seraph Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 THE AMBUSH - THE AMBUSH 1994 RECYCLE OR DIE 1. RAIN 2. CASABLANCA 3. MY NAME IS GOD 4. TERRA 5. JUNGLE FEVER 6. ATON 7. SUN Here is another project by the great german master, Oliver Lieb. Here he goes more tribal and made pretty clever structured tribal piece with lots of native indian influences. It is ambient all the way, doing different variations of tribal states. RAIN starts slowly, morphing constantly, having nice indian chanting and spacey Liebesque sounds everywhere. It is with SUN the longest one on album, 16:06 and it goes forever. He is setting the atmosphere right. He made RAIN as long intro and SUN as long outro. After very long, slow intro in the song, he added some rhythm and set you on the journey. It is driving and driving until you reach mountain top tribadelic climax that goes perfectly after minutes of preparing. Very good song. Pure tribal spirit. CASABLANCA was released as single and it is most commerical one here but so underground in style. It is also gentle in beginning until he again develops it into his certain style with spacey pads around you surrounding you and making you very comfortable. Mesmerising ! MY NAME IS GOD is pretty short but one of the most explicit one here. It has certain gentle dogmatic feel like the title suggests. It is one of the better pieces here, also building until chaotic flow of sounds by the end. Great ! TERRA is to me the best one on the album, with SUN. Here he made very crystal atmosphere with heaps of tribal influences mixed together with incredible celesial sounds and rhythms. Amazing song ! My favourite for sure...ambient and rustical all the way. JUNGLE FEVER is exactly how the title suggest, the fastest one and very concrete. Pretty good one. Very good for wild forest dancing. ATON is delicious piece of ambient work. It also describes the realm how is named after. You feel like you are surrounded by sea power and ancient civilisations merging together in tribalistic cream. Yummy ! SUN is the longest one here, 17:07 and could be said that is best song for having so many variations inside the track. He starts ambiental, with adding lots of tribal morning sounds, slowly sun starting to splash your face with endless, very long rhythmic show he is presenting by the end when it gets trancey even. Amazing, delicious ambiental trance work. Fantastic structure ! You did it again, Oliver ! He is truly one of the greatest pioneers of german trance culture and scene and he has my FULL respect, FOREVER. 10/10 for album for sure, for having so many innovative ideas for its time, 1994 we are speaking!

Dragonflier Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 I can only agree. 11 years old, and it still sounds amazing. One of Lieb's best works, and that says something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
