Just listened through Cafe Kaput's 2022 album "Maritime (Themes and Textures)". Work day certified indeed. I was going to post the album closer and title track but can't find much on Yootoob so won't bother.

Album is worth a check out though. Breezy.

Eluvium’s Matthew Cooper has a new album on the way. It‘s titled (Whirring Marvels In) Consensus Reality and it’s out May 12 via Temporary Residence.

Code: Select all

According to a press release about the album, Cooper drew inspiration from works by T.S. Eliot and Richard Brautigan for new material before the onset of severe chronic pain in his left arm. He recalibrated his focus toward compositions that allowed him to use algorithmic and automated elements. After releasing Pianoworks in 2019, Cooper issued the companion albums Virga I and Virga II within the last two years.

Came across this 2023 release by Brendan Eder Ensemble, Therapy. Been a treat as background music at work today, but this tune here really grabbed me for some reason. I think its the oboe.



They do no less than 3 Aphex Twin covers on the album too, not that you'd pick 'em.

Here's another "workday certified" 2023 release I've come across recently. Greg? Foat & Gigi Masin's album Dolphin. It has some jazz touches as Foat is a jazz keyboardist but Masin is 100% in the ambient camp, so this is kinda a down-tempo affair.

Here's my fave track from it - London Nights:

In further signs that I am currently in the midst of "losing my shit", that "?" after Greg? in my post above DOES NOT EXIST. I didn't type it and it doesn't exist when I try to edit the post. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH ME??????

<Edit> Its done it again. I think there is one of those old RM typing tricksy code things still active that puts a "?" after that particular mane when anyone types it. Cool I guess.

None of us are ever that far away from full gone batshit crazy in these global southern suburbs, are we Ello?

I am currently on the road but I am keen to check this out.

[Higgs]

And I did. Holy cow indeed. That's excellent. Rides the boundary of dissonance but swings to groove at every turn. Gonna grab that album fo sho.

Is this where we talk about groups like beatfarmer and other real ambient music?
