Electronic Sound Issue 109 (Ambient Music, An A to Zzzzz)
Electronic Sound
Turn on, tune in, chill out. We're diving deep into the world of Ambient Music for the first Electronic Sound of the year and we're bundling the magazine with a superb double CD featuring 24 soundscapes from across the spectrum of this fascinating genre. The centrepiece of this month's cover feature is a jam-packed A To Zzzzz Of Ambient encompassing countless artists and records alongside labels, sub-genres, events, installations, books, fanzines, radio shows, concepts and much more. It's an entertaining as well as informative directory. Brian Eno pops up all over the shop, as does Alex Paterson, and the list also includes things such as Deep Listening, Whale Sounds, Drone Metal, Repetition, Tone Poems, Mark Rothko's Seagram Murals, Hypnosis, Floating, Ambient Church and Reversing Lorries. Yes, you read that last one right. There's lots of other good stuff for you elsewhere this issue, including a rare interview with enigmatic Swedish maverick Karin Dreijer, aka Fever Ray. Acclaimed Northern Irish DJ and producer David Holmes meanwhile gives us the lowdown on his new solo album and cultural polymath Don Letts talks about the influences that have made him the one-man tour de force he is today. Plus Mueran Humanos, Universal Harmonies & Frequencies, Peter Howell, Bas Jan, Montan~era and Alex H Duncan. The latter is a plant and fungi synthesist. Yes, you read that right too. We’re combining this month's magazine with ‘Ambient Light / Ambient Dark’, a magnificent double CD that brings together 24 ambient soundscapes spanning nearly half a century. Moving from weightless and dreamy drifters to eerie and unsettling atmospheres (and back again) over the course of its two discs, the full tracklist of this eclectic collection is:

Tangerine Dream’s debut for Richard Branson’s still-shiny Virgin label, 'Phaedra' came out exactly 50 years ago and was greeted with a mixture of curiosity, excitement, confusion and contempt. While electronic music was nothing new by this point, the sequencer-heavy sound was electronic music as it had never been heard before. The album is widely and rightly recognised as a 24-carat classic now, of course, setting the Berlin group on the path to superstardom. They stayed with Virgin for the next decade or so, releasing a string of magnificent records that also included ‘Rubycon’ (1975) and ‘Force Majeure’ (1979). Elsewhere this issue, we have interviews with the current incarnation of Tangerine Dream, who have produced some great work in recent years, and with one-time Kraftwerk man Karl Bartos, who tells us about his soundtrack to a century-old German expressionist film. We have other features on Yard Act, Maya Shenfeld, Martha And The Muffins, Drew Mulholland, Tristan Perich, Om Unit and Office For Personal Development too. If you haven't come across OPD before, they're a synthpop group masquerading as a sinister corporate cult. Or maybe that's the other way round... To accompany the magazine, we have an orange vinyl seven-inch featuring edits of two pivotal tracks from 'Phaedra' – the much acclaimed title cut and the equally brilliant ‘Mysterious Semblance At The Strand Of Nightmares’. Both glittering analogue jewels, they showcase Tangerine Dream at their pinnacle. When ‘Phaedra’ was released in America, Virgin put edits of these same two tracks back-to-back on a promo-only single that was mailed out to a small number of journalists, radio DJs and store owners. The promo has been one of Tangerine Dream’s rarest records for many decades."
