  Gaussian Curve - The Distance [MFM018 NLD 2017 24-Bit FLAC] As promised a few weeks back, here is the second album by pan-European instrumentalists, Gaussian Curve. Again recorded live in Amsterdam over three sessions, this record feels more wholesome with gentle guitar melodies overlaying piano, tinkering synths and simple percussion.  Like the first, it is beautifully packages and pressed with care onto heavy vinyl by quality Dutch label Music From Memory ...who deserve much more attention from the record buying public. This is clever & creative ambient music which oozes from the vinyl into your speakers. The detail both in the music and the quality of pressing make ripping the label's music a pleasure.

  Gaussian Curve - Clouds [MFM 004 NLD 2014 24-Bit FLAC] Gorgeous ambiance and mellow melodies from Gaussian Curve. Clouds is their first album, recorded live in the Amsterdam red light district over three nights in March 2014. This album fills the air around you using space and drifting sonics - gentle guitar, simple percussion and delicate synths.  I first posted a digital version on my other blog a while back, the vinyl version adds much more depth and warmer bass notes. You can immerse yourself in this music, there is a live presence here, without the chitter-chatter. I have their follow-up album (it is better imho), and will consider a rip if demand is there and time permits. A1  Talk To The Church A2  Impossible Island A3  Dewdrops A4  Ride B1  Broken Clouds B2  Unsolved B3  The Longest Road B4  Red Light
