Finally, Croatian mastermind Petar Dundov’s third album and first full-length release since 2008 appears three years after his amazing 'Escapements' album, a spectacular debut which classifies as a real landmark release for Dundov, a character to be firmly established in the techno world and major figure in the Croatian dance music scene. 'Ideas From The Pond' therefore sees him masterfully mixing ingredients from different styles like Ambient, Techno, IDM, psychedelic House and a variety of (complex) cosmic sounds, extremely melodic and spaced out. Almost 80 minutes of epic and profoundly atmospheric compositions, partly clashing into dreamy/lazy mid-tempo beats - offering a special kind of sentimental, hypnotic playfulness. Beautiful layers of techno and galactic synthesizers, mesmerizing rhythms and shimmering melodies with an understated strength, citing old Kraftwerk, Tangerine Dream and stackful of 90s trance. A harmonious blend, breathtaking and highly recommended!
