***Kompakt's highly-anticipated fan-favorite series Pop Ambient returns for 2010, celebrating a whole decade of annual bliss. Pop Ambient was conceived by Kompakt co-owner and producer WOLFGANG VOIGT (aka GAS, BURGER/INK, etc.), and remains a collection selected and curated by Voigt himself. Pop Ambient remains an ambitious entity of Kompakt that certainly draws influence from his legendary Gas recordings of the late '90s—the musical context often characterizes densely-layered ambient soundscapes that are not concerned with beats, percussion or bass lines. Includes tracks from MARSEN JULES, BORKC BAN WEY/BVDUB, JORG BURGER (aka TRIOLA), ANDREW THOMAS, THE ORB, MIKKEL METAL, DJ KOZE, JURGEN PAAPE, DETTINGER, THOMAS FEHLMANN (The Orb), POPNONAME, and Voigt himself.
