Go to the Steinbrüchel website  Steinbrüchel - Stage [Line - 2006]

Stage is Steinbrüchel's second full-length solo release on LINE, the more ambient/ drone side label of electronica label 12k.Original conceived as a soundtrack for an interactive dance performance. Stage offers up ten tracks or scenes  of slow moving, droning sound pictures and tones,that hover in slowly forming beauty to chilling gloom.

Taking in just over a hours running time, Like the best ambient drone music you can either let in dwell in the background or concentrate  on the slowly evolving  and unfolding tones, that gentle coax your emotions in different ways. Scene one opens the album up with growing feel of past midnight dread. Like the slow shifting of gravel out side ones bedroom window,wondering what could be out there hold it’s breath staring up at your window. The tones grow shadows and depth of doubt , an chilling excise in minimal creepiness.  Scene six finds us sitting in the growing first light of a spring dawn- slowly drones open up their melodic wings, take off and hovering  in lazy manner. As the rich warm undercurrents loop on them self’s almost making one dizzy, before more recognised guitar tones appear crisp and delicate in the audio air.

Another very rewarding release from 12k. Perfect to inspire and chill your mind with it slow moving  and rich drone world.To buy direct,samples etc go to here.
