A revered mainstay of the German underground for decades, Blumm seems to have found a true home here for his signature sound: sublime instrumental arrangements, long melodic lines, acoustic timbres and subtly sculpted atmospheres — contemporary chamber music with one foot firmly planted in minimalism.⁠ The first single ‘While Leaving’ is out today. Floating chorales, bowed double bass, a first glimpse of the record to come.

On April 10, 1977, Tangerine Dream unleashed their machines at Montreal's Place des Arts for a now-legendary concert. Broadcast live on CHOM-FM, the set—structured yet feverishly alive—stands as a peak of their first North American tour. Sequencers in overdrive, feral guitars, Moogs on the edge of collapse: a full-blown electronic trip. Laserium drenched the hall, Baumann ruled the modulations. 125 decibels of controlled vertigo. Montreal had no idea what was coming. And when it ended, it begged for more.

Renowned composer Simon Fisher Turner presents his brand new album Instability of the Signal, released via Mute. Recorded by Simon Fisher Turner and Music Producers Guild Awards winner Francine Perry, this 13-track album is an intricate exploration of sound, inspired by the creative minds of Breda Beban, Hrvoje Horvatic, and poet Harold Pinter, whose verses ‘Democracy’ and ‘The Special Relationship,’ feature on the record.

Virga I is the first album in a new ambient music series by Eluvium. Matthew Cooper, the composer behind the Eluvium moniker, explains: “I had recently been playing around with various forms of generative music and long-format looping – as well as practicing patience interacting with musical systems and recordings – hesitantly dueting with them, trying to keep things minimal while also encouraging as much depth as possible. It was really just something fun to privately experiment with for personal gain.

At the top of 2020 – a year that began like any other but ended like none other – Matthew Robert Cooper’s Eluvium moniker unveiled a new ambient album series built around generative music and long-form loops. Intended as a minor, limited-edition stop-gap between proper albums, Virga I unexpectedly became a balm for many in a year of overwhelming anxiety and uncertainty.

Virga III is the third installment in Eluvium’s inspired experimental series – and the first in nearly five years. In unmistakable contrast to the dense, ominous sprawl of Virga II, the works that make up Virga III offer an almost divine reprieve. The nervous tension, loss of control, and patient recontextualization that inspires each volume of the Virga series manifests in unique ways. As composer and Eluvium architect, Matthew Robert Cooper describes, “While Virga I was brought to me by a temporarily evacuation from my house to my garage during a winter snowstorm – and Virga II by a phantasmal dream sequence during the height of a global pandemic – Virga III takes its inspiration from the worlds found in minor green spaces, culverts, and other miniature biological ecosystems operating within our daily deluge of cruel rhetoric, unspeakable violence, unending disruption and devastating disparity. A reflection on the micro and macro universes that surround us.”

Electro pioneers Tangerine Dream had a dozen top 20 albums on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s, and scored some of Hollywood’s biggest 1980s movies. Side 1 of this clear vinyl 12’’ EP features 2 tracks from best-selling game Grand Theft Auto V, which took just three days to hit one billion dollars in retail sales. This instalment featured the first original score in the GTA series, composed by Tangerine Dream amongst other notable names. Happy Ending is a new piece using fragments and ideas of No Happy Endings from the original score. Los Santos City Map is a previously unreleased 2026 re-recording of the infamous music for the game’s pause and navigation screens. The B-side features a new 2026 recording of Love On A Real Train, Tangerine Dream’s best-known track, from 1983 box office smash Risky Business starring Tom Cruise. Mastered at Abbey Road by legendary cutting ace Miles Showell and pressed at Optimal in Germany, the EP is presented in a stylish sleeve by Invisible Hands Music.

Forged from the fire of internal struggles, Loraine was wrestling with confidence and a desire for change when she embarked on this album. A guiding hand came through producing 2025's 'Clandestine EP' with singer Anysia Kym, which gave her the experience of a more 'pop' setting and the tools and insight to work her instrumentals into more conventional shapes.

Vittorio De Scalzi & Gianni Mazza’s Background / Musiche di Atmosfera is a mid-70s style studio concept built as a palette of isolated timbral moods rather than traditional songs. The record explores the expressive potential of single instruments, studio effects, and minimal gestures, moving between ambient sound design, improvisation, and experimental textures. Intended as functional yet evocative library music, it provides a wide spectrum of atmospheres — from intimate and introspective to abstract and dramatic — ideal for underscore and sonic backdrops.

Sandrayati Fay embarks on a musical journey that intertwines the ethereal with the deeply personal. Born to activist parents and raised in the lush landscapes of Indonesia, she now calls Reykjavík home. Her unique sound—described often as a blend of ethereal folk, indie-pop, and ambient textures—celebrates themes of identity, migration, and indigenous rights, intricately woven into her lyrics. One could say her upbringing was steeped in a sense of purpose; a certain weight of expectation, perhaps, but she has transformed it into art.

8 years after their last LP Kites, Submotion Orchestra return with their long awaited sixth studio album, the remarkable Passed Me By. A deeply personal journey into memory, creativity, and the passing of time, it shows the band continuing to push their signature electronic sound forward, and the result is some of the boldest and most emotional territory of their storied career.

Passages in Time, the third album from Kasper Bjørke Quartet, traces the contours of a blend of spiritual jazz reverence and the calming grandeur of ’80s ambient. Inspired by Christopher Nolan’s observation that “time is the most fundamental part of our human experience,” the compositions are approached as fragments of time and memory. Meditations on the elusive nature of time form the heart of the work, merging freeform jazz improvisations with cyclical synthesizer patterns that mirror its quiet undulations.

Time spent in hospital rooms. The weight still unfolding. The uncertain future. More questions than answers. Pieces of my heart, heard through the sounds of HH. For my wife. Shaped by what we are moving through together. An attempt to meet pain with love. Keep going. Try to rest. When can we. Holding each moment close, celebrating it as if it were both our first and our last. Knowing that love, in its truest form, is never measured by grandeur but by the depth of what is shared between two souls. For my Jules. Time never stops. My love can't either.

Wasteman' is the BAFTA nominated debut feature film by Cal McMau, an acclaimed prison drama set in the crumbling British justice system, with an original score by Forest Swords (aka producer, composer and sound artist Matthew Barnes).

Through her work across five Vastum albums, Leila Abdul-Rauf has been a sonorous contributor to 20 Buck Spin’s discography for more than 15 years now.
