#536 Global Communication - 76.14

A decidedly ambient album, taking a cue from Aphex Twin perhaps and eschewing track names to leave you open for the abstractiest abstractness possible.

This strikes the right balance, building in just enough structure to keep thing from being formless, but maintaining that ethereal, beyond-space-and-time quality that is the hallmark of the best ambient music. Not quite hypnotic, not quite evocative, but there: a haunted house that trucks in eerie moments rather than jump scares. Great example of the style, great place to start if you're looking to dip a toe 4/5
