Ambience front cover

Recorded in 1988, an exploratory tranquility permeates this Andrew Benthe debut. A soundtrack to a time of regeneration and transformation. Largely instrumental it contains two songs: ‘Be yourself now’ and ‘Controller’. The other works are sublime layered impressionistic compositions impacted to great effect by the work of Jon Hassel and Ken Nordine. The sound of multi-timbral synthesizers down to analog tape adds warmth and clarity. Suitable for deep relaxation. The opening track has two dueling but soothing spanish guitars and is the first incarnation of a track called ‘Love never dies’, of which another more produced and effulgent reprise version exists toward the end of the disc.
