Cover art of Aril Brikha's 2007 album, Ex Machina

Iranian born Swedish producer Aril Brikha’s Ex Machina is filled with groovy beats, fat basslines, trippy strings and ambient soundscapes. Pleasant all-round and never jarring, this is a good album, which is especially enjoyable when you are just spacing out at home on a Friday evening. It’s a pity that, given the high standard of music, the album cover art is a little unremarkable.
