The Sounds Of Seasons Changing

“The Pop Ambient series, launched by the Cologne label Kompakt in 2001, is an annual compilation of lush ambient textures, packaged in a pastel-tinted case featuring photos of flowers in full bloom. Several of the tracks on Pop Ambient 2016 suggest nature and the changing of the seasons. In general, the series showcases the gentler, more melodic side of ambient electronic music, with nothing too dark or jarring. There are few beats, if any, and no vocals. Think of it as a hazy soundtrack for falling asleep and dreaming, or as mellow instrumental music to play during a dinner party, or as a calming balm to get through a difficult work day. But there’s richly varied and sometimes revelatory music on here, crafted by a high-profile raft of contributors.”
