Overrated classic in my opinion. Sound engineering is flat, atmosphere lacks depth, tracks are disappointment after another.

Jon Hopkins paints enchanting sonic artwork with palette of sounds varying from mechanically synthetic waveforms to earthly organic timbres.

Hopkins breeds classical style with electronic beats to produce something special. He just doesn't stack the... See full review

I would recommend Dousk - D.I.Y. It's pretty similar and absolute banger. Nice combination of breaks and 4/4, with both ambiance and dance floor authority
Maybe some Legowelt too, try his album The Paranormal Soul

Melodic dub techno done right. Not a single dull moment in this album, all tracks are unique and outstanding, and progress very smoothly from one to another. This has to be my favorite melodic dub techno album since Yagya's Rigning

I liked the first one better. It has more filthy underground vibe and in your face attitude. This production is more polished but misses the charm of first album. Still one of the best in it's genre anyway

This is all about the looping orchestral samples. Raw, mundane, organic ambiance without gimmicks but a lot of depth. The beat is minimal, melody is non-existent. This is not a music to listen to. This is music let oneself dissolve into. Merging into... See full review

I like this style of techno. Dark, ominous and death simple, yet ultimately immersing. Harsh POW POW POW without gimmicks, just the tribal rhythms, anemic hi hats and right amount of cold ambiance for immersive experience. I am new to the techno, and... See full review

Best ambient I have heard for a while. It's a deepdive into dark, cold soundscapes with hidden spots of comfort. Dissociative stuff

High quality production. This album delivers warm, instrumental melodies and airy textures backed by fat, GROOVY bass. Hits hard, but isn't aggressive by any means. Colorful but not oversaturated, juicy but not cheesy. Perfect balance of playfulness,... See full review

Dark, cold vintage sounds and ruthless, deep bass is what makes this album appealing. Original simplicity. Whereas ambient techno albums later of that decade serves warm, organic sounds, Microgravity is cold, ominous even. It's as much about hypnotic... See full review

Atmospheric, genuine electro without gimmicks. Warm analogue synths, groovy beats, minimal addicting melodies and no bullshit. Original, fun and relaxing journey from start to finish.

Primitive and repetitious patterns without anything one would consider trendy. Not really music, but a wall of sound, impressions of ancient nature, choice of modern shaman. One either hates or loves this kind of stuff, it depends of the objective. If... See full review

Smooth as silk. Beautiful soundscapes and catchy beats. Not many albums of this genre manage to get me lost for 79 minutes as this one, as I find house music generally monotone. Half way through I was astonished how the album gets better and better... See full review

Just found out about The Sushi Club after going through a lot of dull or cliche downtempo albums in discogs recommendations. The typical problem with this genre is the lack of originality or going too experimental.

This is not the case with Sakura by... See full review
