Excerpt: “German-born Mehr is an ambient architect not afraid to spell out both his ideas and his visualizations onto a larger-scale than most ambient artists of a similar field… this track deserves far more than just financial credit, it deserves some vocal credit too. ‘Komo’, spanning a total of 26-minutes is a slow-burner etheral admiration of both progression and placement. Slowly creeping up from the silent confines of its initial build-up, the track unveils itself – a sweeping of droned violins and string arrangements alike sweep across in a repetition that is both soothing yet intriguingly unsettling. The source of this discomfort soon manifests in what begins as a bubbling of electric fuzz, buzzing and sizzling its way through the thinning of instrumentation that itself begins to collapse, break away…only to resurrect itself. But it’s the electronics that take over here – the creepier vibes felt previous, now in full swing as the shock-like buzzes intensify into monstrous raws of electronic muster. A track – and an artist – not for the faint-hearted…”
