Another Love
Amy Hinami
It Was For You, It Was For Us
If I Had Been A Better Man
Through The Lower Room, We Rise Higher
A Careful Ecstasy
Review: When it comes to soundscape-inspired ambient music - of which, it should be noted, there is plenty around at present - it can be hard to construct an album that's as interesting and enjoyable as it is soothing. Luckily, BVDub is an old hand at this kind of thing. Since 1999, he's released an astonishing 18 albums. This 19th full-length is one of his best. Gorgeous, bewitching and emotion-rich, with enough intricate detail to keep headphone listeners immersed in his calming world, it simply oozes class. There are odd forays into more beatsy territory - see the piano and hip-hop beats of the dreamy "Through The Lower Room, We Reach Higher" - but he really excels when keeping it beatless. The title track, in particular, is fantastic.

And - "Calmness"
Method One - "Stalagmite"
Fis - "Two Swords"
Sam KDC - "Alleviate"
Asc - "Missing You"
Rq - "Waiting"
Bering Strait - "Background"
Elemental - "Archival"
Synth Sense - "FM Voice Uplink"
ASC - "Defiant To The End (VIP)"
Review: Over the last three years, ASC's Auxiliary label has offered a suitable home to producers inspired by the twin delights of sound design and experimental bass music. As a result, it's become one of the must-check labels for those inspired by the new wave of experimental D&B and leftfield electronica. This mid-price label compilation offers a neat glimpse into the label's intoxicating world. From the Autechre-on-valium vibes of Method One's "Stalagmite" and the Exit-ish delights of ASC's own "Defiant To The End (VIP)", to the voodoo electronics of FIS's "Two Swords" and RQ's bubbling "Waiting", there's plenty to enjoy.

February
Review: Lusine aka Jeff Mcllwain has been part of the Ghostly International crew since the early 00's and his individualistic yet immediately recognisable sound has been a considerable part of their road to success. He's finally back with this highly anticipated LP, and yes...it's a right scorcher from start to finish. "Panoramic" sets the scene in slo-mo hip-hop style, whilst "Get The Message" goes all crazy on the vocals, sounding something like Hot Chip on a balearic tip. There's definitely some more than memorable moments here, like the grooving 4/4 licks of "On Telegraph"; the hazy, psychedelic melodies on "Without A Plan"; or even the hummable chords of "By This Sound". Whatever your taste, Lusine is hear to sort you out - ten hypnotic tracks of downtempo house, neo-hip-hop delight and synth-led pop debaucheries.

She Sleeps (original)
She Sleeps (radio edit)
She Sleeps (Gang Gang dance remix)
She Sleeps (Ital remix)
Review: "She Sleeps" made for a welcome surprise on Hardcourage, Falty DL's recent Ninja Tune released album, calling on Friendly Fires vocalist Ed McFarlane to add his immediately recognisable warbles to a glistening production. It's obvious single material - with the radio edit here adding further credence - and the wonderful original is further complemented by remixes from two of Lustman's fellow New York dwellers in Gang Gang Dance and Ital. The former is delightful, adding unforeseen layers of ecstasy to McFarlane's vocals amidst a clopping beat and tropically infused melodic lead, whilst Ital goes in entirely the opposite direction, turning in a sludgy, strung out malfunctioning slab of techno.

I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance (ASC remix)
I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance (Arovane AMX 1)
I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance (Arovane AMX 2)
I Take Comfort In Your Ignorance (Tycho remix)
Review: City Centre Offices champ Ulrich Schnauss undergoes some tidy refixes on new label Script Realities, linking up with some like minded romantic souls within the more meditative corners of electronic music. ASC is in an especially floaty mood on his version, riding a slow and splayed beat in his usual brew of harmonious pads. Arovane turns in two efforts, serving up a beat-driven, soaring symphony and an ambient, shapeless bath of melody. Tycho has a more low-slung, VHS-filtered stomp on the go, of course garnished with plenty of meandering chords and chimes but definitely providing the most grit of all the tracks on offer.
