		<description><![CDATA[Long before I was fortunate enough to release The Last Season through Earth Mantra, this excellent netlabel was one that I followed closely as a source of consistently inspiring ambient music.

		<description><![CDATA[I got turned on to the label Beep Beep Back Up the Truck back when they released &#8220;Reverence for Fallen Trees,&#8221; by The Black Atlantic. Having not browsed their collection for some time, I checked them out again last week and was very pleased to discover the release,  &#8220;How It&#8217;s Done In Italy,&#8221; by Danish [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bow Echoes &#8211; Damian Valles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Bow Echoes is a sublime collection of droning guitar and ambient minimalism from Canadian musician Damian Valles. Released through the excellent Resting Bell netlabel back in March, I was made aware of it yesterday when the track Ground Truth played on StillStream. The guitar textures really made the piece stand out, prompting me to immediately [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hermelin</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hermelin&#8217;s self-titled, full length debut on 12rec is about two years old now. For some time it had fallen out of rotation on my playlists. But as I was streaming random selections the other day, I Felt Xetrov kicked in and sent me back to this gem of a release. In fact, you won&#8217;t find [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dead Line &#8211; Stockfinster</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another one that came my way courtesy of the good folks over at Phlow. I&#8217;ve been on this kick lately of searching for releases and artists that use a lot of ambient textures but who can keep the music going with a pop drive, and Dead Line by Stockfinster completely fits the bill. If [...]]]></description>

		<title>Best of Juanitos &#8211; Jamendo</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was holding out for a dark ambient release, or even a light ambient one, to feature in my first review.
