Another factor very much in this album’s favour is its unfussy mix. It was recorded and mixed quickly, and it conveys a sense of natural spontaneity, without the artificiality that so often hangs over some records where simpler would have been so much better.

Here, instruments move in and around the soundstage without any sense of force on tracks such as “Raíces al Viento” and “Las Lluvias”. The intelligent balance between the vigour of the studio’s reed organ and the delicacy of the plucked strings is splendidly achieved across a range of compositions.

What this album demonstrates so effectively is that ambient should not be a synonym for aimless or unfocused. There is subtlety, detail and variety in abundance across the twelve tracks on Chambers. The range might not be especially wide, but what is actually done is done exceptionally well.
