Kompakt's beloved
Pop Ambient
series returns for the year 2011. This is the label's other arena of bliss -- always curated and carefully compiled by label co-owner
Wolfgang Voigt
(aka
Gas
). Somber times call for more introspective soundscapes --
Pop Ambient 2011
continues its mission to slowly persuade its signature sound introduced over a decade ago. In 2011, Kompakt sees the series leaning towards a slightly darker complexion than its predecessors. It launches with a selection from one of Voigt's favorite albums of 2010 -- the impeccable "Bernsteinzimmer" from
ANBB
aka
Carsten Nicolai
/
Alva Noto
from Raster Noton and the legendary
Blixa Bargeld
of
Einstürzende Neubauten
.
Marsen Jules
brings classical composition to soothing synthetic reality with "Once In A Moment."
Triola
is the ambient voice of legendary Cologne producer
Jörg Burger
aka
The Modernist
. If compared to the melancholic but soothing and light Triola signature-sound, "Dunkelraum" ("Darkroom") is rather dark and epic. Wolfgang Voigt chooses to remain unveiled this year as he presents an exclusive track on
Pop Ambient 2011
. "Rückverzauberung 1" illustrates his new Profan concept. Emotive, Gas-eous harmony that glows and leaves you wanting more.
Bhutan Tiger Rescue
is the surprising duo of
October
and
Ewan Pearson
. They debut with a sleighbell melodic drone tune that ominously breaks down in a sea of noise. Kompakt co-founder
Jürgen Paape
recalls the vintage beauty of
Ambient 4
Eno
together with compelling vocals and horns to soothe the way.
Bvdub
is one of today's most revered musicians and Kompakt is pleased to welcome him back with his seemingly endless layers of depth. Kompakt's own
John Harten
aka
Crato
could be
Pop Ambient
's answer to black metal -- a most unholy matrimony but exceptionally executed! Fellow Cologne conspirator
Daniel Ansorge
aka
Barnt
made waves in 2010 with his debut on the Magazine imprint alongside Crato and takes the sound of the chime to astounding levels.
Mikkel Metal
of Copenhagen returns after a very successful run of releases on Echocord, contributing a masterful synth-pop excursion.
Jens-Uwe Beyer
may be known to many as
Popnoname
and has remained a highlight of past editions of
Pop Ambient
. This year, he thrills us with a guitar treatment with "Volax" -- sincerely Beyer's, he evokes a talent not unlike
Tim Hecker
. Finally, Kompakt leaves you with a production of epic proportions. In October, 2010,
The Orb
's own
Thomas Fehlmann
performed together with select members of the
Montreal Symphony Orchestra
conducted by
Kent Nagano
. Kompakt presents an exclusive, alternative Fehlmann "solo" take of "Symphony No. 1" aka "Titan" by
Gustav Mahler
. The
Pop Ambient 2011
version is an exclusive solo version of this classical recording.
