Hi NorthStar,
Well, I am a sucker for nicely-designed album artwork, and these do have nice covers, but it's just the minimal/noise/ambient/experimental kick that I've been on lately, and that I've been discovering so much of it I really like. An "acquired taste" for sure, but one I've only grown more interested in since hearing Brian Eno's Apollo thirty years ago.
Be well!

I also like nice art design/photograph album covers. And yours are always of my taste. And the music itself inside those covers (Avant-Garde, Electronic, Experimental, New Age, Progressive, Synthesizers, Mechanical/Machine/Circuits/Robotic/Dreamscape, Improvisation, Exploration, Meditative, Transcendental, etc.) is ... magnifying, electroshocking, future-proofing, serum curating, scoping.
But yours is new to me, and that I like. You bring more to my intellectual\artistic progression and development than a discussion on a new scientific DAC from space. :b Ambiance, music for airports, Brian Eno; yes it's all smooth music, and everything that is smooth bring peace in my life, all around my aura. I remember the years I was listening to Brian Eno, to Tangerine Dream, to Philip Glass, ...and I still occasionally.
The artwork of the albums you share with us remind me of the ECM record label with their similar artwork. Only the music is a little different here, less traditional directions if I may say. I can get used to it because it flows smoothly. I am also very honest in saying that it is less organic than say an acoustic musical instrument. And that lack of organic, natural sound created by the hand and mouth is compensated by its elasticity, electrostatic charge, the mind of its composer/explorer.
Music is part of our natural evolution; it has stages, comfort zones, communions with our entourage and other people living in it. It is also our solitude, our moments of reflective meditation, our advancement in our own sanity.
Yes, the albums you posted recently is avant-gardiste/electronic music in general; the smooth kind...the album covers proves that. I sure was intrigued, and my first impression even before sampling it, was from the ECM Series record label. And after sampling it it wasn't. It's different; more fabricated, more mechanical, more electronic, more statistically charged, and also meditative, mind exploration, earth and space, travelling the subconscious and conscious. Yes it is comparable to Brian Eno's stuff and state-of-space. It's abstract ambient music.
Lol, this morning I came here especially to edit one post. Instead I found evolution in the right direction from your reply. It's all worthwhile.
Wellness,

Hmmm. Failed to anticipate that. It's a screen shot from Tidal so in that sense it's a no-op.
I was being humorous. But instinctively when I see a play logo (?) I press on it. :b
Yes I knew it was a Tidal screenshot.

(wink...good humor)
