While ambient may always seem technological, futuristic, and devoid of organic sound, Jeff Greinke flips that idea on it's head on Timbral Planes. While the focus is on floating synth lines which create layers of atmosphere and beautiful fields of sound these mechanical sounds are contrasted with the use of hand percussion. Tribal sounding percussion instruments and ambient electronics are not two things that come to mind when describing the same record. Greinke however, integrates the two very well. This one is a little rarer but still not an expensive lp. Give it a few quality listens.
