Wie im Film: Space, Soundlandschaften, Polizisten, Bloody-Netaudio-Heros, elektronische Verfolgungsjagden und zartes Klavierklangunterholz zum Verstecken. Von Tscheljabinsk bis Osaka, nach Sao Paolo und dann über zurück via Rostov, Nîmes, Havanna nach New England… Nichts ist klar: Nebel, Ambient, unaufhaltsames Fallen… Die Hoffnung stirbt aber bekanntlich zuletzt. Jetzt aber erst recht… als „Hope 3.0“.

The first release of 2013 and its a guest artist. id Submerged, based in Norway, creates ambient soundscapes, with a hint of IDM such as you’ll hear in this ep entitled ‘Alone’.

Perhaps inspiration comes from the cold long nights in Norway at this time of year. Or perhaps it reflects his studio time.

Tracks range from the epic ‘Opportunities’ which has echoes of early Radix nuances, to the strangely named ‘noitalerroC’ which sounds heavily influenced by Solar Fields and the like.

A nicely chilled out release to bring in the New Year. Listen and drift away!
