Packing only his most ambient synths & trusty guitar with only a lava lamp for illumination, tarotplane drops by Tonight’s Dream Records to pick up some sandwiches before setting his Universal Positioning System for the heart of the kosmische sun. Luckily there’s space in the van so hop on board for this most cosmic of road trips.
This is good…
Im very interested in this, cheers.
A recent one on growing bin. Not yet listened to the whole album but it was playing in local record shop and sounded pretty good, slow dubby Balearic house
New Kelela a beautiful exercise in restraint and wide open production. So nice. Wish it was about 20 mins long! Vid nice too.
Love this
That’s great
Sounds really intriguing - I’m going in…
It’s been a long stressful week, so the chill out agenda has been ditched for the day & the end of week freak is back, and there’s no better new listen than the driving, psychedelically swirling, insistent grooves and Pan-Arabic punk of Al-Qasar whose new LP for Glitterbeat is saying something on every level. I imagine the live show is worth travelling a long way for.
Here’s a shameless slice of self promotion as well 
The latest single from Greg Dallas & Jan Esbra’s forthcoming Confluence LP on The Slow Music Movement was released yesterday and it’s a sparkling, iridescent slice of ambient electronica that was arranged from the best moments of a 20 minute long intense improvised session by these two jazz guitarists. During the session they used an old piano, their guitars put through lots of effects pedals and a synth - I hope you enjoy it. Check out the video if you need a bit of neural rewiring

Still, Here | Marisa Anderson)

My favourite Greg Foat for quite a while
New other lands lp sounding nice.
This LP is so so nice - I loved his last and so far this is on par
Simon Popp was a new one on me when recommended on this thread a while ago. Pingo became a favourite.
He’s got a new album out soon. Loving this track DLY on the pre-order.
Looking forward to this!
If you need some company during your quieter moments then bend your ear towards the agreeably soft edged alt-folk & contemplative, cosmic leaning Americana of Small Sur as he articulates on familial affairs, friendship and resilience in in the age of virus. A really lovely listen via Worried Songs.
Sometimes you need some bump with your ambient escapism & there aren’t too many modern producers that do it better than Space Dimension Controller. Finally his Correlation EPs for Clone are available to stream; where he explores the full ambient house spectrum from dancefloor primed star reaching bangers, post club sleep aids to daydreamy, city headphone chuggers. See you the other side.
If you like this vibe then the TSMM Ambient House playlist might be up you street:
Lockdowns seem like a distant memory, but alongside the hardship & isolation they were also the incubators of so much creative endeavour, as the world finally had time to look around & notice the capitalist treadmill escape hatch. The new LP from Andrew Tasselmyer & Blurstem for Fluid Audio is the latest in the continuing trickle of LPs from that period, & a wonderful piano led neoclassical ambient LP that clearly focused on collaboration & creation rather than existential doom & isolation gloom.
