Profile

I'm of those rare Russian folks, who prefer buying great music in original (only originals listed in my collection). However, I usually listen to mp3 at first.

Track 3-3 "United Equilizer" samples "Ultramarine" from Michael Brook's "Cobalt Blue" album.

Mostly top-notch electronica, pretty much unlike everything else you've listened to. Don't be misled by cheap CD prices, as well as obscurity surrounding these releases. This is the case of an excellent label, which has got overlooked. If you are a... See full review

Not aware yet of his other works, but this one sounds solid and uplifting. Excellent rhythm and textures production +++

P.S. The original track order is a mess. For better consistency try the following track order: 1, 5, 9, 7, 10, 4, 2, 8, 3, 6.

Absolutely perfect downtempo music for relaxation after a hard working day. No unnecessary sounds, just pure harmony with atmospheric evening mood.

Steve Miller and James Bright, a duo of two talented electronic producers, released a seriously good chill-out album. "Northern Lights" comprises eleven well-crafted tracks that easily fit for putting a listener's mind at ease while remaining active... See full review

My apologies. The similarity seemed too close to me. Thank you for your beautiful music.

Is this already the second remastering or is it just a 2004 Japanese remastered version (BFLWCD72) has been re-issued?

Track "Holdings Of Electronic Lifts" is a blurred version of track "Lotus" from Masters Of Psychedelic Ambiance - MU = ム (credits to Atom Heart & Tetsu Inoue).

Fresh Moods' output is only known as some downtempo stuff released by Elektrolux, but it deserves more attention because it has a hidden personal feeling dressed in high-quality synthetic sound textures. Of his four albums Swerve is the finest example... See full review

It is kind of pointless to express your opinion on an album that you don't get into. For example, I don't understand the hype over Bvdub's albums that you wrote you like, but this hype doesn't make me want to write long reviews about how I don't get... See full review

I had mixed feelings after listening to this single. On the one hand there is GOL's original sound production, but on the other hand - and that is sad - the music here just doesn't sound mysterious. The two versions of Soma Holiday are of experimental... See full review

Norman Feller - Frameless Structure
posted a review of Norman Feller - Frameless Structure. over 12 years ago
Downtempo grooves, layered pads with melodies, vocal fillers and small auxiliary samples. This is all what Frameless Structure is about. What makes this album brilliant is the sound treatment. Every track here is (framelessly) structured like a clock... See full review

Aloof Proof's "Piano Text" is an album that requires certain attitude in order to get a full effect from listening to it. This attitude, as I see it, is to compare listening to this album to reading a serious romantic novel. Before knowing this, I... See full review

Mandalay is one of the finest trip-hop bands ever existed, though they defined their genre as "ambient pop". Their music continues to speak to listeners' hearts with its sheer beauty. It's amazing how Saul Freeman managed to put each unique sample... See full review

"Wave Mantra" could become a most sought-after CD in the catalogue of such labels as Hypnos or Hearts of Space, but Sean Washburn modestly released it on his own. Steve Roach and Robert Rich could only dream about composing the deepest and most... See full review

After having listened to pretty much of deep electronic music I thought that little could amaze me at that moment. But when I stumbled upon "Sensations of Tone" I was simply put in awe. The music on this album is powerful and calm, rich and minimal,... See full review

In my opinion, The Super Secret Symphony stands out from ordinary minimal / experimental releases. Here everything is special: the samples, their sounding and appearing in time. These two 30-minute works do not invite listener to another ambient... See full review

"Etherlands" is more polished in sound than previous Spyra's albums and thus makes an ear-pleasing listen. The music is basically old-school melodic spacey ambient with fresh nuances, live-sounding beats (sometimes being innovative) and speech... See full review
