It's a fine release, very fine one.

Just finished listening to the samples. I have no clue about ambient, so I don't know if this is considered good or bad, but I liked it a lot. It might be an idea to start checking out this genre again :)

For better samples check out their excellent site.

I listened to the 2008 version of this and it sounded like white noise the entire time. This at least has some rhythm and flavor. My friend said it sounded like funeral music, but I think it's beautiful.

Definitely one of the highlight releases of the year.

Well white noise is something that is inevitable when you listen to Ambient stuff, as for this release i really like the voigt/burger track.

I sampled this a couple of times over at my local music store, and I really wasn't getting an across the board sense of satisfaction from it, as I did with 2007 and 2006.

Still, I'll probably pick it up if I can find a used copy.

However, "Frieden" may alone be worth the price. :crazy:

Fly Like a Horse does it all for me. Just sublime.

In general, pretty solid compilation. Don't know about the earlier Pop ambient releases.
