The music of Stendec seperates itself from much Idm by virtue of its delicate attention to detail and padded melodic warmth. At times reminiscent of Isan, at others floating out there on their own, Stendec manage to avoid dry electronic cliches by virtue of an innate understanding of emotive recording and listening processes designed for self reflection. Its an excellent collection of pieces veering from planitarium soundtracks to the notes that would be made by the distant haze on an arid spanish road in high summer. Cargo. 2005.
