Copendium Vols 1 and 3: some nice rediscoveries (Orthodox - Geryone's Throne) and stuff I'd not previously heard (Haare - The Temple)
Bong - Mana Yood Sushai
Bong - Beyond Ancient Space
August Born - s/t: Collaboration between Ben Chasny and a Japanese musician whose name I forget. Perfectly fine LP but better to explore the Drag City Six Organs releases. This seems to be recorded around Dark Noontide period and has that kind of feel.
Gala Drop with Ben Chasny - Broda
Michio Kurihara - Sunset Notes: Got this after reading an interview with him stating how he was interesting in creating feelings evoked by sunset and nostalgia of fond childhood memories etc. A lovely LP if a little twee in places. But some fine moments.
Om - Variations on a Theme
Om - Pilgrimage: Rediscovering Om after reading Cope's review. I liked these but thought I didn't need more than Variations... but really enjoyed Pilgrimage and have ordered the new one.
Circle - Forest
Gnod - 5th Sun
Motion Sickness of Time Travel - s/t
And some Copendium inspired listens:
Randy Holden - Population II
Billy Miller/Cold Sun - Dark Shadows
Comets on Fire - Field Recordings from the Sun
