Broad waves of colour and astute treatment of minimalist rhythmic material worked up into climactic swells and splashes which sweep you elsewhere. But not to bed :-) "Born with first album Tentations, Ambio just released their new opus, Fluctuations. Right from the beginning, one is drawn into a dreamlike world of beauty and amazing sounds, invited to an imaginary journey to distant shores. An evocation full of poetry. Long atmospheric tracks are at times supported by strong sequenced beats, as in Checkmate or Double Helice, which recall the best moments of electronic music classics. The daydream ends weightless underwater with Buddha Dream, where one imagines encounters with schools of tropical fishes in coral reefs and expects to meet outworld colorful creatures. Besides its strong visual inspiration, Fluctuations differs from current productions by the quality of its achievement, empowered by a choice of sounds that gives an infectious desire to use electronic instruments at their best. Plain style and simplicity are part of the aesthetics of this album. But moreover, the purity of the sounds, as well as the mix and the spatial elements contribute widely to the experience."
