<=> The shear beauty of this unique work from Mathias is that one can randomize the tracks and have a different album experience each time... The drones maybe shorter but are no less effective in creating a peaceful space... Hit play and forget... Bliss

Hidden Greg Incredibly relaxing and immersive. I can't believe I left this one sitting on my wishlist for so long, it's quickly become one of my favourite albums from Mathias Grassow.

about

released June 27, 2015

Composed and performed by Mathias Grassow.
Artwork – Katya Velkova.

Releasing drone and ambient music since almost forty years, Mathias has developed his very distinctive style. Long lasting tracks which hum themselves into the listener's subconsciousness, mesmerising angelic overtones mixed with haunting deep drones to forget present space and time. For the cosmic winnetou release, his first one on cassette since the late nineties, Mathias encapsuled the essences of his musical magic into pieces with running time between two and fifteen minutes. Surprisingly those short tracks makes you even more forget where and who you are and transform your inner selve into some kind of zen saint mode. How he does this? Don't know, but make sure to regard the advice of the master himself:
"I’m sure you’ll find answers not in words, but in deep listening with your heart!" cosmicwinnetou.blogspot.ru

Atmosphere for Dreaming
by Steve Roach

This is a very beautiful nature-related and calm piece of ambient music. And the cover: I just had to get this and I did! Amazing piece of art by itself. Similarities: music reminds me Robert Rich's Sleep Concerts / album versions and the art reminds me the abstract art by Mary Clanahan. ech0

What an amazing album and one of my personal favourites. It's complex, deep, emotionally moving and thought provoking. Listening with a decent pair of headphones is recommended. Madec
