by Andy KellmanIf Premiere World can be compared to anything else in Reinhard Voigt's extensive catalog of several approaches and aliases, it's his releases for Harvest as Kron. However, there isn't a beat to be found on the album. Full of gently swaying chimes, pensive thrums, and distant drones, it moves through a series of moods that range from tranquil to slightly unsettling. Voigt's manipulation of numerous ambient sounds during these six untitled tracks -- the album is ideally just over 40 minutes in length -- helped pour the foundation for the substyle supported by the Kompakt label's Pop Ambient series and several outside, but close, producers. Though much of Germany's thriving electronic scene was set on the dancefloor, turn of the century releases like this and Dettinger's Intershop kept the ambient flag waving in fine style.
