Waveplant - Refragment

netlabel - moment sound
genre - ambient, downtempo, house, idm
release date - 2008

A Waveplant is a union between different elements that combine to create a singularity with hybrid vigor. Rather than keeping strictly with any genre, Waveplant extends this idea into tracks and scores that share this blend of approach: fresh and forward, human and resonant.
There are 2 sets, downtempo (1 - 5) and minimal house (6 - 8), each with different scenes, or tracks that are meant to be listened continuously. momentsound.com

Weigl & Hoffmann - Elevate EP

netlabel - id.eology
genre - electropop, ambient
release date - 2008

Weigl & Hoffmann get into the elevator to a secret floor inbetween mind and soul. In a slow steady movement, like paper-boats on softly shimmering water, their ambient pop songs drift through the auditory canal right into your conscience. Subtle soundscapes, discreet guitar and piano ambiences along with breathy vocals create a contemplative atmosphere that gradually surrounds you, draws you in deeper and deeper, zooming your inner eye into the very core of yourself. ideology.de

Moabi- Sexe bourgeois

netlabel - dog eared records
genre - ambient
release date - 2008

The first thing you should note about Sexe bourgeois is how the track titles hang together to form a single maybe-sweet/maybe-dark sentence. This would seem to imply a couple of things. First, that what we have here is a suite. Second, that the subject of that suite has something to do with love. The first suspicion is easily confirmed—the individual tracks do indeed work together, sharing sounds and ideas, and generally forming a cogent whole. The second, however, is a bit more ambiguous. If this record is about love, it’s not the top-40 boyfriend/girlfriend bubblegum variety. No, this thing is about something much darker, mysterious, and altogether more interesting.
The tone is set from the start, with distant furtive bits of melody flitting through a cavernous soundscape—like a spectral orchestra tuning up in a subway station. And it remains a dark ride throughout. The tempos are steady, sometimes even brisk, but never lively, and the musical ideas tend toward the mournful...
Moabi's album from resting bell on GNs.

The Thomas Nunnally Ensemble - The Tunnel At The End Of The Light

netlabel - negative sound institute
genre - nujazz, idm, ambient

On this EP, the Thomas Nunnally Ensemble ride the hand-car down the rails in an recording about the way in which the process of living renders both sweet and bittersweet the transfers and railway stops that characterize coach travel in the human condition ... TNE create music in juxtaposition - an ambient drone might be accompanied by an electro beat, a narrative about passing clouds might be married to an urban frenzy. In so doing, they seek to neither darken the light nor lighten the tunnel. They aim instead to provide a pleasing reality in the fantasy of divergent musical ideas ...
