Album Notes & Community Reviews
The German ensemble Between crafts a deeply meditative and cross-cultural listening experience on 'Contemplation'. Utilizing acoustic drones, global instrumentation, and slow-building South Asian melodic structures, the project operates outside typical Krautrock parameters. It is recognized as an important, boundary-pushing precursor to ambient and new age music.
