Perhaps one of the best kept secrets in the etno-ambient world. With "Tidvatten" Ulf Söderberg takes you on a hypnotic and highly spiritual journey to the deep forests of northern Sweden. The music is not very abstract and captures the listener from start to finish. The melodies are always well thought out, and always extremely beautiful in an mystic and ethereal way. If someone who haven't heard quality ambient before wants to hear some quality ambient, the I would probably let him/her listen to "Tidvatten", thanks to its direct, melodic style and the thanks to the length of the tracks and the album. "Tidvatten" is the perfect soundtrack for a night out in the nature.
Awesome breathtaking cd. Raison D'Être feeling, but with more and deeper tribal elements and patterns and changing rhythms. Nice balance between electronics and real instruments. This s beyond Sephiroth.
