I love me some ambient. Last years we've seen, in fact, a comeback of sorts, if not a frenzy: lots of little discs flying through the air, with lots of fluffy clouds across blue skies, mountains, waters, trees, suns - well, what the heck, being a dreamer saves you from the nuthouse (or a criminal career?). Someone with an unbelievably sophisticated name, even in dreamer-ratios, has made himself some reputation for these; he must've had some time to spread some 20 minidiscs in 2 years, plus many fluffy clouds flaking inside his tiny head. Machinefabriek is Dutch. And that's not the most brilliant part; it's how he takes density from clouds and into Marijn. Judging by looks alone, they might be good old cumulus, but of a more badass variety:

Some antique piano recital recorded on a wax cylinder and then broadcast from tiny blown out speakers in a huge empty warehouse, then broadcast over shortwave radio and finally heard through a battered pair of old headphones.

Nice imagery in that sentence, pretty appropriate too.
A total clusterfuck. And again, I love it. Belong, Basinski and Eluvium rolled into a fat fat joint.

As is often the case when I read your album descriptions, I'm left wondering what does doru mean by that? :)
Often have to d/l just to find out.
No mistaking the bottom bit in itallics though, very amusing.

I do like your descriptions quite a bit...usually very little fat and an honest impression not afraid of language but also not hiding behind it. This Machinefabriek really took me by surprise. Only listened to it once so far, but it made me stop what I was doing several times and finally give up and listen. I think it's remarkable. Anything else by them, or connected to them, or related in some way, would be much appreciated. I am going to look into this Lampse mystery...

we've more Machinefabriek and more Lampse in the place - just do a search on the top left corner ;)

the man has also just released "Weleer" - his 2cd compendium of works; would be worth hunting down when paycheck comes..
