Kompakt will release Pop Ambient 2012 in January.

The 11th edition of the celebrated compilation series continues to explore the beatless side of electronic music. Many of Kompakt's old guard appear on the album, including Superpitcher, who in his 12-year tenure on the Cologne label has never appeared on Pop Ambient. Kompakt co-founder Wolfgang Voigt appears twice, once as himself and once in Mohn, his new "ambient-grunge-downbeat project" with one of his usual partners in crime, Jörg Burger (Burger also contributes a track as Triola). bvdub, an American ambient artist based in China and latter-day Pop Ambient favorite, makes the cut for the third year in a row. Kompakt darling Axel Willner, AKA The Field, closes the release with "Riding the Bikes," a track from his alter-ego Loops Of Your Heart.

Tracklist
01. Mohn - Manifesto
02. Superpitcher - Jackson
03. Morek - Pan
04. Magazine - The Visitor's Bureau (Magazine Edit)
05. Triola - Richmodis
06. Wolfgang Voigt - Rückverzauberung 5
07. bvdub - Your Loyalty Lies Long Forgotten
08. Marsen Jules - Swans Reflecting Elephants
09. Simon Scott - For Martha
10. Loops Of Your Heart - Riding The Bikes

Kompakt will release Pop Ambien 2012 on January 31st, 2012.

Sun, 21 Oct 2012I love this series. Just got this on vinyl, as well as a number of the other editions. It comes with a CD also in the vinyl package, so you can have both formats for the price of vinyl...beautiful selection of ambient music.

Wed, 23 Nov 2011Looking forward to this one. Especially interested to hear the contributions from Loops of Your Heart and Superpitcher.

I always felt Pantha Du Prince would be a good fit on these compilations.

Mon, 21 Nov 2011Best one is 2005 ............ 2010 & 2011 were BIG dissapointments ...
Collecting easy money destroying good reputations, sound like the cafe del mar series.

Mon, 21 Nov 2011I am very much looking foward to the release of this compilation. I have always truly enjoyedKompakt's compilations whether it is total or Popambient and I hold BVdug's album 'I Remember (Translations Of Moerketid)' releaesed earlier on Glacial Movement as a real gem! I just hçpe this upcoming compilation will be somewhat more creative in terms of melodies and sound texture.
