Thanks for getting this thread started. Tagging @Spiderland77 who started the original Ambient VMP thread so he knows where the discussion lives after the move.
I love KBD! I can't wait for the vinyl version it's been delayed a bit so far.
What are some other ambient albums that everyone really liked this year? I've only heard a handful from established artists that I already like, but as far as new albums go I've been out of the loop.
I've really enjoyed Celer - Xièxie, The latest Caretaker is better than volumes 4 and 5, the new KBD, the latest Tim Hecker, but that's about it.
Also Celer recently opened back up their back catalog to include more older releases for Pay What You Want

What is lowercase? I've never heard of that as a genre/descriptor before.

Anyone get the Kankyo Ongaku Light in the Attic release?
Would like to hear some opinions on the pressing and music.
I personally love it, I got the Regular edition and haven't noticed any flaws in terms of the pressing, no cracks no pops. I put it on at least twice a week after a long day to kind of unwind to and mediate with. Music is very diverse, hints of jazz and folk litter the selections, beautiful synths on other tracks, Even a tree can shed a tear is my favorite in that compilation series but this Kankyo is not far behind at all

Live improvised recording of Separate Boys (Kjartan Holm, Sindri Már Sigfússon [Sin Fang], Francesco Fabris and Paul Corley).
These are pretty sollid. Think Celer & Bvdub are my favourite ambient releases so farWhat are some other ambient albums that everyone really liked this year? I've only heard a handful from established artists that I already like, but as far as new albums go I've been out of the loop.

I totally forgot about the new Fennesz! Also I haven't been big on any of the latest William Basinski albums but was meaning to listen to that one as well.

Thought it was great start to finish & sounds absolutely perfect.
That’s crazy. I thought I was fairly versed in ambient but I had no idea there was this sub genre. This is literally the first time I’ve heard of it.Lowercase is like super ambient where really really quiet sounds are amplified and made hearable. There generally isn't much rhythm to it.
This is the general go-to point for lowercase by the dude who coined it, and it's basically him handling paper for 53 minutes:
I also have a flowchart, weirdly enough. It includes Lowercase music, Electro-acoustic Improvisations (EAI), and Onkoyo. Explains all three in the bottom right corner:

To be honest I don't know who I can say it compares with as I'm still learning a lot about the genre.
I did buy vinyl and it is gorgeous
