Kompakt Pop Ambient: Deep Cuts

Kompakt may be techno to the core, but their Pop Ambient compilations are a reminder that the German label has a deep, abiding fascination for ambient music, too. Putting out avant-garde cuts from Tim Hecker and Donnacha Costello, as well as beatless tracks from Kompakt regulars like Ulf Lohmann and GAS, the series is a reliable source for heady, low-key fare.
