And Winter Came… is the seventh studio album by Irish singer, songwriter, and musician Enya, released on 10 November 2008 by Warner Bros. Records. After recording new Christmas songs for her fourth EP Sounds of the Season with Enya (2006), Enya started work on a Christmas album of traditional carols and original tracks, but the idea was changed to a collection of songs with a Christmas or winter theme as it better suited the style of the new material. It was recorded with her longtime collaborators, arranger and producer Nicky Ryan and his wife, lyricist Roma Ryan. The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics and became a worldwide success, reaching the top-10 in 21 countries in its first three weeks, including No. 8 on the US Billboard 200 and No. 6 on the UK Albums Chart. The album has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.

Martin Kennedy: "'The Aether' was recorded alongside 'Eternal' and was originally going to be the second record in an epic double vinyl edition of that album. The idea crashed to earth when Pledgemusic went bust and I had to pair back my dreams of a multi-vinyl concept album. So while The Aether now lives on as a separate release it remains musically very much a part of Eternal."

Released at the same time as Dayton/Cutie Pie, this two-for-one release from the U.K.-based Expansion label combines the third and fourth albums from Dayton: Hot Fun (Liberty, 1982) and Feel the Music (Capitol, 1983). Perhaps due in part to switching between labels that weren't among the best outlets for R&B, the group never gained much commercial traction, but they recorded a considerable amount of excellent sophisticated funk. Much of it can be heard here, including the standouts "We Can't Miss," "Meet the Man," "Out Tonight," and "The Sound of Music" - the last of which stands up to anything driven by Leon Sylvers III (Shalamar, the Whispers, Dynasty) or Jacques Fred Petrus (Change, High Fashion, the B.B. & Q. Band).

"Lifelines" is the 7th album by the Norwegian band A-ha, released in 2002. The album was a Top 10 success in nine countries, and reached #1 in four of those, selling over 1.5 million copies worldwide. In 2019, "Lifelines" and "Minor Earth Major Sky" were remastered and re-released with an extra disc, which contained demos, early versions and alternate mixes.

Craig Padilla, the acclaimed electronic music veteran, is back and better than ever with Below The Mountain, a deep-space analog synth sequencer work. Inspired by the landscape and surroundings of Mt. Shasta near his home in Northern California, Padilla masterfully guides the listener through sweeping sonic vistas of electronic soundscapes, and across a boundless rolling terrain of pulsing sequencer motifs. Below the Mountain is a textural electronic evolutionary sound journey that delivers a contemplative, ambient, deep listening music experience in the tradition of Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, and early Klaus Schulze.

"Somewhere" is the new album by the Russian-based electronic artist Andrey Korotkov (Melodic Mode).

You might see it in the stars or the root of a tree. It can be the flickering fluorescent light in the corner of a room or dew settling on a leaf in the early morning hours. It is overwhelming, yet barely there. Terminalia Amazonia, the new, subdued and momentous instalment of Zu, is the sound of a long, slow journey in pursuit of a moment. For the past four years the band’s members have regularly visited an undisclosed indigenous village on the Ucayali River close to the border between Peru and Brazil. They’ve immersed themselves in the local Shipibo-Conibo culture’s ancient knowledge, teachings and rituals, some of which stretch back millennia.

Silencia is the latest collection of evocative and lustrous compositions by the Nashville duo Hammock. The band’s 10th LP, Silencia closes a trilogy that began with 2017’s Mysterium, and—in the tradition of works by Arvo Pärt and Georgy Sviridov, and writers such as Li-Young Li and Maggie Ross—it is a balm, gesturing at the healing that can ascend in silence. Slow-churning and contemplative, Silencia most prominently features strings orchestrated by Viktor Orri Árnason (Nils Frahm, Ólafur Arnalds), mists of guitar by Hammock’s Marc Byrd and Andrew Thompson, the hushed drone of horns, and 20 elegiac voices from the Budapest Art Choir. The record was mixed and mastered by Francesco Donadello (Winged Victory for the Sullen, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Ben Frost) in Berlin. Founded in 2003, Hammock’s music has appeared widely in film and television, and it has been praised by The Wire, NPR, Pitchfork, The Atlantic, and other major culture media.

Just when his listeners think they have him pegged, Klaus Schulze surprises them. On En=Trance, he follows his usual pattern for a while, then goes in a totally new direction. This album has Berlin school sequences and overt rhythms, but the sequences are extended and the rhythms do not dominate. Schulze uses deep atmospheres, symphonic synths, and experimental sci-fi sounds to create these trance-inducing soundscapes. The drawn-out sequences have atmospheric textures and the symphonic synths are smooth and direct. This is one of Schulze's stronger efforts.

The Art Of Zen Relaxation Volume 2 is a compilation CD released in 2000. It was released by Creative Vibes in association with Ninja Tune.

"aNYway" is a 2009 single by Armond Van Helden & A-Trak, who call themselves Duck Sauce but on this item, it is credited to Armand Van Helden & A-Trak present Duck Sauce, I mean does not that make you guffaW? This was released by Germany by Ministry Of Sound Recordings.

Alva Noto & Ryuichi Sakamoto share recordings of their show at Sydney Opera House in 2018, yielding 80 minutes of sublime, glassy electronics; minimal but full of that light-handed emotive brilliance Sakamoto seems to always supply so generously, and with such little effort. Gorgeous, moving music.

Program Music I is the 2007 disc by Japanese artist Kashiwa Daisuke. This was released on the Noble label.
