LPF12 :: Cover the Sky With Vellum and Stone (The Crime League)

A pleasant and recommended musical listening that will definitely find new adepts in the space ambient music universe.

LPF12 is a transcendental and abstract space ambient project coming from Germany and formed by Sascha Lemon back In the 90s. After a long time break the project has been back since 2010. LPF12 most recent materials are now signed on The Crime League. After an eloquent and sonically tremendous minimal ambient album titled Rising Through Barricades (2013) the project offers here a fascinating deep space ambient effort populated by vertiginous and enveloping synthesized textures, spiraling electronic transmissions and ritualistic acoustic timbres.

This digital release starts its musical voyage with an immediately recognizable kinetic-astral like atmosphere where vast manipulated textures meet melodiously inflected sinuous waves and rhythmical electronic patterns. The second track follows a rather different stylistic path, surfing on IDM music and post-modernist electronic pop. The sound signature is original, punchy and groovy at the same time. “Mourn” provides a more wintery-naturalistic dronescaping ambience, very smoothly and beautifully contemplative, sustained by discreet electronic percussion. “Pouring Cold Light Over The Endless Horizon” presents the project at its pick of peacefulness and mind-introspection with shimmering drone moves, futurist-hypnotic grooves and delicate piano touches. The title-track appears to be at the cross of contemporary IDM, post-techno minimalist soundscapes and vintage Kosmische music from Klaus Schulze, Robert Schroeder, Ian Boddy or Neuronium to name a few. A pleasant and recommended musical listening that will definitely find new adepts in the space ambient music universe.
