Ornaments releases some beautiful music, most of it deep, some of it dub, and some of it ambient, or downtempo, or with a generally chill sort of vibe. 2 Jahre Dazwischen<\/a> contains just about all of above \u2014 an EP of pianos, synths, sometimes with percussion underlying them and sometimes not. <\/p>\n The A side is just one track \u2014 the nodding but melancholic \u201cVerloren,\u201d followed by a remix from Rajko M\u00fcller aka Isol\u00e9e. Exceptionally well produced, \u201cVerloren\u201d (\u201cLost\u201d \u2014 and props for not Anglicizing this from German, as while it\u2019s not exactly an endangered language we should all make electronic music unapologetically from our own reality, which means our own tongue) soars and dives through twinkling keys and dense sine waves. Isol\u00e9e adds a kinetic energy while preserving \u201cVerloren\u2019s\u201d sense of the dramatic. <\/p>\n There are four tracks on the B-side, drawing a sometimes desolate but persuasively immersive landscape. Drums sometimes emerge from the arms of clouds, adding something like a heartbeat, as in \u201cZum Gl\u00fcck,\u201d before succumbing to the waves. Gorgeous. <\/p>\n
