Solea Amphibia

Swedish event producer Lars-Marcus Jungnell synthesizes the "antidote to Ibiza," recapturing the kind of awe-inspiring, heady intensity that made the Ambient experience such an essential part of the neo-psychedelic '90s. His efforts evoke worthy comparison to the paragons of electronic mind music, echoing both the wobbly jams of Higher Intelligence Agency and the palatial soundworlds of the Orb. Adolescent hyperbole comes easily: exhilarating, peppermint cloudshapes blast out from every corner of the sky, refracting coronas of starlight into unknown colors, warming near the surface to zephyrs that kiss the opulent domes of an alien Xanadu.
