Field Rotation - Licht & Schatten: an electronic gourmet's feast

This is the first discovery I will publish here, and as far as I'm concerned, it's very, very Worthy.

First of all, it's rather obscure. Field Rotation hails from Germany. It's a moniker for Christoph Berg (1985) from Kiel, and this album was released late 2009 to pave the way for his full-length debut in 2010. It can be ordered as a 4-track digital EP here.

It was also released in a limited edition of 100, that contains 7 tracks. It can be ordered here (at the moment of posting this blog, it is available, but no guarantees can be given. After all, it's very limited). The physical version has a beautiful handmade cloth cover, and it contains several other goodies to underline what I would call 'the musical genius of the composer'.

I really love this album. The music can best be described as warm ambient, with glitchy percussion and some mellow, skin-deep beats. It has a very spacey atmosphere, so you can really 'fly' when you play this. It's incredibly futuristic and comforting at the same time. Do you know the feeling that everything's going to be alright? That's how this sounds...

I know that there's music out there that is more progressive, but this just pushes all the right buttons for me. Get the limited 7-track cd while you can, or download the 4-track EP in 320 mp3 or FLAC for just ₤3.50 GBP.

A Sample can be heard here.
