Rishloo - Eidolon (2007)

An intriguing independent release I picked up recently; kind of like a Tool being fronted by a more versatile vocalist. Its one of those rare albums with a strong grasp of both the loud and the quiet, and I like that in my metal.

Have A Nice Life - Deathconciousness (2008)

Lo-fi shoegaze with lots of space, sparse electronic fog and folk touches throughout. Spellbinding.

Univers Zero - Clivages (2010)

Been quite awhile since this impeccable outfit has released a studio album, and all in all I'd place this as one of their strongest albums since Heresie from the late 70's. It's quite lighthearted as far as R.I.O. goes, but the rich instrumentation and memorable grooves make this a major highlight of the year for me so far.

Sounds delicious! DLing very soon.

Pre-ordered this:

Pretty cool that it's the 50th in this amazing series. Also exciting because Instra:Mental is a master of minimal/atomospheric DnB. :thumb:

It's amazing. I think I submitted a track for an old Monthly comp.

You will not be disappointed with that album, I grabbed it a few weeks ago and have been spinning it quite regularly. My only complaint is that I found the lyrics to be a bit dumbed down. They're still as captivating as ever but I don't know... It's more of an observation than a complaint when I think about it. If you've heard her EP see if you can understand what I'm saying.

Tyr - Eric the Red

Gonna get in touch with my inner viking tonight, sharpen my battle axe and prepare for Ragnarok!

I love that album! Classic indie-pop with that special charm.

Fantastic choice. The ambient/drone pieces are top notch.
