Ambient Sunday IDM with: Analog Devices – Future Ambient

Ambient Sunday is having a bit of an IDM moment with Analog Devices.

Analog Devices is from Belgium and here’s Future Ambient from the album Asylum 303. This is down as being released last month but looks as though it may in fact date to back in 2017.

Whatever the case, Future Ambient is a lovely dark ambient tune. This has a beautifully menacing bass synth lurking around lighter melodies and a wheezy percussion.

This manages to be both terribly retro and pleasingly current. There’s a light early Depeche Mode feel about some of the synth work. And that’s a plus for me.

The track ripples around carelessly. There are tubular bells. Not a sound used enough these days I feel. Music for dungeons where the torture is nothing more than a slap on the wrist.

This is great stuff. A lovely IDM escape into sound.
