Comment: there is a big difference between IDM and IDM, ambient and ambient, respectively. Some of the musical projects are deliberately tweaked in the vein of these styles, some of them are accidentally related to them. Stephen Walter`s album is obviously the last case, which is a huge experimentation act ultimately. At times it veers out toward the examples of large-scale ambient, at times reflects upon a sort of beat-induced ethereal sound shimmered right and left. Some explorations are posed on tuning a radio, sine waves and concrete sounds. At times it is drenched in piano music in a weird way. In a nutshell, the 8-track album is a classic one which will celebrate the 5th year anniversary in January.
