I'll admit that I first discovered this artist on the n5MD's One Five Zero compilation. Getting the entire album was a smart move! This carefully produced instrumental electronic album, accompanied by detailed beats and perfectly measured bass, with sweeps of transforming pads, cycling dynamics of piano, and occasional field recordings of distant voices, deliver all jonesing aspects of Electronica (is that still a genre?), placing Tim Arndt, along the likes of Gridlock, Helios, Yasume, and Seven Ark. This San Francisco artist skillfully applies the formula that can never get too old for me. Just when I thought the world was drifting away from the overused elements, an album like this falls in my lap and stirs up all the good memories. For a free ride, check out Arndt's contribution towards Sutemos on Intelligent Toys Vol 4.

Style: IDM, Ambient

RIYL: Arovane, Yasume

I came across Near The Parenthesis via the Intelligent Toys release and then bought the albums and One Five Zero compilation.

Every piece is beautifully assembled and the result is a joy to listen to. Love it.
