Vidna Obmana: Landscape in Obscurity

Read "Landscape in Obscurity" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Listening to this long ambient album by Obmana is like gazing into a shimmering pool of water in a secluded shadowy garden. It is restful and quiet and it makes no demands on your tired mind. Usually I associate the Belgian Vidna Obmana with dreary hours of melancholy electronic droning but this piece by him has ...

Jeff Greinke: Lost Terrain

Read "Lost Terrain" reviewed by AAJ Staff


Seattle-based ambient composer Jeff Greinke has a varied output, which ranges from rock to jazz to experimental noise, but he is perhaps best known for his ambient work. This 1992 album, Lost Terrain , is some of his finest ambient work, characterized by a slow-paced, chill melancholy. Not for Greinke are the pseudo-"tribal" drumbeats of other ...

Robert Rich: Inner Landscapes

Read "Inner Landscapes" reviewed by AAJ Staff

Read "Weightless, Effortless" reviewed by John W. Patterson


This is one of the better collections of electronic ambient, atmospherica, and mood-altering pieces. Nine morphs offer glimpses into the creative woodshedding by the likes of Keller, Johnson, DeBenedictus, Ma Ja Le, Modell, Fulton, Nerell, Fraser, and Steve ‘the legend” Roach. (Roach is everywhere anything ambient goes down! Ever notice that?)Ambience tripping herein doth ...

Richard Bone: The Spectral Ships

Read "The Spectral Ships" reviewed by John W. Patterson


This is a class act of ultra-noir ambience yet divided into 9 unique compositions. One might think Eno listening to this but not quite, a sampled voice speaks causing Bill Nelson to come to mind yet again – not really. Next piece and I envision sonar blips, scuba divers, and an old submarine flick. Then schizo ...

Richard Bone: Etherdome

Read "Etherdome" reviewed by John W. Patterson


With the same strong composing and performance skills found his earlier release, The Spectral Ships , Bone offers yet another winner. Etherdome however takes the listener into calmer worlds, soothing and restful niches. Elegantly simple, vignettes echo the likes of Brian Eno, Time Story, Steve Halpern, Wally Badarou, and Kit Watkins. Supreme peacefulness oozes forth. Synth ...
