Ended the weekend and welcomed the week after my swim with Music To Fall Asleep by Klimek, released on Kompact in 2006.

As the title suggests, “MUSIC TO FALL ASLEEP" paints the picture of a nocturnal landscape - envision the faintest whispers of twilight as the hue of the sun falls below the earth, as the sandman beckons you to bed. “If you were to pick highlights from KOMPAKT's Pop Ambient compilations, it's a good bet that KLIMEK's contributions would shoot to the top of the list - an impressive feat…(his) stringed source adds a layer of familiarity and human comfort” - EARPLUG

Ended the first full week of the year and welcomed the weekend with a relisten to Milk & Honey by Klimek released on Kompact in 2004.

Milk & Honey Review by Andy Kellman

...Meissner stretches, pulls and pushes the same basic sound into as many directions as possible. Even at its most disjointed, the album carries forth soothing textures, like some form of ambient folk. Given Meissner's past in collage foolery, the guitar sounds that are present throughout -- for all we know -- could've been sampled from some privately pressed recording found at a junk sale. Regardless of the means and the limitation of the sounds, Meissner has managed to cobble together a set that can either enhance your mood or set it. For all the abstractions (none of which seem to be made simply for the sake of it), it's all very absorbing -- or perfectly ignorable.

Ended Wednesday and welcomed Thursday after a swim with Walking In Jerusalem by Random_Inc, released on Mille Plateaux in 2002.

Selena Hsu wrote for Dusted:

"The windy rhetoric that characterizes today’s global political climate moves too often from pole to pole, from one end of a duality the other. Random_Inc, a.k.a. Mille Plateaux’s Sebastian Meissner, breathes new life into one of the most highly charged topics and regions in recent global history. Sonically, and in some ways conceptually, Random_Inc takes cues from Muslimgauze's sonic pilgrimages, posing as a modern wanderer in an ancient land, gathering sound snippets and melodic fragments and warping them through strands of static..."
