SONG OF THE DAY: Marsen Jules - La Digitale Pourpre (2006)


Marsen Jules brings neo-classical music into an ambient context, executed with a certain beauty that has consistently made him a stand out on the Kompakt "Pop Ambient" series of compilations.  The electronic artist and composer made his mark with 2005's "Herbstlaub", a minimal ambient album that demonstrated his ability at crafting eloquent, droning pieces.  "Les Fleurs" followed in 2006, with a similar feel accentuated by an overall more organic palette; the sounds here are so lush and three-dimensional that one cannot help but be swept away into the private worlds that Marsen Jules has created for us.  "La Digitale Pourpre" is a gorgeous track that exceedingly summons such a vision.
