Got a sweet 17 track compilation CD on Audio Dregs called 'Ambient Not Not Ambient'. When I peeped the tracklist on this I was genuinely surprised at the line up. It's not everyday you get artists from labels like Skam, Load, 12k, Not Not Fun, Kranky, Type and Dreck among others all on the same album. So what you get are tunes from E*Vax, White Rainbow, Mudboy, Dania Shapes, Bird show, Yellow swans, WZT Hearts, Sawako, Grouper, Nudge, AM/PM, Smoke & Mirrors, E*Rock, Freeform, Chris herbert, Lucky Dragons and Valet. There's all manner of lovely otherworldly sounds on here and a snip at £6.99.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

This collection was curated by Paul Dickow together with E*Rock as a long term project showcasing some outsider ambient works and blissed-out pop from their hometown in Portland as well as friends across the seas. Emphasis was made to bring together artists from a variety of scenes and different underground bubbles of music producers that remain close to our hearts. Though many of the artists may have never previously bumped shoulders it was important for us in keeping a common thread in the musicality and a conscious flow to the collection. Ambient Not Not Ambient should act strongly on its own merit as a complete thematically unified album of exclusive tracks, not an ad-hoc collection of unrelated tracks. This is part of the reason it took us so long to organize from conception to completion and to paint a larger picture with the variety involved. We are now stoked though and proud to offer this maxed-out 75+ minute compilation of exclusive tracks at special "EP" price.What you'll find is the mellow side of sonic terrorists like Yellow Swans (Load Records) next to old school electronic mainstays like Freeform (Skam/Warp) or AM/PM (Dreck) and full blown psychedelic wizards like White Rainbow (Kranky/Marriage) and Birdshow (Kranky). Tracks by Lucky Dragons unique "sound art" style next to pop craftsman E*Vax (of Ratatat fame) float together with sparse compositions by Sawako (12k). There will be some fresh faces on the table for almost any listener (even the hard-core music nerds), for instance Smoke & Mirrors is the debut appearance by a new duo featuring Strategy’s Paul Dickow. Some of our favorite experimentalists and growling amorphous freedom rock and anti-rock have been cross-pollinated with some of best musical friends and ever expanding audio family.
