Sebastian Meissner is Klimek and he makes wonderful ambient music that leans somewhat towards the darkside and has lush modern classical flourishes. At times I'm reminded of early Murcof. There's some real drama and feeling coming through the strings. I even get distant dub and even jazz elements coming through. I looked at his page on Discogs and there was a picture of him looking well hard with a sling shot and another of him with a massive dog that looks like a wolf. So I'm going to say nice things about his CD in case he shoots me up with his weapon and then covers me in dog food and sets his dog on me. This is the greatest record of all time. Seriously though this is really good stuff and if you liked 'Dedications' then 'Movies In Magic' is well worth investigation. Out on Anticipate.

What their label says...

*  German ambient pioneer Klimek has been releasing acclaimed albums on respected labels for a number of years and is a regular contributor to Kompakt’s superlative ‘Pop Ambient’ series.

*  The CD comes packaged with a 14 x 9 fold-out poster with an alternate cover photo image.

*  Movies is Magic deals both directly and peripherally with ideas of film music: its purpose, its meaning, its uses. Like an orchestra restructured in the digital domain, the remnants at the core of each piece lend themselves less to conservatory comparisons than filmic ones. The material is the product of a variety of allegiances and alliances: from soundtracks to the range of electro-acoustic and electronic sensibilities that produce such works as these.

*  Ambiences reside inside, but are never left untouched or undeveloped, subverting expectations and leaving trails of themselves long after each song ends. Large, picturesque settings produce emotionally compelling mini-narratives,
while warm, open progressions balance with the multi-layered shadows that are expected from a Klimek album.

*  Tracklisting:
