| #8 / Wed, 10 Dec 08 23:08 (Edited: 10 Dec 08 23:15) i was worried, but count me as excited for the next entry. the mint track entices, as does the burger/voigt mix of the paape track (title reminiscent of 'wand aus klang'?). can't get enough andrew thomas. and of course, with a title like that, the last track is bound to be great.
lack of markus guentner disturbing, though.
EDIT: truth, this is the first pop ambient without guentner. i wonder what's going on chez kompakt?

| #10 / Fri, 12 Dec 08 11:35 awesome. was likewise getting worried that they had discontinued the series, 'pop ambient' is as much a part of the winter as mince pies and hibernating.

 | RA Review The joy of techno is in its immediacy, its concentration of pop music's most visceral moments onto great galloping grids. Ambient music functions similarly, trading ecstatic action for ecstatic stasis, but it's equally direct and uncompromising. Successful ambient music is also about dichotomies, of..

| Good music,
I dance.
No good music,
I go home. |

| #14 / Sat, 14 Feb 09 11:22 Great review Josh!!! And good album as well. Nice to see Kompakt with the courage to mix things up a bit, though Markus Guentner et al are always welcome back. I found the gloominess and the almost neo-classical feel of many of the tracks reminiscent of the Type label stuff too and surprisingly homogenous across the album.
