Really up there with the 90s classics from Aphex, Autechre or Boards of Canada etc. Some tracks tend to use the same synth sound (sounding like some juicy Roland) but then you got stuff like that little flute synth on the A1 track that takes everything to new unexplored territories. check it out here Hiroshy Yoshimura - Green 1986 LP/CD/Cassette crystal glassy tones from I guess the Yamaha DX7, very sparse and clean this is like 'green tea' music. Reminds me a bit of Pauline Anna Strom Check it here DREAM CARPETS - INTERIOR FOUNTAINS Mood HUT Cassette Esoteric new agey minimal ambient. Can we have TOO MUCH woolyness and tape saturatioN??? Ofcourse NOT. It might be a bit too repetitive and simplistic sometimes...but there is something 'mysterious'with the sound, the mix or frequencies....that makes it feel you are massaging your ears & brain with velvet gloves...it all justs sound very very pleasant, there is no need for structural show off or musical wittiness anyways when it comes down to the essence. JOEY BELTRAM - AONOX 1994 Barramundi LP/CD Earlier this year Ron Morelli hit me up and said "Did you know Joey Beltram made an ambient album in the 90s!?! and its pretty f*ckin' good!" I checked it out and WOW indeed! Its more rhythmical slow paced IDM-ish then ambient, maybe "Industrial Ambient" if such a thing can occur. Absolute highlight is the SOUTH PACIFIC track...the whole album has this south pacific feel to it, the immense desolate body of water with a few islands populated with sparse palmtrees under a dark looming stormy sky. Stuff like that. Rumor has it that you can play this album sped up at 45rpm too (or pitched up on CD) to change it into a secret weapon for techno sets. Here is a youtube playlist with the album
