Rest in peace, Klaus Wiese (1942-2013).
A bit of an oddity amongst Klaus' discography. It's similar to "KW" in that it largely consists of shorter tracks that often include digital percussion (with a smattering of acoustic percussion presumably provided by Ted de Jong). Like KW, it's rather extraordinary among latter-day Wiese albums in that most of the pieces are unique to this release, with a few notable exceptions - eg, "Velvet Octaves" is identical to "Canyon I" from the eponymous album.
Hope you enjoy! :)

Nicholas Dodd – Starlands 3 [Full album]
Arcane certainties veiled by the incomprehensible core...
The third and final cassette in Dodd's epic "Starlands" series. It's just as gorgeous and spellbinding as the first. Sadly, the second tape continues to elude me despite over two years of scouring the internet - but I won't give up, rest assured.
Enjoy! :)

Viridian Sun – Solar Noise [Full album]
The incandescence of ionizing particles, sparkling in coronal choreography...
Abyssal cosmic atmospheres. I'm not a huge fan of labels, but this would seem to qualify as "space music" - though I don't see that subgenre mentioned often nowadays for some reason!
Headphone listening recommended. The mood here is hard to pinpoint... it's neither happy nor sad, it merely is. Enjoy! :)
All music composed, performed, arranged & produced by Michael Griffin and David Tollefson.

The Necks – Quay/Raab
Three virtuosos at the height of their powers come together to express the ineffable...
The Necks combine jazz and ambient in a way that few others have attempted. These two live performances are among their best work from their early minimalist period - before they began adding synths and various other instrumental layers to liven up the pieces. Enjoy! :)
Taken from the quadruple album "Athenaeum, Homebush, Quay & Raab".
Piano by Chris Abrahams.
Bass by Lloyd Swanton.
Drums by Tony Buck.

Les Jumeaux - Feathercut [Full album]
A majestic reunion with the stars that birthed us...
Early 90s downtempo electronica. Something with a beat for once, eh? :P Crazily enough, this is actually a side project of the martial industrial group In the Nursery - it couldn't be more radically divergent from their usual output. Hope you enjoy! :)
All music composed, performed, arranged & produced by Klive & Nigel Humberstone, with additional production by Steve Harris.
Vocals and lyrics by Dee la Rocha.
