Ambient fans of the world rejoice: Cologne techno stalwarts Kompakt are back with another instalment of the yearly Pop Ambient series. As usual, it'll (softly) feature a ton of material from your favorite fey lads with floppy fringes and synthesizers. The joy of these compilations is their ability to showcase the genre's breadth. Ambient, after all, goes above and beyond pallid Eno pastiches.
Expect to hear everything from classic kosmiche to tripped-out dub to modern classical and beyond. Just don't expect huge kick drums. Check out the gorgeous front cover, the incredibly enticing tracklisting, and a smattering of our favorite ever cuts from the series below.
