Interesting experimental ambient downtempo sounds from an artist called Gone and an album called "The Circle Is Open But Never Broken". Quiet, beautiful and very textural this dark gothic soundscape reads like a film score to a forgotten 8mm art movie. All analogue in its execution there is more richness to this album than a lot of other artists of a similar ilk. There's also a lot of loose song writing and vocals permeating through, creating a fogged out mash of sounds.
Download "The Circle Is Open But Never Broken" for free from Bandcamp, and check out and download the other two similar and equally good albums called "The Darkling" and "Sins Of The Visitation"

Fuzzed out drone and noise, awash with buzzing, aching, slow grinding mountains of enormous sonic stature. The soundtrack to the grinding of the giant cogs upon which the planets sun and moon rotate around the earth.

You can go buy the album for $4 from Bandcamp if you want.
Epic soundscape maximalist stuff from Blank Mass a London based artist. This is all synth magic and wonder, orchestral and nature focused, the soundtrack to burgeoning suns, time-lapse footage from the International Space Station of approaching dawn thirteen times a day, waterfalls in the pitch black of mega caves, the endless trails of ants through forests as old as recorded time.
You can't download the album but you can listen to it on Bandcamp.
A full on experimental lo-fi project here from an artist called Sinice Tosh from Germany.
A meditation on calm cold emptyness and feverish wamth strangling all love and silence, communicating in nothing, somehow embedded in yourself and you and us feeling lost and placed. Tipping over, tipping in. Diving above. Layering a truce between fear, hope and girth. Flying above us. Diving in. Trying to see through. Seeing again.

i0 by Alley Catss is a too raw noise and power soundscape world of drone and hiss, electronic collisions of effects, metal machine music for 2054, when we really make it to Mars, bereft of human flesh, pure machine bodies communicating in code, searching the red dust for signs of millennial old life forms, beaming back packages of information in indecipherable languages to be read by Ai life forms only.
