Tim "Maps and Diagrams" Diagram returns this week with another sinfully limited collection of slow, warm ambient subtlety. The 14 tracks on 'Alluvium' are split into three numbered sections, and accordingly have been released not only on a regular CD limited to 50, but also three 3" CDs in a smaller edition of just 40!
'Quartz' at the start of the third section is a highlight, looped static and vinyl crackle gradually becoming inhabited by gracefully plucked guitar, uplifting synth-harp arpeggios and Sun Araw/Dolphins Into The Future-ish post-dub bubblings. The whole album is just as lovely and therapeutic as you would expect from this safe pair of hands. Delightful stuff, perfect to help you kick back and forget about your troubles for a bit.
