The River of Appearance by vidnaObmana (Review)
This is some of the most relaxing music I own, and by far one of the best ambient albums I own.

Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada by Godspeed You! Black Emperor (Review)
This is true pre-millenial tension, folks.

The White Songbook by Joy Electric (Review)
The best way to sum up The White Songbook is as a consummation.
The Tick Tock Treasury by Joy Electric (Review)
While still a magnificent feast for the ears, every song on The Tick Tock Treasury reminds me of past Joy Electric albums.
Christiansongs by Joy Electric (Review)
Ronnie’s made a gutsy move on this one, pushing on with his own musical vision and remaining steadfast to his spiritual beliefs.
We Are the Music Makers by Joy Electric (Review)
At the risk of sounding cheesy, Joy Electric’s music brings back a sort of wistfulness for more innocent, carefree days.
Melody by Joy Electric (Review)
I would strongly recommend it to anyone who likes techno-dance-computer-music-video-game soundtrack-sounding music.
Bloc Party EP by Bloc Party (Review)
There’s a rawness and unsteadiness to Bloc Party’s sound which is both their saving grace and greatest shortcoming.
Bleeding Light by Aarktica (Review)
Those expecting a full-on return to the massive, glacial soundscapes of Aarktica’s first album, No Solace In Sleep, might be somewhat disappointed.Fingerpaint the Colour of Sound by Stellarscope (Review)
Stellarscope do a fine, fine job of blending the atmospherics inherent to the genre with a nice pop sensibility.
The Five Star Stories by Kazuo Yamazaki (Review)
What we have here is merely a taste, and I, for one, am left wanting much more.
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind by Hayao Miyazaki (Review)
Nausicaä Of The Valley Of The Wind is worth watching if only to give one a much better context in which to appreciate Miyazaki’s movies.
Anthems for the Could’ve Bin Pills by K.c. Accidental (Review)
K.C. Accidental perfectly straddles the line between Do Make Say Think and Broken Social Scene.
Hidden by Caul (Review)
There’s hardly a minute on the disc that isn’t awash with blackened waves of drone and drift, eerie scrapings and ringings, and whatnot.
Merry Mixmas by Various Artists (Review)
Forgettable, obviously churned out to fill a niche, and reeking of assembly line workmanship.
Falling Through the Clouds EP by Random (Review)
This is a perfectly crafted CD, both in packaging and in craft.
Joyful Rebellion by K-Os (Review)
K-Os, in a gentle, nasal flow of intelligent lyrics, reminds his listeners of the true roots of hip-hop.
