Bleep

For the inaugural instalment of Kompakt’s Pop Ambient album series (a chance for the beat-free electronics to be stretched to full LPs), Leandro Fresco comes through with a stunning collection of compositions that explore the emotive possibilities for ambient music. From the pure blissfulness of the opener, Fresco sails through a myriad of instruments and soundscapes with ease. From the slightly darker moments like El Valle, to the centred oneness of the titular closer- this is pop ambience of the highest order- a free-flowing sculpture of sound.
