对不起…… The Album Leaf真不是冰岛的……

Standing in Silence is Rhian's first album in almost 4 years and will be released through LOOP Recordings on the 23rd February 2009. The Album features some fantastic musicians and collaborations with Jeff Boyle (Jakob), Andy Hummel and Jeremiah Ross (Module), as well as some stunning photography from Andrei Jewell.
It's essentially a collection of cinematic lullaby soundscape textures interwoven into the subtle melodious sonic of experimental electronica, musicbox's, glockenspiels, lush electric guitar washes, plucked and bowed pianos, wine glasses, string sections and murmuring crowds.

2011 album from the Canadian Electronic musician and sound artist. Recorded in a church in Reykjavik, Iceland and using a pipe organ as the primary sound source, this piece is essentially a live recording. In reality, it exists in a nether world between captured live performance and meticulous studio work, melding the two approaches to sonic artifice as a unity. It is in parts a document of air circulating within a wooden room, and also a pagan work of physical resonance within a space once reserved for the hallowed breath of the divine.

The second release from the japonese label Schole is a collaboration between AKIRA KOSEMURA and HARUKA NAKAMURA. Both are from Tokyo and starting to attract people’s attention by taking part in many compilation inside and outside Japan. AKIRA KOSEMURA has for example just released an other album on the australian label Someone Good (lead by Lawrence English). The album “Afterglow” is created with light sounds. It resembles the end of summer and surely puts the words of remembrance and memoir together.

The Orb's Adventures Beyond the Ultraworld is the debut studio album by English electronic music group The Orb, released as a double album on 2 April 1991 by Big Life. It is a continuous, progressive composition consisting of several tracks advancing the "journey" concept; its framework is of a two-hour psychedelic trip through genres and studio electronics, produced to "push the threshold" of live stage performance, and comprising vocal samples and sound effects interspersed with original music.

Selected Ambient Works 85–92 is the debut album by the British electronic music artist and producer Aphex Twin, also known as Richard D. James. It was released on 9 November 1992 through Apollo Records, a subsidiary of the Belgian label R&S Records. The album consists of ambient techno James recorded on cassette as early as 1985, when he was 13–14 years old. It received widespread acclaim and entered the Dance Albums Chart at No. 6 in December 1992.

Selected Ambient Works 85–92 is considered a classic, defining work of electronica. Music journalists have credited it with expanding the scope of ambient music and introducing techno to fans of indie music. The website AllMusic described it as "a masterpiece of ambient techno".[1] Selected Ambient Works 85–92 has appeared on best-of lists; in 2012 the UK magazine Fact named it the greatest album of the 1990s.

For the past two years, Nils Frahm has been building a brand new studio in Berlin to make his 7th studio album titled All Melody. Since the day Nils first encountered the impressive studio of a family friend, he had envisioned to create one of his own at such a large scale. Fast forward to the present day and Nils is now the proud host of Saal 3, part of the historical 1950s East German Funkhaus building beside the River Spree. It is here where he has spent most of his time deconstructing and reconstructing the entire space from the cabling and electricity to the woodwork, before moving on to the finer elements; building a pipe organ and creating a mixing desk all from scratch with the help of his friends. This is somewhere music can be nurtured and not neglected, and where he can somewhat fulfill his pursuit of presenting music to the world as close to his imagination as possible.
His previous albums have often been accompanied with a story, such as Felt (2011) where he placed felt upon the hammers of the piano out of courtesy to his neighbours when recording late at night in his old bedroom studio, and the following album Screws (2012) when injuring his thumb forced him to play with only nine fingers. His new album is born out of the freedom that his new environment provided, allowing Nils to explore without any restrictions and to keep it All about the Melody. Despite being confined within the majestic four walls of the Funkhaus, buried deep in its reverb chambers, or in an old dry well in Mallorca, All Melody is, in fact, proof that music is limitless, timeless, and reflects that of Nils’ own capabilities. From a boy’s dream to resetting the parameters of music itself.

