Genre/Influences: IDM, electro-ambient.

Background/Info: I never stop to point out the impressive prolific work of German artist Sascha Lemon. Every single year he’s releasing multiple productions. “Tranquil Heights” features 9 new tracks.

Content: While the past few LPF12 productions revealed a progressive exploration of soundtrack paths, “Tranquil Heights” rapidly appears to be a move back to the more styled IDM approach. Sometimes you’ve to take a break with the music you’re dealing with to strike back with fresh and visionary ideas. That’s what I experienced at this work, which is revealing some of the best cuts Sascha Lemon has ever composed. On top of the work you’ll also notice a more wafting/ambient approach, which creates a perfect match with the IDM.

+ + + : “Tranquil Heights” is an elaborated production with a great progression in the tracklist. Merging IDM and ambient influences together has been perfectly accomplished. The main part of this album is absolutely sensational and I especially want to tip “Rainfall” and “Above And Beyond” as absolute attention grabbers. We here can discover some of the most beautiful and refined cuts of LPF12.

– – – : My only single regret about this work is the last part featuring more ambient-orientated songs. They create a sort of anti-climax after an astonishing debut.

Conclusion: If you don’t know LPF12 and you face its impressive discography, it will be hard to choose one album to listen to. I’ll give you a tip, take “Tranquil Heights” and you for sure have a great moment exploring intelligent electronic music.

Best songs: “Rainfall”, “Above And Beyond”, “The View”, “Upwards”.

Rate: (8).

I have been working for over 30 years with Side-line as the main reviewer. My taste is eclectic, uncoventional and I prefer to look for the pearls, even if the bands are completely unknown, thus staying loyal to the Side-Line philosophy of nurturing new talents.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
