This is less ambient music but space music, indeed. Very driving yet sober and clean like a deep space/sea trip. The filter work is fantastic and comes to real life on a good speaker system (I own a pair of Tannoy 638 guided by a straight-ahead NAD amp). I have no idea whether the guys used analogue machines but this sounds fresh as a new production and is so comfortably wise in a synchronous way. Very good album.
