  1. Ranked No. 2 in Ambient

    A wordless vocal loop over a soft breakbeat, made by a teenager on home-built equipment. Ambient music discovering it could have a pulse without losing its stillness.

  2. Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred

    A wordless vocal over a break that has been degraded until it sounds remembered rather than played. Ambient's most-loved record by someone who denies making ambient.
