Here, calm ambient somehow accommodates both atmospheric phenomena which are commonly expected and more subtle matters. You are going to meet traces of drone, echoes of techno and ambiguous acid effects. Rarely it is the case when such different elements are placed so neatly and coordinated. That leaves a pretty rich aftertaste.
