Out Of The Blur vinyl

Eric Hilton's reputation in the field of downtempo electronic music is second-to-none. Or few. Taking a logical step into the musical haze here, Out of the Blur is his first album of ambient music, and lands on Emerald Wave, a relatively new imprint focused on sounds suitable for healing sessions and other life affirming, non-narcotic pursuits. "What you leave out in ambient music is as important as what you include," the producer has apparently said of his latest. "I don't have a background making ambient music, this is definitely a different kind of record for me. Ambient music is inherently ambiguous, transporting you to a place that isn't really well defined. But I think it's the absence of answers, that formlessness, that makes this kind of music so emotionally impactful." Let's leave it at that.
