Neues Album für das Projekt von MARK NELSON, der sich immer mehr von seiner LABRADFORD-Vergangenheit löst und eine ganz eigene Form von Instrumenten-basierter Electronica-Ambience schafft...
„Mark Nelson, früher Labradford, hat es gefunden, so scheint es. Pan-American-Alben waren immer großartig, aber man spürte immer die Verbundenheit zu seiner alten Band, die Weite und Schwere der Songs. Das ist jetzt anders und es fühlt sich nach einem großen Schritt an. Nelson klingt elektronischer und denkt dabei immer noch akustisch, spielt seine dronigen Trümpfe anders aus, ist nicht mehr offensichtlich vom Berliner Dub beeinflusst, lässt das Knistern der Steine für Minuten im Track einfach stehen und betupft diese ungelenken Gebilde nur sehr zurückhaltend mit weichen Haltegurten. Die Sehnsucht nach Stille klang nie so aufregend. Ein großes Album.“ [Thaddi / DeBug]
“Following on from the magnificent 'Quiet City' album for Kranky (to this day one of the biggest selling titles on Boomkat), Mark Nelson finally returns with a new album under the Pan American moniker - and it's another triumph of sublime understatement. "For Waiting, For Chasing" is underpinned by delicately caressed and manipulated Flugelhorns, Tibetan Singing Bowls and Chinese Cymbals, processed, weaved and loved into a throbbing mass of neon loveliness. Opening `Love Song' unfolds with a gentle cacophony of whirrs - like crickets trapped in a jar - juxtaposed with the most ethereal layers of ambience tripping over each other to create a cloud of harmony; this is absolutely classic Pan American territory. Nelson never confines his music to simple ambience, moulding in noisier elements which work as a counterpoint to the warm tones of the Tibetan Singing Bowls and synthesized whisps - a conceit which manages to keep his work ever-contemporary when so many of his past peers have been stuck in an endless loop of repetition. A work of calming restraint, it's really impossible to fault this musician and his ability, with this album, to craft another perfectly-formed microcosm of bliss. Essential purchase....“ [Boomkat]
