Well, after having a chance to (sort-of) compare three releases (by coincidence) i found that Proem's 'Among Others' (N5MD), Somatic Responses upcoming full length 'Dying Language' (Ad Noiseam) and Andre Estermann's 'Balloon' (Sellwell) are quite similar in style. Ranging from rhythmic, bouncy melodies to abrasive and abstract electronics, all three of these titles have deep basslines paralleled with sharp production. Three excellent releases i think many list members should look into.. Websites for the releases listed above are :: N5MD :: www.n5md.com Ad Noiseam :: www.adnoiseam.com Sellwell :: www.sellwell.de Another release that didn't get too much mention last year was Tim Tetlow's 'Beauty Walks a Razor's Edge' on Planet-Mu (i would compare this album to early Aphex Twin, and at points even surpassing that era..) Preciously crafted ambient electronics with some of the most beautiful melodies, rhythms, and percussion.. A definite highlight album from 2001 that i still play even today..

fans of estermann's work will also undoubtedly enjoy the cloinc disc "lonely bits". it's andre + jan bruhnke (sp?) from the electric sheep record on MaS. it's on sellwell too. andre's crystal raindrop melodies are everpresent there as well. respect, Jeff Davis fon: 216.266.69696 pHlow@earthlink.net fax: 216.266.2360 home.earthlink.net\~phlow cel: 216.533.6303 hyperreal.org\music\rotator\ -----Original Message----- From: audio::nimbus [mailto:audionimbus@hotmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 6:51 PM To: IDM List Cc: Ambient List Subject: [idm] Proem, Somatic Responses, Andre Estermann, Tim Tetlow Well, after having a chance to (sort-of) compare three releases (by coincidence) i found that Proem's 'Among Others' (N5MD), Somatic Responses upcoming full length 'Dying Language' (Ad Noiseam) and Andre Estermann's 'Balloon' (Sellwell) are quite similar in style.

i have the cd, and it has i think 14 tracks on it. it's lovely. i have had it in my car for several weeks at a time, in the changer. i always switch to it when i feel rubbed raw by the world around me. here's a place that has some of the cd only tracks for you to listen to: http://www.planet-mu.com/ziq020.html -rachel (aka dj pie) -- "at this time you can feel balance strength and sphere peaceful levitating the window." --from the instructions sheet for my "magnetic suspension lamp" On Fri, 1 Mar 2002, d_jak wrote:

As DJ Pie already mentioned, the CD release for 'Beauty Walks a Razor's Edge' is well worth the purchase if you only have the vinyl version. I was originally introduced to the CD, and fell in love with it immediately.. especially the "Mind is Moving" cut.. The vinyl version seems to be missing tracks, so having both is a good investment.. and you'll have some top-notch electronics for your tray to cuddle up with..

the vinyl release has less tracks because it was released about 9 months before the cd, i rememeber picking up the vinyl at a planet-my party and i always used to listen to it when i woke up for a couple of months. i see it as a cross between caustic window and boc. ----- Original Message -----
