Paranoia Department - Apparitions FLAC

An astounding release, encompassing all the genres listed above in such a seamless way that listening to this massive 2-part work takes the listener on a journey through dark, foreign spaces. I won't try to dissect the release other than to say that the first part has the most techno-oriented material, focusing largely on dub techno (but avoiding all the obvious cliches of the genre), while Part II becomes more worldly, emphasizing tribal rhythms and sampled ethnic vocals alongside the programmed beats. Breaking the album down track by track would make for an enormous and unwieldy review/comment, so instead I'll simply say that if you're a fan of any of the listed genres (especially experimental, ambient, and dub techno), or artists like Demdike Stare, this album is an absolute must. Plus it's free :)
