. .. Notes .. .
First things first: the god of pads has
returned. After a 6 years hiatus, ULF
LOHMANN reports back to POP AMBIENT. As one
of the first to break the mould, LOHMANN has
shaped Kompakt’s early ambient sound in a
decisive manner. Fortunately, his two tear-
jerking masterpieces PCC and SICHT sound
like he was never gone. We’re also
celebrating some sort of reunion with THE
BIONAUT. It’s the alter ego JOERG BURGER
used back in the early 90′s, creating
unforgettable hits such as “Everybody’s
Kissing Everyone” or the album “Lush Life
Electronica”, released via EMI’s infamous
sub-label Harvest. With the use of real
guitars and vocals, the new TRIOLA MIX of
the 1992 classic AQUAMARINE gives you a
promising foretaste of the upcoming TRIOLA
album expected in Spring and a BEST OF
BIONAUT compilation on Kompakt Klassiks.
Complex and surprisingly varied, the 14th
instalment in the long-running POP AMBIENT
series continues with THOMAS FEHLMANN, whose
contribution TREATMENT confidently combines
the art of free-form vocabulary with well-
chosen, economically set piano accents,
followed by SIMON SCOTT and MIKKEL METAL who
indulge in a sensitive, reduced loop
aesthetic complete with echoes of sing-along
melodies. An indispensable POP AMBIENT
regular for a few years now, MARSEN JULES
endows this latest edition with THE
PHILOSOPHERS TRAP – reminiscent of
architecture, it’s a bizarre soundscape of
sublime elegance. COLOGNE TAPE is actually a
Kraut electronics allstar live project that
has been dreamed up for the modern era.
Their cut MOORPARK is a picturesque gem of
musical mushroom hunting in the enchanted
forest of illusions. Last but not least,
WOLFGANG VOIGT makes a welcome entry. With
RUECKVERZAUBERUNG 8, he continues his
eponymous project series in a reassured
manner, with worryingly shimmering pads
providing a necessary air of seriousness
lurking at the fringes of beauty’s darker
side. No less compelling is his remix of
CUPID’S HEAD, the title track of the latest
full-length offering from THE FIELD. Going
by his project name GAS for the first time
since 2008, VOIGT once again showcases his
unique, boundary-bending style between the
abstract and the concrete, harmony and
atonality, art and pop. The caring fusion of
music from diverse artists and styles into
an atmospherically dense Gesamtkunstwerk
makes the POP AMBIENT compilation an
unparalleled – and timeless – listening
experience.
