Review of Thesecretnumbertwelve [12k1000]

Ambientrance (US)

Muted, hazy (and occasionally lightly beaty) atmospheres create a truly mood-altering state of electronic ambience. Ranging from the computerized, techno-tribal wanderings of thesecretnumbertwelve to the prolonged droning electron cloud of floating point (16:40) to the muffled xylophon-iness of in pools (3:22), the sounds tend to float at a blessedly slow pace. I can just melt to this stuff…

Really deserves the full-length treatment, but just recently sold out (and *may* be the last HMD release…), so you’ll have to catch it where you can. And of course, see this month’s interview with Taylor Deupree…
