Twile - Traum-A EP [2007]
This time something from a netlabel. Excellent "minimal ambient dub" from Finland. It slightly reminds me of Murcof. Contains only four tracks, but it's definitely a record, that can hypnotise you for hours. I'm definitely waiting for his next releases.
Anyway... for the best result, listen to it yourself. The whole thing is also available for a free listen on last.fm.
Enjoy!

Aix Em Klemm - Aix Em Klemm [2000]
A collaboration between Adam Wiltzie [of Stars Of The Lid] and Bobby Donne [of Labradford].
About the album, Kickbright fanzine wrote:
"The compositions shimmer and simmer, using instruments and sounds over a beatless soundscape, not knowing form or shape. They wander and develop then make way for other spaces. It's a sad, desolate sounding album. The last song has this quiet keyboard melody. It sounds so fragile and alone."

Octex - Variations [2005]
A quite different thing to what he's done on Idei Lahesna.
Quote from his official site:
Variations. The richness of life is based on Variations. Casts. Shades. In nature, no two leafs are exactly alike, no two snowflakes...
Through clever use of old and modern sound equipment combined with human imperfections, the same kind of Variation can be applied to music, where no two notes or beats sound exactly alike. This music breathes and pulsates the richness of Life.

Jacaszek & Miłka - Sequel [2005]
Quote from their official site:
Sequel is a song album, performed by poet Miłka Malzahn. This is a kind of "singing poetry", where poetic text exists together with modern electronic music. Our first album "MAPA" was called a "poetic trip-hop". SEQUEL could be named a "poetic electronic swing", but this of course is too simple description. SEQUEL is a music story of lost, broken or unfinished love, of feelings, images and dreams.

Jacaszek - Treny [2008]
This artist blends electronic music with classical instruments. Quoting his official website: "The "Treny" music are lamenting, slowly repeating electronic phrases, string harmonies and beautiful soprano voices. Silence and misery, laments and slow movement." I think it describes this album's atmosphere perfectly, so get your ears ready for the feast.
