Ulf Lohmann - Because Before
KOMPAKT CD 13 - 2001
Ambient Music. This is what I'd describe as heavenly. Very legato and makes use of drones, but in such a musical way that I've never heard elsewhere. Very deep and how I'd describe as mystical, even magical. But mostly musical. It's taken the -mostly- beatless tracks from his Because and Before LPs (or are they EPs?).
*edit: To add to the description, it is repetitive music like a lot under the umbrella of Ambient. Also it is music with a lot of layers. But the layers are so harmonious with each other.
Another release of his is On Frozen Fields (http://www.discogs.com/release/433700). The A side of this one I don't get into - I think it's aimed at the dance party crowd. However the B side... that is something else. In fact I don't know how many times I've listened to it - maybe hundreds within the space of a few months and it's as good as when I first heard it. Similar to my description of Because Before, but even more deep and magical in my opinion.
I've tried searching for info on this guy Ulf Lohmann but can't find much?
