"The Giant Woods" is a classical electronica album filled with ambient calming sounds and hypnotizing drones.

The album is Maps and Diagrams', a well known persona's in electronic music circles, first release through Yuki Yaki Netlabel and it looks like the first one under a Creative Commons License as well.


It started out as a 4 track EP-isode and has finally grown into a fully-fledged album.
Maps And Diagrams' latest strike on classical electronica is also his first release on Yuki Yaki, which marks a little beatless respite after a number of more rhythmic outputs recently. Warmly droning ambient-textures with plenty of endless space echo, like in the good old days, dominate the album.

Melancholy, contemplation and calm prevail - nicely wrapped in mysteriously shining soundscapes with a kiss of lo-fi noise. "The Giant Woods" seems to be rather predestined for the dark Winter days to come.

    The Giant Woods is yet another ambient album that inspires such vivid imagery. Its sounds and drones perfectly paint the picture of what the album is intended to portray. Another aspect that makes this album so great is the huge lack of repetition. Even for a conceptual album, Maps And Diagrams use their sounds and instrumentation in a highly experimental way and very seldom get too repetitive or boring. The only reason you'd sleep on this album is because it calms you.

    Rating 9.5/10
