Resurrecting thread to direct further attention to Zyntax Motorcity. Many tasty electro morsels here.

Dang are there no digimals for the Sandoz box set available anywhere? I missed the boat.

Virtual State is one of my all-time favorites.

This is continuing on with the cinematic-sounding turn that Ital Tek has taken recently, but I can't say I'm mad about it. I want to watch whatever this is the soundtrack to.

Oh wow, this is straight up new HIA and it's got that HIA feel without sounding at all like B-cuts from the 90s. Fresh!

Didn't seem worth a new thread, but a surprising and very excellent track appeared on RWD's bandcamp: https://reiddunn.bandcamp.com/track/remember5 Album teaser?

I've been getting so used to 2-month album teases and incremental track releases and then I wake up and sean and rob have made a random wednesday into an event.

Okay, fuck, you are completely right. Another listen and this album opened up for me. And how did I not notice how varied and painfully beautiful r catz is? Still M4 Lema superfan though.

7 letters: Surgeon. "This is for you shits, too." mix.

Yeeeeeeeeeeees, all of this. I've been aching for a third SIM80 joint since Kinetic Origins. This does not disappoint. Do we have any idea who this is? Seems crazy that the output would be so sparse, but sound so skillful.

Heh, sure, but Anti EP is the perfect counterpoint. You’d expect a set of tracks that were intended to “non-repetitive dance music” to be 1000 variations on the same 4 bars, but listen to the amazing development within each of the 3 tracks. It’s that element that I’m greedily wanting Autechre to fuse with their current level of virtuoso command of sound design, rhythm, and even melody.

Yeah that’s it. Although I don’t think there’s just the one arc that can give a song some development. Give me... a breakdown, or a key change, or... something. Autechre *does* do these things, and I think those are some of the tracks that I love most. But most of SIGN’s tracks do seem to just start on a plateau of intricate, variegated beauty and then just stay there for several minutes. We can explore all the amazing micro structural variation but it’s 1000 ways to deliver the same 4 bars or whatever.

I'm very much of two feelings about SIGN. The complexity, depth, dynamics, and texture is just incredible throughout. Every recognizable repeating musical element seems to emerge from a seething quantum foam, delivering infinite permutations on the same emotional hit. Every track is deep, and fascinating and rewards the best possible audio equipment you can muster. But then that's also what kind of puts me off. Maybe it's just greediness, but I keep wanting more macro-scale development. The emotional hits are sweet, but it seemslike it would have been so simple to let them develop, to let the tracks shift direction and have more of a beginning, middle and end. At a micro scale nothing repeats, but once you've found the groove within the chaos, it's kind of monotonous. M4 Lema being the exception. It does everything right that the rest of SIGNs does, but the development – even as one of the longer tracks – puts it over to being top-10 material. And dat funky beat.

I think these are tracks from an ever-forthcoming Periphery album, like that previous Guardian drop. Sounding good though. Sounding real good.

Agreed. I followed your signpost to plant43 over in that morphology thread and ended up getting this and From Deep Streams. Neither really "ambient" so much as top-notch late night music.

This one really is outstanding.

There has to be some way to at least optionally disable the pointless right-side bar.

That does seem like an incredibly cylob thing to do.

ready for midrange to be cut, and bass dropped.

I kept having to double check that I wasn't listening to a new Lorn EP. (This is a good thing.)

The more I listen to this, the more I appreciate it, especially at highest practical volume and/or with headphones as suggested. It's way more of a "journey" album than his previous output, with so much satisfaction to be had.
