Nice stripped down-tempo tracks. Great cover too. You can download sample tracks at Ad Noiseam and get the full album from Amazon. Here's the review:

From its opening salvo of disembodied dulcimer strings reverberating in the air, Aaron Spectre's latest offering appears to be in complete opposition to his Drumcorps personality. But don't let his downtempo side fool you - Lost Tracks is every bit as meticulously crafted as anything Spectre's done, chock full of dense ambient soundscapes, complex rhythm lines, the odd catchy hook, and other sonic treats for the eager explorer.

Gorgeous debut album by Electricwest. You can download it here (please support the artist). Available for purchase at Electronic Diversity, it's said to come with a bonus CD-R. Here's a review by David Tagg at Experimedia:

Electricwest graces EED and the rest of the world with his stunningly beautiful debut record, Together We Fade. Clean-cut production with just a little bit of textural grit, Together We Fade is a beautiful guided walk through lush liquid guitar work, warm basses and synths, hushed field recordings and organic drums that sound like wiry vines climbing around your stereo field

Blue Shift Emissions is a laid-back album in the same vein as Boards of Canada. "Stained Century" is a good listen (very curious synth sound in that one). The album's home page is here, and here's the creator's myspace page. Available from eMusic
or Amazon.

Many a stripped down beat here. Subfusc atmospheres — slightly depressing. Ramifications about audio addictions. Boomkat has sample tracks. The album is available on Amazon. Here's a review by Dummy Mag:

After a hiatus of many, many, year we saw the release of a new Fripp and Eno album called Equatorial Star. But now these two societal misfits have released a new album of miscellaneous material, and the compilation is modestly titled: "The Cotswold Gnomes: Unreleased Works of Startling Genius". You can find it on DGM Live. Here's a quote from that site:

Comparable to Eno’s recent Curiosities series this selection has been compiled by the man himself and gathers together a sequence of sketches, out-takes, work in progress and alternative mixes of which many are being made commercially available for the first time.

Standout tracks are: Cross Crisis In Lust Storm and Ringing Beat. MP3 excerpts can be found here.
