The bliss is finally back -- presenting the 2009 edition of Kompakt's highly-anticipated fan-favorite series,
Pop Ambient
. To the uninitiated,
Pop Ambient
serves as a very essential arm of the Kompakt family -- always curated by Kompakt co-founder
Wolfgang Voigt
(aka
Gas
,
Burger/Ink
, etc.), always offering a provocative collection of listening music that is guaranteed to give you warmth throughout those cold winter months. One of the most striking things many will find on this year's edition are the many new faces, compared to the historically familiar roster that has graced previous editions. Leading noise/experimental producer
Tim Hecker
of Alien8 and Kranky fame joins in with a tremendous contribution that builds wave after wave of textured noise and melody. Boomkat's winners of best album of 2008,
The Fun Years
take loop melody and turn it inside-out with an astounding, exclusive, guitar-based tune.
Pop Ambient 2009
turns to the mighty imprint Type and the esteemed producer
Sylvain Chauveau
with two contributions of untreated works from the lovely
Nuage
full-length that straddles his work with a small ensemble and his own piano and guitar performances. Considering the overwhelming response to Wolfgang Voigt's Gas collection reissue
Nah Und Fern
and the Raster-Noton book/CD of 2008, it's fair game he dominates this compilation under the guise of
Mint
, with this deep and somberly moving piece, as well as together with longtime production partner
Jörg Burger
as
Burger/Voigt
with a Gas-eous remix of
Jürgen Paape
's "Ausking" and a highly-emotive original.
Popnoname
shows off his diverse talent with a Kraut-y sunscape of majestic measure. Finally,
Pop Ambient
favorite
Klimek
appears in stunning splendor... the horns of heaven ring loud to open the compilation, and together with
Husak
, he brings
Pop Ambient 2009
to an end with a majestic roar. Considering that 2008 was such an amazing year for left-field electronic music, Kompakt anticipates this year's change of pace will be welcomed by their loyal fans and maybe make some new friends with a new sound. Other artists include:
Marsen Jules
and
Andrew Thomas
.
