Amen Orchestra - 17 Waves

Amen Orchestra is the brainchild of Russian producer Nizhny Novgorod. With "17 Waves" he has created one of the finest IDM records I've heard in recent years. Where Amen Orchestra stand out is Novgorod's choice in samples. The use of classical pieces blended with the breakbeats of old and delivered with an obvious competence and understanding of both classical music and modern electronic makes "17 Waves" one hell of a composition piece. It's also interesting to hear the way Nizhny doesn't get stuck in the concept behind the music to the point where the music just comes off as a dull exercise in experimentation. He's smart enough to blend his forward thinking ideas with a fair number of simple, dark atmospheres which allow the listener to engage with the music.
