Although only one of Brokenkites' four albums on Amie Street is technically a soundtrack, nearly all of his tracks suggest vivid imagery and dark, sweeping cinematography. But like the best soundtracks, this music can stand on its own -- perfect for headphones and a long walk.

A nice introduction to Brokenkites would be the short clip "Placerqatsi (Life in Placer County)", an independent video made by the GBTimelapse team:

The track used is Into The Light , off the album Brokenkites released earlier this year,

. But it's his latest release, , that has been getting recent attention on Amie Street and elsewhere:

The truth is never far behind the past, it's all here in the midst of a concerted effort to remember. I sometimes have the freedom to consider the sounds made by a klystron resonating in orbit around us, to desire the ability to ride alongside and feel the throbs of its inner burnings. Brokenkites, in this hour of intense meditation, has brought to the surface some of these depths. The joy is the fact that there is no longer a pain related to the things left forgotten. No regrets have disintegrated in measures of belief and understandings of this belief. All these moments are both present past future and beyond in a single chord repeated and explored in conjunction with doublestringed chords and thoughts. Shoutouts for Epiphora & Escape Velocity . Special shoutout for the neoprototype Prelude . [eartaste]

So if you're a fan of ambient electro, or just want some new, intelligent, chilled-out music, don't pass this one up.
