Don't know all of these (need to investigate Fenn O'Berg), but probably Venice of what I do know.

that seven stars 10" sounds like fennesz doing easy listening, i love it. he is the trv kvlt digital sound bob moss

or mark rothko calling up energy states from a database of euro history and pop music trivia

"Field Recordings" is his most consistent album, although "Live In Japan" probably captures the essence of Fennesz a little better.

I've only heard about half of these though.

the sweetest database

'Field Recordings' for me, there's nothing else like it.

Endless Summer was my window into ambient so that. Never heard the Field Recordings album. **Listening**

I've been wanting to hear that live Japan recording for years, almost a decade now, but never see it in any record stores. May have to breakdown and order it online.

I've only heard about half of these though.

Same for me. I think I listen to Endless Summer the most, although there are one or two weak tracks. I quite like Black Sea and Venice too. I remember really liking Return of Fenn o'Berg so I don't know why I haven't listened in years. I don't think I've heard Cloud! That's an exciting lineup.

discovered him through venice, must have listened to it every day for months. would like to hear that knoxville record.

4 weeks till poll closes, hmm maybe i'll throw in my 2c. bought endless summer and venice, really tried for a long time to get into them without much success. field recordings sounded pretty good last night though, especially the driving beat in instrument #1.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Venice for me - the Sylvian track fits so oddly with the rest but gives it this whole old Europe tonality. Perfect album to cross the Bosphorus to.

I never managed to get into Black Sea, which always bored the hell out of me. Seven Stars is a winner though.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Good winner.

urrrnhghh

glad I cast my last minute vote for Venice!

New one out soon/now with the great Martin Brandlmayer and Werner Dafeldecker

Oh no whoops, it's a new pressing of an old record. Anyone heard it? Brandlmayer and Dafeldecker were both involved in one of my favourite projects of the 00's, Autistic Daughters w/ Dean Roberts.

Black Sea only received one vote? Huh. I couldn't listen to it every day, but it is some of the most stunning headphone music on which I've ever laid ears... rewards patience and attentive listening.

Thank you for the link crackle box!

in stereo is poorly rated, but it's one of the most unified-sounding 'collabs' of the fenn o'berg stuff.

been listening to it the last couple days.. first track (30+ minute collaboration) is real nice, roomy. the subsequent three tracks are each individual efforts and tie in nicely w/the general theme. sort of melancholy western (romance) music. affecting stuff.

everybody should hear Brandlmayer and Siewert's 'too beutiful to burn'. incredible stuff.
