This is totally an unknown gem in the ambient genre. I'm familiar with most of his (Alio Die) work, but this is just awesome. Total, lush, organic soundworlds with some live instruments, just droning away, harmoniously. Not dark, not light, just being there. Two massive tracks, there's not really any distinctive elements. Birds, water flowing, very relaxing.

Perfect for background droning, easily for fans of Robert Rich, FSOL, Lustmord. Asmorods' "Hysope" might reach some same levels, but I prefer this any day.

Perfect.
