Rich glitchy IDM. Great work with stereo. This must sound mind-blowing in a live performance setting. Minimal, yet rich in texture. Wow!

After having heard Tales of Mystery and Schlachtfest, this one takes you by surprise. Don’t expect any of the regular Sascha Müller-material on this release. Instead, it’s very experimental, very ambient. Even though it has it’s moment, I feel Sascha should stick to what he does best: Hard banging tracks.

Nice experimental electronica, ranging from quite ambient to really IDM-ish. Lots of blips and bleeps, so lovers of those will be happy. Enough atmosphere to capture you into the music. Reflections sounds very Orb-ish, to give a comparison. But that’s only a single comparison, the range of styles is too big to just go with […]

A pretty OK compilation of ambient of the more experimental kind. Enough variation to be interesting, but consistent enough to offer a solid feeling of a good compilation. Interests me enough to download some of the individual artist’s albums.

Ambient soundscapes can be very boring when done wrong, especially because they drone on and on. Ocp knows this, realizes this, and so releases this album full of beautiful, accessible and not-too-long soundscapes. This is how it should be done. Ocp is also not too shy to use rhythmic elements (atmos two!) which enrich the […]

Their physical album Plays The Music was pretty OK. Now they bring this Christmas album. In their typical way of doing things differently, this electro experiment with a well-known melodies is a funny exercise. But even though as far as I can recognize only the first track is a real Christmas song, I prefer Plays […]

Most of this is not my thing, but it may appeal to people who like things less polished. There’s too much chaos and “rough” material for my liking. Some interesting things in between.

Daniel Maze knows how to create very interesting music. That is my conclusion after listening to Avatar a few times. It’s not your convention ambient, but dubbing it experimental is also not the best description. It’s somewhere in between. Still quite accessible and very, very interesting, he combines a laidback feeling with a healthy dose […]
