about

Entering new territories of the physical realm, ANE returns with an EP and accompanying remix collection from Crosspolar.

The Bristol-based artist harnesses the once hyperreal aesthetics of computer simulations from the 90s to early 00s in dreamlike odes to distorted cyberspace memories. This release comes as a limited edition of floppy disk packs containing two recycled disks, one of originals and one of variations.

An upbringing in Finland during the 90s serves as a catalyst for the inspirations for these sprawling, cinematic ambient tracks. Repurposed rompler instruments and high sheen sound design represent lost dreams of the future. Sugar sweet rave euphoria is met with icy desolation. Crosspolar plunders his childhood fascinations to create this not so uncanny valley: keygen music, click-to-discover online worlds, 90s television, and turn of the millennium tech. These tracks accelerate at blistering pace whilst always looking backwards.

Ambient Punk Vol. I
by PURE LIFE

supported by 7 fans who also own “Simulacra EP”

A fine selection of atmospheric and moody "cyberpunk ambient" compositions. I doubt you could find a better compilation (of the genre) on Bandcamp. I'd prefer this was mixed (maybe with a slightly different track order) to provide a more cohesive journey. Ilya Volodarsky

by Crosspolar

supported by 6 fans who also own “Simulacra EP”

Great album of fuzzy, "degraded" sounding experimental Ambient music in which Drones and minimalist hazy melodies create intriguing ambiences that conjur up images of distant Industrial buildings and factories through the highly detailed immersive compositions and sound design and often resonating textures of the melodies, drones and background hiss.

VOID-003 - SANGAM
by Sangam

Dark ambient, vapor approach, surreal cyberpunk vibe and definitely sad and introspective. Master Sangam is so much prolific but never disappoints. Bardo Morales
