This is a dude from The Field who are well popular now. If I hear another person banging on about the Field I'm gonna proper stab someone up. Nothing wrong with 'em at all... in fact I quite like 'em it's the banging on I have a problem with. The album is supposed to reflect Alex's experience in Germany (he's from Sweden you see). This sounds pretty lush from what I've heard. Essentially it's decent European experimental synthy electronica. Lots of nice old synth sounds create some pretty amazing soundscapes. It reminds me of some of the old Astralwerks Ambient Techno comps at times though the majority of the tracks are beatless (there are one or two with a techy vibe) the rest of it is largely ambient sounding. The track called 'End' reminds me a lot of ISAN with it's chilled melodic electronics. The whole thing is bursting with Kosmische style space melodies from the future. I'm going to end by saying this is very good.

* Please allow us the pleasure of introducing Axel Willner's (aka THE FIELD) Loops Of Your Heart.

* Hailing from Sweden, the man behind this record alone needs no introduction, as he is already well known in the
electronic music scene for his project The Field. Loops Of Your Heart reflects Axel’s experience in Germany, where
during his lengthy stays, his mantra-like arpeggiators contributed to the first manifestation of the sound of Cologne Tape,
a group that formed while he was staying there. You can also hear this on the much sought after debut "Render,"

*
Only a foreshadow for what was to about to come, Willner has been living in Berlin and letting his creativity go crazy.
With an arsenal of special synthesizers and guitars he has put together "And Never Ending Nights". After touring
worldwide with The Field for the last 10 years, "And Never Ending Nights" is like coming home again. You can hear
German children speaking outside his studio in Berlin (on the track "Neukölln") and it is not only the track titles which tell
of things that have come to an end and or are about to happen. The old German musical tradition of letting yourself go
(Holger Czukay, You, Anima, Cluster, you name it) is in the air, and Willner breathes it. His highly personal approach to
music and composition leads to nothing less then a matchless album that embodies beginning anew.

* LP comes in high quality, heavy sleeves, black paper bags and contains a free CD
