Arovane - Tides

Artist: Arovane
Track: Tides
Album: Tides (2000)

Arovane is the recording name of German electronic music artist Uwe Zahn. Arovane's sound can be characterized as ethereal, intellectually melodic, organic, warm and ambient yet technically involved with structured, often heavy, breakbeat and hip hop influenced beats. It is richly layered with synths and textured distortions and focuses more on generating a melancholy nostalgic feeling than four-on-the-floor dance beats. The tempos are midrange and Arovane has been labeled as IDM by many.

You can pick up Lillies (2004) from iTunes, or have a hoke about Boomkat for Tides (2000)
