Augenblicke by Guenter Schlienz
Hot on the heels of Sacred Phrases' re-press of 2014's ambient classic 'Treehut Visions,' Guenter Schlienz is back with a new cassette of sublimely sprawling sounds. 'Augenblicke' continues the Stuttgart, Germany-based producer's run of astral-minded naval-gazing with four new tracks of impossible serenity. Opening track "Blue Sky" paints a perfectly bucolic picture of the German countryside, accompanied by a barely noticeable breeze and consumed by boundless, naturalistic beauty. B-side opener "Treetops" coasts on an elevated plane of floating effervescence, taking in an aural panorama that pours well beyond comprehension. "The World Is Full of Noises" serves as a perfectly incidental miniature, surveying a series of field recordings and playing out like a charmed audio travelogue. Closing track "Wind on Water" succinctly returns to the pleasantly disembodied celestial realms, closing out 'Augenblicke' in a calmed, transcendental state.
