All The Things That Happen

Serious drone pop classic in waiting here. That it was built on an SK1 makes it just more beautiful and will set the synth gear heads spinning. Super deep, super detailed flickering pop feedback. Reminds me of the 1st album by Surface of the Earth. Another masterpiece created on limited gear. Think I just found the album of 2022. Congratulations x AB

My favorite KMRU release since Peel. Like all good ambient his work gets me to zone out, but this and Peel actually begin to transport me somewhere mentally, "transporting ambient". Bill Brasky
