Pop Ambient 2006 //

Kompakt // Kompakt //

POP AMBIENT is programmed poetry, feeled data processing, it is like a sweet way of getting drunk without having a hangover. POP AMBIENT is the orchid in the pleasure garden of ambient music." POP AMBIENT 2006 features not only wellknown heros like Markus Guentner, The Orb, Ulf Lohmann, Triola, Andrew Thomas or the most enchanting Tetsuo Sakae from Japan and his project called 'Pass into Silence'... POP AMBIENT 2006 also features some hot new entrants, for example jazzy Uli Teichmann who comes up with free piano improvisations over smoothed sound echos and who, as the name suggest, is the father of the lively Teichmann Brothers. You will also find for the first time two Pop Ambient cover versions: Fleetwood Mac's classic hit "Albatros" in a wonderful version produced by K?hncke/Heimermann and already known from the Speicher 031. And Klimek's version of Eric Sati's master piece "Gymnop?die. In the meantime, the POP AMBIENT series enters its sixth year and has become a vital part of KOMPAKT's label profile. And this year again, it is the perfect Christmas present.
