"They kick things off with the shimmering, lower frequency quivering, field recording hinting, gently cascading tones of the well named, "404 Error Page Not Found" - something I'm sure we can all relate to"

Back at work today, but you still need music! Use a few minutes of the boss's time to read and listen to this week's Other People's Music selection. A pair of experimental rock acts open & close the post, with a pair of folk acts & some minimal ambient in between.

My remix of The American Dollar’s “Rudiments of a Spiritual Life” is now featured on the Ambient Musical Genre channel on YouTube. Very grateful for that!
Old review.
DOGON - The Sirius Expeditions
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/07/dogon-sirius-expeditions.html
This is an album I somehow often associate with going to music festivals in northern British Columbia way back when. And now I'm going to another one this morning. Time is a flat circle! ...or something.
Wrote up a quick review of Hammock’s latest release, “Nevertheless”, which really pays a masterful tribute to both their more recent, guitar-driven work and their older, more orchestral-based albums. #music #ambient https://soundsadvice.medium.com/new-release-of-the-month-hammock-nevertheless-ebb3a4e26d13
NEW REVIEW!
Various - MO_AMBIENT

How much mo' ambient can you handle? In the midnight hour, mo', mo', mo'!
"The new album sees these studio neighbours embarking on another
ethereal voyage of discovery to the land where ambient, new age,
minimalism and classical meet"

Children of Osiris - Mandragoritis
"Mandragoritis by Children of Osiris is a hypnotic fusion of ambient, IDM, and industrial soundscapes that channels esoteric themes into a rhythmically driven, ritual-like listening experience."
"Languid percussion provides an unhurried tempo for this ambient voyage of exploration as toad licked guitar refrains guide these cosmic musketeers to higher plains."

A brand new Other People's Music is here! This week's selections form an interesting musical palindrome as our reviews cover weird rock, folk, weird guitar ambient, folk, weird rock (in that order). Fun! Enjoy.

ANDREW HEATH - The Silent Cartographer
https://emcritic.blogspot.com/2015/07/andrew-heath-silent-cartographer.html
And now (then) I started dabbling in 'lowercase' ambient music. Not that I realized it at the time, this kinda' being my proper introduction to it.
