Disc 5
This picture does not do this boxset justice.
Its a bright gold leaf, gold fag box style box.
With the 10 cds in red covers inside.
And so far some great music.

I knew you would be pleased with it...

mellow cow-like vibes...

Some lovely lyrical piano from Pieranunzi supported gracefully by Marc Johnson and Joey Baron.

No singers on this one, just saxophone and guitar/kantele, but it's lovely, and makes me want to get volume 3. ACT have some nice releases lined up for the new year (check out the musicians on the Lars Danielsson CD):

Norrlannd II ? Sure ! (Even if III is more "interesting" due to the combination with voices, II is great, too)

That does look good. I like Mathias Eick's sound.

GAS - Nah Und Fern - Disc 2. More gassy ambience. Sounds just like Disc 1 but I like it.

Adrian,
What sort of ambience musik?

Kinda of hard to descibe really so I'l borrow some stuff instead. It is just really noise but it s rather entrancing and well, ambient.

If the notion of a German enterprise tasked with alchemizing sound into something like vapor doesn't excite you, it should. That was effectively the premise behind Gas, one of many projects marshaled by Wolfgang Voigt before he started the epochal electronic label Kompakt. From its inception in the mid-'90s, Gas music has tried to conjure the mysterious depths of the German forest—the streaks of light and pockets of darkness that fizz between trees that breathe. On the four albums bundled into the reissue box set Nah Und Fern, the results have been beautiful and unnerving. The Gas sound is all about the changing same, with long washes of ambient textures and a sublimated pulse that evokes techno without sounding the least bit literally danceable. Glimmers of brass and strings wander in from old traditional German songs, but mostly, it's a magisterial sound that begs listeners to get lost inside it.

Ewemon,

A friend of mine got this for me, I really like it. To be honest I was not familiar with his work and did not really know what to expect, but it grabbed me straight away. Highly enjoyable and well worth a punt IMHO.
