Do you recall how you came to listen to the Mathias Grassow album, The OM-Drones? I can't seem to find a copy anywhere. :(

Hello! Please excuse the spam but I'm just letting those on my friends list know that my post-rock band Gilmore Trail have a new album out called The Floating World, which is full streamable here: http://www.gilmoretrail.bandcamp.com - I would love to hear your thoughts on it!

Glad you like it, an amazing atmosphere on that one. The Dream Catalogue label seems to be worth keeping an eye on for this sound. They released a compilation recently, The Eternal Dream System which I might try out.

I can't say anything else comes to mind though.

Hey! I recalled you saying you thought 2814's album is awesome and I heard another excellent (particularly late at night) vaporwave album today: ルートバックホーム. It's not strictly vaporwave, but neither is 2814's album. I'd say it's far more ambient inclined but you're into ambient, right?

The artwork for both those albums really does remind me of Blade Runner.

Favorite ambient album of 1999 go!
