Light Caught The Edges
by From the Mouth of the Sun
supported by 59 fans who also own “a crossing song”
One of the most stunning albums I've ever heard. Beautiful and meditative. The album is aptly titled, as the music brings forth images of light filtered through fall leaves and reflecting from forest streams. If there was ever a soundtrack for contemplative "shinrin-yoku", this is it. Highest recommendation.

Cóiste Bodhar
by The Phonometrician
supported by 56 fans who also own “a crossing song”
I'm guessing The Phonometrician's new instrumental, ritualistic folk-noir contemplation on death for Lost Tribe Sound; with it's anxiety inducing cover, will be one of the least clicked on blog posts of the year, but I dare you press play as it's an intense, hypnotic, achingly beautiful & ultimately liberating look at our final journey.

WRF creates sounds like not many out there, and each release holds it's own fingerprint, but this one is particularly special in it's more still and minimal nature. Some of this reminds me of Johann Johannsson's finest soundtracks (in particular Movement II) but all of it is pure beauty, and light with interspersed shadows to keep it interesting and multilayered just as the clouds drift overhead and block out the sun for a moment, the rays will beam down again as soon as the shadow passes.
