DISCLAIMER: I am no expert on ambient music. However, I do consider my tastes eclectic and somewhat refined. Pretension irks me, especially when it comes to ambient and noise music. Onto my review.
My dear friend Gregor just emailed a link to download his, very long in the works, album. In short it is what I consider a perfect ambient album. In long (my definition of perfect is most likely different from yours) I will have to lay out some criteria:
1.) I could meditate to it
2.) I could program computers to it
3.) I would enjoy it playing in the background while I'm on a date
4.) Something pretentious can be said about it's sonic qualities and how it fills up space
Here's that pretentious comment:
The textures of BOP are complex yet simple, smooth yet thick. It's volume is pretty yet dirty, ambient yet rhythmic. The sound breathes. Every time I listen to it I hear something new. Emotionally BOP feels like walking through the jungle, swimming underwater and hanging out in a cave. I dig it the most!

Junior Ambassadors is that awesome little orange food cart on the grassy lot across the street from The Albina Press in North Portland. Best known for making outstanding ice cream in very bizarre flavors- my favorite is the Gingersnap & Basil or the Maple & Bacon. Don't let the unusual flavor combos scare you- they are all extremely delicious. How delicious? Well, delicious enough to win the best food cart award at the WW's Eat Mobile 2009 food cart festival a couple months ago.
Rudy, the madcap chef and purveyor of Jr. Ambassadors, asked me to put on a summer time show. Come sprawl out on the grassy hill and listen to some rad tunes and eat some delicious ice cream.

There are things in life that happen that really suck! Getting a car stolen is one of those things. There are really good people in the world and sometimes really bad things like this happen to really good people. This is one of those times. Jared Mees is an awesome person and Tender Loving Empire is an awesome company. Please forward and share this blog as much as possible to help recover Jared's van.
If you've seen the above van or something that looks like it could have once been this van (no license plate, etc...), please call 503.243.5859
