"Maybe you've stumbled on to Microstoria, as I did, through Mouse on Mars and Oval, who make up the two parts of this quiet emotional little outfit.
I had a friend who loved Oval, and I loved Mouse on Mars, and one day we were looking around and discovered Microstoria's first album, Init Ding, and thought to ourselves when we got home and listened to it: Oh my.
This is not regular ambient music. This is so warm, so organic, it is like hearing nature unfold. It is full of deep earthy melodies that grow and pollinate in natural ways.
Of their albums, this one is maybe the best. A completist would obviously want to own them all, for in each one lies subtleties not found on the other albums.
But for your Amazon dollar, this one is surely their greatest achievement. The song titles, the album art, everything fell into place."
Wonderful
