POP AMBIENT 2021

2020 release. ItAEs 2020, the year Pop Ambient turns twenty-one years old, a spritely young adult waltzing out of its teenage joys and tears. Pop Ambient has always stood for a certain classicism and elegance, a kind of beatless music thatAEs diaphanous and hazy, gossamer and glittering. Pop Ambient has always felt like a field for play for the KOMPAKT cognoscenti, and 2021 is no different, with Joachim Spieth collaborating with Pepo Gal?n on the sidereal visions of oLibrationo, while Leandro Fresco teams up with Thore Pfeiffer on the lovely oAbejorroo. Pfeiffer also contributes two lovely solo miniatures of abstract longing. Yui Onodera calls in again, long distance, for their fourth Pop Ambient running, with the refracted, glinting lightscapes of oCromo 5o and oMonochromeo, while there are also star turns from Max W?rden, both solo and in Reich & W?rden (with Luis Reichard), and Morgen Wurde, who drops by with the aeethereal dramaAE of oMittsommero.'
