Notes
First heard on the "Fear Of A Silver Planet" mix CD by James Holden, when he laid his ambient track "Kaern" on top of Ben Pound's track "Turned". It generated such a positive response that it was properly engineered in a studio setting and released as a "Kaern Turned". Some copies come with an outer sleeve that has an airbrushed Easy Access logo.

Reviews & Discussion
This tune is amazing. It really is top notch stuff from pixie James Holden. 'Kaern Turned' starts off nicely, with nice dreamy pads and then it kicks in really nicely. It gets better when the bass comes in, and then it turns into a techno rumbler. It just builds and builds and the percussion is top. A wicked tune from Holden which shows how talented this guy is.
A1 Kaern Turned:
The ambient track James made was put over Ben Pound’s song, and used on James his ‘Fear Of A Silver Planet’ mix album, and it got a huge response.
Dreamy, fluffy noises mark the beginning of this song. Shortly after that, the beat starts and it just drags you away from whatever you are doing at that moment.
Having a repetitive beat over the actual beat just makes this track more appealing to the ears.
This is definitely something that has more quality than all the other stuff being released every second.
Quality throughout this whole track.
The other side:
Just the actual fluffy, dreamy melody, without a beat. This ambient track could be used by any inventive dj, putting it over a track, or just used in a chillout set.
Conclusion: James didn’t fail to deliver quality, Kaern Turned should be in everyone’s record box/bag.
