I doubt I will add anything to the descriptions already provided, but I cannot let this release be here without my recommendation. This CD is a drug. No, really, it is. How else can such euphoric emotions come about by a mere ambient work? Personally, I hate ambient music. If it weren't for the subtle kick-drum beat during most of this album I probably would have turned away... at any rate, the droning beat, the ominous dark pads, the deep atmospheres all create a haunting, isolated environment that is addictive and demented. At a close second place are the Oktember and Königsforst releases. But Zauberberg is one of the most important minimal releases on Discogs.
Rated 5/5

Yes, one of the best releases on MP. It's something undescrible how this music can affect you - first track is nothing but ambient sound layers, which puts you in the state of blissfulness and makes you don't want to go back. All other tracks have pumping beat - just like the second one, my favorite. No words can describe the pure beauty of this sound imagination. Beauty which hides under the layers of distortions and roughnesses, but can be uncover by attentive listener.

Although minimal this album bursts of emotion mainly due to subdued orchestral strings that emerge constantly during your march. I say march because Zauberberg is not a meandering ambient release, but feels pretty directional and uses foggy beats to keep things evergoing. Truly delightful album.
