Another ambiebt/downtempo/experimental style album. Listening to the previews quickly I am not sure if I will like this one as much as the last albums. Seems bit more experimental but for some reason all the high-hats sound too pronounced to me, and highs in general. WIll give it a go but bit dissapointed considering really loved everythign else they released on first list.

Yeah, it's a pass for me too. I generally enjoy this percussive techno-ambient style, but the tracks feel kind of aimless, wandering. Respect to Mikkel for experimenting and doing basically whatever he wants to make regardless of expectation, though!

backround ambient music albums made by club music producers are mostly super boring, this is no exception.. sorry Mikkel .. 'FM Source Forever' is the only -ok- track on the release
Nah, his ambient/downtempo album from last year is good, and Repulsive Force's slow BPM stuff as himself and Levitating Frog was awesome. His Omformer work on Sinesis label can be very nice too.
Didnt hear Dissolve to Evolve by Mikeel from 21? Lush.

I'm with Tranceblaster with this one, haha, especially when it comes to trance artists. For some reason, it always feels so cheesy to me when they try to do ambient.
The only usual exceptions to that rule for me are techno producers on the more leftfield side like Efdemin, Clark, or Donato Dozzy or the hypnotic side, in which case they're basically making ambient with beats anyways. Or for some reason BT???!??!

A pass from me. Too disjointed and lacking the musical balance I would typically expect from the label. At least that’s how it sounds to my ears.

def a hark back to the warp mid/late 90s idm/sofa techno style. not bad imo. it does lack a bit of direction maybe but feels like a grower. the hats are too sharp though yeah.