Seeping to the surface two years since his cherished and widely acclaimed 'Persistent Repetition Of Phrases' LP, 'An Empty Bliss Beyond The World' returns our doddering protagonist to the deserted ballroom, wandering its waxed floor and dilapidated grandeur in an attempt to capture an era which has long since disappeared but still haunts the atmosphere. In the meantime he's accessed an alternate set of memory banks with his derivés into Leyland Kirby land, but back in The Caretaker role, James Leyland Kirby conjures a quieter, more introspective spirit, lost in his own mind amidst a low-lit labyrinth of ever-decaying and antediluvian shellac phrases. Sourced from his mysterious collection of 78s, these vague snippets of archaic sonics reflect the ability of Alzheimers patients to recall the songs of their past, and with them recollections of places, people, moods and sensations. The effect is subtly amplified by the chronic vinyl cut at Berlin's D&M, allowing each memory to segue seamlessly and unpredictably into the next for an otherworldly and disorienting experience. Coupled with another deeply enigmatic artwork commission from Ivan Seal, 'An Empty Bliss Beyond The World', is a highly potent transmission from one of the most singular characters operating in music today.

THE CARETAKER IS RELEASING SIX NEW WORKS.
'Everywhere at the end of time' is a new and finite series exploring dementia, its advance and its totality. Featuring the sounds from the journey The Caretaker will make after being diagnosed as having early onset dementia. Each stage will reveal new points of progression, loss and disintegration. Progressively falling further and further towards the abyss of complete memory loss and nothingness. Viewing dementia as a series of stages can be a useful way to understand the illness, but it is important to realise that this only provides a rough guide to the progress of the condition. Drawing on a recorded history of 20 years of recollected memories this is one final journey and study into recreating the progression of dementia through sound.

James Kirby's work as The Caretaker has always dealt with the suggestion of haunted memory and the obscuring of temporal motion, and this latest album makes that more explicit than ever, with titles that reference amnesia, Alzheimer's, past life regression and other such memory misfires and short circuits. Musically, this album might be compared to Philip Jeck's manipulated vinyl tracts, featuring similarly oceanic swells of crackle and dust, with faded pianos or big band sounds wafting wraith-like across the mix. After conjuring the sinister atmospherics of The Shining with his debut album Selected Memories From The Haunted Ballroom, The Caretaker has been chasing this idea of sound leaving its indelible mark on a space and time, so consequently these creepy, semi-dissolved musical passages sound no more tangible than shadows, and the album for the most part comes across as some sort of séance held via wax cylinder. Arguably the most accomplished and rewarding Caretaker album to date, Persistent Repetition Of Phrases is an album you'll want to snap up fast - there's only 500 of these in circulation...

《Melody / Summer 旋律/夏日》是来自美国马萨诸塞州波士顿的 The Tumbled Sea 下跌的海 的第二张专辑，网上有人评价说“Silence is also a Sound”，即沉默也是一种声音。专辑定位是Ambient(氛围)、Dark-ambient(黑暗氛围)、Post-rock(后摇滚)、Piano(钢琴)、Minimal(简约)。氛围的确是有，黑暗倒是不见得，简约确实很到位。不同于一般的清爽专辑的表达方式，可是夏天的味道却愈加深刻。然后多些其它元素，还好，并不显繁杂，宛如夜来香。不要怀疑曲名，确实就是这样子的，偶尔给夏天编目也不错，夏日一曲夏日二曲，还不按顺序穿插着来，因为这个夏季会不一般。

冰岛新的年轻天才，很有涵养的Olafur Arnalds 能把古典元素融合在氛围和微电子节拍里，有Sigur Ros的味道，也有Mum的感觉。
Olafur Arnalds原来在家乡Mosfellsbaer离雷克雅维克偏壤的一个小镇上，他同时身兼多支Hardcore乐队的鼓手职务，先是替友人的乐团My Summer as a Salvation Soldier担任多项乐器伴奏，还获邀为美国Indie-Rock乐团Cursive担任德国巡回演出的伴奏乐手。Olafur Arnalds的个人音乐作品以钢琴和弦乐为主， 与其说是post-rock， 不如干脆说是modern classical。

今年他们终于出版了首张正式专辑《I hold a wish for you》，取材自日常生活的所思所感，九首歌曲融合乐器演奏、温暖人声呢喃与柔和声响采样。从纯粹抒情的“On the Summer Solstice”、有着浓密多层次音景的《花火》再到即兴写意的“common colors in the air”，他们全心全意打造出一张满载追忆与情感，却跳脱文字，纯粹以深思熟虑的声音设计营造出独特氛围的专辑，《l hold a wish for you》无疑在动人旋律与实验声响间找到个人化的绝佳平衡。而他们的好朋友，日本新生代著名音乐人haruka nakamura也特别为他们的“Endless Dreamless”作了一个原音版编曲，其实他们早前已经在nakamura的个人专辑《grace》中有客串过，这回算是礼尙往来吧。
