Established in 1998 by Wolfgang Voigt, Michael Mayer and Jürgen Paape, the Kompakt label has since managed to become synonymous with an entire subgenre of electronic music: the German minimalistic techno sound, championed by its owners and a plethora of associated artists, most of them hailing from Kompakt's home-town Cologne.

Kompakt traditionally starts its yearly release schedule with a new volume of 'Pop Ambient', and this year it is up to two of the label's main protagonists to kick off the series' 12th instalment. Wolfgang Voigt and Jörg Burg introduce their new joint project Mohn with the album's noise-padded opener, 'Manifesto'.
Superpitcher follows this up with his welcome debut appearance on the series, the simplistic, yet addictive synth-piano étude 'Jackson'. Morek, Magazin and Triola head off into sprawling symphonic territory, before Wolfgang Voigt returns to change the album's mood.
His 'Rückverzauberung 5' is certainly among the volume's highlights, a distinctive neo-classical piece of perpetually cascading plucked strings and bells, underpinned by dissonant string crescendos.
Voigt's abstractionism is countered by Bvdub's washed-out chords, while Marsen Jules introduces jazz as a frame of reference. Simon Scott's stoic 'For Martha' finally sets the scene for the album's closing track, the guitar-led 'Riding The Bikes' by Loops Of Your Heart a.k.a. The Field's Axel Willner. Again a remarkable collection.
