Meditative,
slow motion analog love songs. Devoid of beats, incorporating vaguely ethnic
samples and warm lullaby harmonics. Heartbeat Submarines will usher in a whole
new era for ambient music. A must-have.
-XLR8R
Harkens to electronic
music's early days, when shape and shade meant more than speed and style.
Let long loops of sound drift around you, while wisps of trippy, trancey neurotica
frame wide expanses of textured earstuff. Heartbeat Submarines will nestle
gently in the lobes Glittering with analog sonics, lo-fi synth and the shadow
of a Moog.
-Magnet
Just when you think the ambient genre is dead, some special recording comes along to renew faith. A useful aid to the discriminating chiller's lifestyle. Best suited for drifting off to sleep while recalling your childhood memories. -The Skinny
Few groups have been
as aptly named as Sonogram, whose pleasant, minimalist electronic music creates
a virtual womb in which to curl up right inside one's speakers or headphones.
Totally original stuff, a savvy, satisfying update of ambient music.
-Amazon
Burbling keyboard melodies
slathered over thick cushion-like beds of impenetrable sound. A soundtrack
for your mind's wandering.
-Splendid
Gleaming new constructions
assembled at unusual angles, in quasi-futuristic arrangements with unusual
shapes painted in unfamiliar colors.

Passively captivating.
-Ambience
for the Masses
Shrill sonar transmissions

your consciousness.
-Last
Sigh
Echoing unidentifiable
sounds lie in front of a backdrop of peaceful ambience and muted drones...mimimalistic
melodies fade in and out.
-Grinding Into Emptiness
The subtleties evade
quantification. One to wallow in...this is a label to watch.
