// Latest Release: Loscil (Canada)

Scott Morgan, probably better known in the music industry as Loscil has been a round for a few number of years and has released some of the greatest ambient electronica albums heard. He has released such albums as Submers, First Narrows and Stases to great acclaim and these albums have been loved by his fans for the music's ability to make the listener feel a great range of emotions. After his last album, Coast/Range/Arc which showcased his abilities as a pure ambient electronica producer, Morgan has returned to the sound that has made him so popular with his extensive fan base on his new album Sketches from New Brighton, released this week.

I have only had the chance of listening to a handfull of the tracks so far as I have been busy on my own project as well, but what I have heard has left me speechless. The blend between the field recordings and computer generated drones has become almost unnoticeable while his skill over minimal techno rhythms serves up a great way to keep the listener keep coming back for more. This new album, to anyone who listens to ambient electronica and wishes to write some themselves, serves as a great introduction to the production skills that you need and the skills you can learn over time. If you have never heard of Loscil before, then Sketches from New Brighton is a great introduction into what Scott Morgan has to offer you. Really, you should listen from the start with his first ever album and work your way through but if you were to start from anywhere in his back catalogue, SfNB really is a great place to enter the world of Loscil.

Loscil's Sketches from New Brighton can be found on itunes and tracks can also be listened to on Youtube.

// Latest Release From Atom™ (Germany)

Atom™ is the moniker for German born Uwe Schmidt. Schmidt runs his own record label, Rather Interesting and he also owns his own design company which is called Linger Decoree. The electronic producer is regarded as the "father of electrolatino" and now lives in Santiago de Chile.

Uwe Schmidt has a great number of alias' but I will be looking at his Atom™ moniker for this blog post and his latest release, Winterreise.

Winterreise is released through german label Raster-Noton and is seen as a natural sequel to his previous album Liedgut. While creating the album Liedgut, Schmidt was inspired to do a photography art installation. While doing work for this, he started on the soundtrack which complimented the pictures. The resulting work is his latest album release Winterreise. The sound of this album can be considered as an ambient clash between long droning synths and electronic glitch which creates a sense of chaotic ambience that coincides with the art that was created.

You can listen to tracks from Winterreise by putting "Atom TM Winterreise" into Youtube.

The album Winterreise can bought through the Raster-Noton online shop at Link 2 below.
