On the A you will find Ralph & Andrew from the Friendly Side pulling together an hour from the pioneers and contemporary sophists of ambient music. All background sounds, the mix culminates in a collision of electronic and acoustic passages, voices in quiet rooms and the sounds of the sea and space.
With his own right to a special place in the world of American ambient music, Dan Abrams, under his alias Shuttle358, has defined his own expansive sound on releases for the 12k label in the late 1990's and throughout the 21st century. He takes over for his own hour on the B, a compilation of his early influences and contemporaries. Flourescent new age baked in the sun, hallucinogenic drones and hypnotic extractor fan noises blend together for a vivid journey over to the Strange Side.

Just superb ! How these 90’ computer glitches give a vintage twist to the rebirth of this ambient/glitch style. Could be the next sci-fi best track. Great chill out with gin & lime! Margaret Harmer

Another album of subtle electronica that will also cater to the listeners who want the ambiant feel. It does not sound electronic, parts feel organic. It is all really well done. CReam of the cream. Thibaut Devigne
An introspective record that fuses post-rock, shoegaze and ambient synth patches into a seamless array of shimmering soundscapes. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 26, 2023
