Ambientblog does not generally cover the bigger names in ambient music.
In my opinion, both Loscil and Murcof belong to the more well-known artists of the genre – and most of you will probably already be familiar with their new releases.
But even so, I couldn’t bring myself to skip these releases. Simply because they belong to the best you will probably hear this year.
So here’s an exception to the ‘rule’.
