Nils Quak - On Sinking (2011)



/Ambient, Ambient noise, Shoegazetronica, Minimal, Experimental electronica, Dark ambient, Soundscapes/

Comment
: Nils Quak is a musician from Cologne, Germany. By coming from the home city of the CAN, indeed it is such a fact which definitely does make difference. Yet, inspite of positive bias the 34-year-old Teuton`s soundscape makes vastly out on its own. In fact, at times it can even be compared to the sound of the legendary krautrockers, for instance, at Forever Fading throughout which one can perceive for some similar ambient-based vibrations and epic washes with Animal Waves (on Saw Delight, 1977). On the other side, it can be compared to Slowdive, Bowery Electric, and Bing Satellites as well. The kick-off track Please Let Me Rest is set into an "unstable" environment and thereby illuminated with borealic white heat. The second track A Rusting Down continues principially the same array of sounds, yet having acquired some minimal changes through a little more murky tonality in addition to fingerpicked guitars in the background. There Will Be No Harm is a contemplative vision brought forth via barely ringing glitch-like clinks and tremendously minimized flux of sonic particles. Altogether, a solid workout in the realm of experimental ambient music.

Radere - Maple Drip (2010)



9.7

/Ambient, Organic electronica, Sound-art, Musique concrete, Post-rock, Soundscape, Minimal/

Comment
: Philly-based writer and sound artist Carl Ritger`s sophomore album consists only of 1 track (23 minutes long, though) , which is a solid wash of ambient sounds, organic soundscapes, synthetic swirls and exhilarating post-rock-ish vibrations. A kind of post-music indeed, which is filled in with lots of dreams and imaginations. By the way, the release is mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri aka Sight Below.
