Following the almost baroque, blood-red and jet-black, extremely physical sculptures of Pop Ambient 2021, which emerged from a dark, floral sea like bodies erect for dancing, the front of 2022 is adorned with a pastel-white form, intertwined, folded many times and crisscrossed with delicate shading, which seems to float on a pale pink background; soft, gentle waves woven from Venetian colors that leave the viewer puzzled: Is it a flower, a coral, a mollusk?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAgain, the current edition of the tradition-steeped compilation series curated by Wolfgang Voigt is about the persistent and ever-necessary definition of beauty, of reduction, of electronic music of heavy lightness and light heaviness, of ambient's eternal promise of a state of physical and acoustic weightlessness and Pop's of redemption. And about the question why a never arbitrary combination of soundscape, drones, samples and loops, put together in a certain way, can create this feeling of warmth, depth and space, - something three-dimensional, where the imagination feels at home as a fish in the water or a bird in the sky. A key aesthetic stimulus that sends all the senses into a slow glide and drift, after which your synapses feel like they've been bathed in essential oil. Next to Soul, Ambient is probably the most effective musical healing plant of mankind.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBehind the aural test tubes, the who's who of Pop Ambient is once again at work, led for the first time by the highly trafficked Californian duo Blank Gloss, whose debut album \"Melt\" this year was certified by The Guardian as nothing less than \"heartaching beauty\". Yui Onodera's \"Chrome\" as well as \"Kari\", a cooperation of Markus Guentner and Joachim Spieth, could also be imagined in the score of Denis Villeneuve's new film version of DUNE - however, colleague Hans Zimmer managed that quite well without the three. After such wonderful and stylish contributions by Reich \u0026amp; Würden, Triola and Thomas Fehlmann, the ear then lingers a bit longer on the ghostly \"Weiht\" by Morgen Wurde feat. Maria Estrella, a track like a temple of sound, a deep electronic immersion in a Japanese onsen.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn this sea of unnameable time you could sink forever, but with the tracks of Andrew Thomas, Thore Pfeiffer and Max Würden \u0026amp; Pepo Galán the journey slowly comes to an end.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTracklisting\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 1 Blank Gloss Coiling 00:05:17\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 2 Yui Onodera Cromo 6 00:05:18\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 3 Markus Guentner \/ Joachim Spieth Kari 00:07:53\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 4 Reich \u0026amp; Würden Grainscan 00:06:25\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 5 Triola Mutterkorn 00:05:55\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 6 Thomas Fehlmann Rosen Fliegen 00:05:41\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1 - 7 Morgen Wurde feat.
