Neil Young + Promise of the Real - Paradox (Original Music From the Film) (2018) - "soundtrack to largely incoherent film achieves a shaky sense of grace thanks to the dusty music"
Mystic Moods Orchestra - Touch (1978) - "Comes in gatefold sleeve."
MV + EE - Liberty Rose (2010) - "this new album reaches slowly inward and outward at the same time, connecting distant echoes with our own utterances and creeping notes with our own synapses."
Sir Richard Bishop - Tangier Sessions (2015) - "Rick Bishop picked up a new guitar in Switzerland, and by the time he got to Tangier, these songs fell out!"
Sir Richard Bishop - The Freak of Araby (2009) - "includes covers of several songs written by Egyptian guitarist/composer Omar Khorshid"
Lusine - The Waiting Room (2013) - "demonstrates his prowess across melodic techno, deep house, and even the indie-electronic realm."

OM - God is Good (2009) - "What was once an implied spirituality, drawn out through trance-like repetition, has become spoon-fed."
Fucking Am - Gold (2004) - "Indie rock for metalheads, Gold is intellectual and immediately satisfying"
Dope Body - Natural History (2012) - "juxtaposing tighter musicianship and a sleeker ear for melody while retaining the intensity that’s made them an archetype for sweaty-basement fuzz."
Tycho - Awake (Deluxe Version) (2016) - "a compelling gallery of electronic minimalism whose emotional depth requires a rich listen."
Nosaj Thing - No Reality (2016) - "Startling synths, hand claps, looping pianos, a constantly fluctuating background, just some of his inherent placemats set here"

Klein - Tommy EP (2017) - "the London electronic musician slathers on processed vocals in thick, inky layers"
Bitchin Bajas - Transporteur (2015) - "mostly based on synths that have been used to build warm, dusty, and comforting sound through looping melodic patterns that are layered over top of a foundation of gentle drones."
Scout Niblett - The Calcination of Scout Niblett (2010) - "Her music has always been lonely, introverted, and anguished, but the stakes seem much higher on this album, like it's a do-or-die scenario."
