Achterbahn D’Amour: Odd Movements (Acid Test / Absurd Recordings)Without fail, every year there are at least a handful of totally nice albums that slip by me completely unnoticed....

Ear Influxion’s Best Albums of 2014 It’s a bit late compared to most year-end music lists, but I like to take my time to listen to year-end releases and see what grabs me....

Clark: Clark (Warp) I’ve written before about Chris Clark as someone I consider to be somewhat of an unsung hero in current electronic music. He often discovers and explores sounds well...

Cassegrain: Centres of Distraction (Prologue) Cassegrain’s brand of techno is decidedly dark and minimal. The duo has released numerous EPs (I wrote about their Tiamat EP here, but they...

Young Magic: Breathing Statues (Carpark) Young Magic is an act I stumbled onto after I saw their 2012 debut Melt highlighted on a year-end list. I really enjoyed that album’s rougher...

Vessel: Punish, Honey (Tri Angle) Seb Gainsborough’s second outing as Vessel on Tri Angle is a far cry from his debut from 2012. While his debut flirted with the post-dubstep landscapes...

Clap! Clap!: Tayi Bebba (Black Acre) Digi G’Alessio (né Cristiano Crisci) is the Italian producer behind Clap! Clap!, his nom de musique here being an ironic spin on Italian pop singer...

Vessel: “Red Sex” (Punish, Honey, Tri Angle 2014) Vessel’s Punish, Honey is near the top of my favorites of 2014, and I haven’t even been able to write about it yet. But for...

Lee Gamble: Koch (Pan) Lee Gamble’s music continues to evolve on its own unusual arc, with Koch working as a double-album (approaching 80 minutes) that has as many twists and turns in its...

Marsen Jules: At GRM (Oktaf) The first time I heard Marsen Jules’ music, it was back in 2006 when the Germany IDM label City Centre Offices released his 3rd album, Les Fleurs. Jules’ music...

Plaid: Reachy Prints (Warp) Ed Handley and Andy Turner are way too good to be taken for granted. I reminded myself of that when Reachy Prints surfaced three years after their last...

Efdemin: Decay (Dial) The latest from Phillip Sollman as Efdemin is a significant departure from his previous albums. It’s also one of the best techno albums of recent past, making the...
