I listen to a fair amount of ambient, drone, and New Age music. I’m familiar with this artist and the cover for this record is recognizable. I remember it. I like a couple later releases better: Slow Time and Glaciation. I think this is common because ambient music has become so abstract that these guys feel liberated from traditional melodic structures.
Still I really like this record. The melodies don’t reach out to me like William Ackerman’s for example and sometimes they’re kind of distracting. Nonetheless it’s a good record. Great production. Relaxing and pretty. I like it.
