot of great music, and the year isn't over. ...in fact, while typing this out I just paused to add another to my list.

cv313 - Dimensional Space a ~dub techno holy grail~ landed on my doorstep. new 3lp reissue of an album I've sought for a decade. of all the variations & reconfigurations of this music, this set of six galactic mind warpers is my very favorite. essential document of the genre

I saw these shoes at a Halloween party on Friday and thought of the Lรด Borges album cover. seems silly to post now but I'm still listening to his music so why not. beautiful to see so many folks around the world sharing their love for him over the past day.

had to revisit Clube da Esquina in honor of Lรด Borges. perhaps the most *all timer* of all timers on my record shelves, an album I could listen to any time, any day, and feel my spirits lifting. RIP ๐ฏ๏ธ

Robert Schroeder - Floating Music ๐ there's nothing like tumbling into a new-to-me kosmische gem. this one fits perfectly alongside Klaus Schulze's dreamy excursions of the late 70s/early 80s, fitting because he produced the album
