Lackluster – “Portal Ep” – [Cornwarning]

Esa Juhani Ruoho, a Finnish ambient electronic artist. This is a release of earlier works 2003-2005. It’s slow moody ambient, a tad snooze inducing at times, uplifting at others but definitely lulling and mellow. Neither inspiring nor repelling, just mild and pleasant ambiance. I prefer the more upbeat tracks, the rest are just a tad too minimal for me. It’s enjoyable but you *will* be tempted to turn it up because it is so quiet.
