[Podcast] Ultima Thule #901

Ultima Thule #901 by Ultima Thule Ambient Music on Mixcloud

Part of my daily e-mail ritual consists of sorting through scores of podcasts I want to spend the day (or evening) listen to. This particular one is a real treat, as the music is deep ambient music, perfect for working late nights. If you enjoy the work of people like Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Vidna Obmana or Alio Die, among others, Ultima Thule will make for rewarding listening!

[Video] When – Death In The Blue Lake

Lars Pedersen (When) is a Norwegian post-Industrial/Avant-Progressive/Proto-Black Ambient composer whose work never really got its fair due. I actually came across his work in several progressive rock magazines, as well as the seminal experimental publication ‘Music From The Empty Quarter’ (RIP), who didn’t quite know what to make of his work. If he is still active and making music, I’m sure he’s taking advantage of the upgrades in technology. The raw material he had to work with was bleak, unnerving, and quite amazing.
