Collection 2: Moving: Review by Dene Bebbington at Wind and Wire

Databloem (and its sub-label dataObscura) is a Dutch label specialising in ambient, downtempo, glitch, and experimental forms of electronica. Moving is their second compilation album and it comprises eleven tracks by the following artists: Mantacoup, Carbon Boy, The Circular Ruins, Spielerei, Saul Stokes, Psychetropic, ENV(itre), Mankunochi Bento, Subradial, Vir Unis, and Cyscape. If, like me, you're not able to follow the ambient scene religiously then some of the artists may be unknown; I'm only...

Collection 2: Moving: Review by Brooky at Modern Dance

If the first collection was not good enough for you, then you really are the most difficult person in the world to please. Just to remind you that I awarded a rating of 100 out of 10 to the first album. My maths may be suspect, but my thoughts about music are very precise. The opening track by the Dutchman who records under the name of Mantacoup is absolutely superb. Sap is one of those...

Collection 2: Moving: Review by Andy G at CD Services

There's a certain added level of listening excitement when you become so immersed in the music on a "various artists" album, that it's only half way through when you remember that you are actually listening to music created and played by a number of different musicians, since it exhibits such a consistency of flow and melody, rhythm and feel, that you'd been thinking it was all the work of one set of musicians. That's...

Collection 2: Moving: Review by David Law at Synth Music Direct

Some of the artists / bands on this CD I have heard of before but most are new to me. It is the second sampler by the databloem label and they certainly have a good ear for inventiveness and quality within what could loosely be called the ambient genre. The first track 'Sap' by Mantacoup was recently reviewed along with their excellent album 'Equinox' so check there for further details. 'Nano' by Carbon Boy...

Collection 2: Moving: Review by Phil Derby at Electroambient Space

The Databloem label is all about cool, cutting edge electronics, without the annoying heavy incessant beats that drive me away from liquid trance and similar styles. The eleven tracks on Collection 2: Moving include four artists that are familiar to me and seven that are new. In the latter category, Mantacoup's "Sap" starts things off strong, with a long whooshing fade in, followed by soft bells and a guitar-like synth lead. Mantacoup's new album...

Collection 2: Moving: Review by Brian Bienowski at The Ambient Review

Collection 2: Moving is, as the title suggests, the second compilation from the Dutch label Databloem. This label has been making a terrific name for itself, releasing high-quality electronica albums from a number of new and exciting artists. Moving is billed as "a collection of ambient explorations and grooves"--and it's a very satisfying collection; seemingly a denizen of an alternate universe where techno artists chose to discard their club roots in favor of the...

Snowsky & No Ink: Review by Chris Williams at Absorb

With it's gorgeous CD design using stock photography, it's certainly a case of 'first taste is with the eye' for this 12-track compilation. The somewhat esoteric electronica herein matches too, which is nice. Snowsky gets things off to a fabulous start with 'Mineze' - a part-Venetian Snares part-Plaid wonder which stutters all over the place yet still delights. The more awkward 'Chiisai wasuremono no shima' by the interestingly named Makunouchi Bento follows on and...

Inter Pares Inter Pares: Review by Edgar Vareiko at GIAG

The 3" is Siemers 1979 to 2003, 43 tracks in 20 minutes and yes that's what I call being creative over a long period of time and yes I wouldn't mind some Beatles for breakfast — not the dead ones, I do prefer fresh meat thank you. This record is just about everything from power electronics to nowave, from tunes that last 10 seconds to ambient that lasts 50, from musique concrete to electronica....

Knock on the Sky and Listen to the Sound: Review by Mircea Pavelescu at Timpolis

Batand la usile cerului: un nou album-experiment de muzica ambientala semnat Daniel Dorobantu. Apreciat ca unul dintre cei mai promitatori si carismatici compozitori de muzica ambientala si electronica din Romania, timisoreanul Daniel Dorobantu le propune celor impatimiti de acest gen muzical, dar si celor dispusi sa experimenteze "calatorii spirituale", prin intermediul sunetelor, un nou album de muzica ambientala electronica, numit sugestiv "Knock on the sky and listen to the sound". "Sa bati la usile cerului si...

dayone: Review by Marius Ghenț at Vice

Am încercat să ascult primul album românesc de 24 de ore și am eșuat lamentabil După ce asculți opt ore de muzică ambientală, devine un efort, chit că sună bine. Muzica ambientală e genul ăla unde chiar și un val care se izbește de țărmul mării poate fi considerat un instrument. Sau șuierul vântului de seară prin munții Parâng. Mai pui niște clape la interval de treizeci de minute și ai o piesă. În funcție de...
