Best Synth/New New Age/Kosmik in 2009

Deep Magic/Love Cult - Split (cs, Existential Cloth Recordings)

New new age ... pure meditative bliss.

Cliffsides - Lucid dreams (cs, Digitalis Limited)

Synth goodness keeps on coming. Another winner from Cliffsides, which is rapidly becoming one of my favorites after other great releases on, Anathema Sound and Small Doses.










Brother Raven - Nellie (cs, Digitalis limited)

Music for time travel, teleportation and pure listening pleasure.

Umberto - From the grave (cs, Sonic Meditations)

Electro/synth project from Matt Hill inspired by 70's horror movies.

Expo 70 - Sonic Messenger (cd, Beta-lactam Ring Records)

Expo 70 has already put out an incredible string of releases in 2009 and this one tops them all. The packaging is amazing, the music even better. From heavy guitardrones to space and beyond ... it doesn't get any better than this.















Expo 70 - Corridors to infinity (cs, Sonic Meditations)

Another Expo 70 gem.

Dolphins into the Future - On sea-faring isolation (cs, Cetacean Nation Cassettes)

New age dolphin music ...

Oneohtrix Point Never - Rifts (2cd, No Fun Productions)

Kid Wizard - To the stars by hard ways (cs, Hidden Fortress)

Lo-fi space age electro for dancefloors in another dimension.

Emeralds - Emeralds (lp, Wagon)
