"kalte sterne" (cold stars) is the third and final CDR in the series of "doombient" albums which came into being in 2003 and 2006 respectively. Unlike its predecessors, "kalte sterne" is by far the most peaceful and tranquil album of the set. It was recorded live in concert at Bochum Planetarium in February 2007 and it is also the most pleasing album, technically speaking, as the number of flaws and glitches is rather small by comparison. The entire album was later given an exquisite API preamp/EQ/compressor treatment by a friend of mine in order to make the sound really gorgeous, and in fact it sounds as wonderful as the visuals looked that accompanied the concert. Like the previous "doombient" albums, "kalte sterne" will be available in a limited production run of 100 CDRs in custom tin can packing, each copy is individually numbered and its serial number is printed onto the CD and embossed into the can. Price per CD is 15 Euros. "doombient.three" can be ordered both through the doombient webshop as well as through me directly.

Anyway, I thought you might like to read this review from Canada:
"Sounds! Heavy sounds that are entangling in a vastness imaginary. Oscillations, sound modulations and heavy reverberations which waltz in a poetic sound mass. All anti harmonies elements which unite to create a magnificent sound spatial landscape of which few artists manage to recreate. In this domain, there is the magnificent Michael Stearns?s Chronos. There are also Stephen Parsick's works, SETI, and Steve Roach. Powerful atmospheric works to which it is necessary to add this last Ramp opus; Doombient Three-Kalte Sterne.
An intense work which starts with heavy resonant reverberations on the opening of Before Big Bang. Recorded in concert at the Bochum Planetarium, on February 24th 2007, Doombient. Three - Kalte Sterne is by far the heaviest and quietest album of the Doombient series. Drawing in the depth of their imagination, Makowski/Parsick duet portrays a musical work of art recreating the formation of the universe. Before Big Bang is a morphic ode from where escapes heavy sound sediments, reproducing the perfect musical illusion of a slow and tedious conception. Synthesized streaks coat the creation which never stops giving birth in a heavy nothingness of buzzing refractions. A slow conception which couples to powerful Pillars of Creation and its magnificent synthesized surges, from which the dying waltzes rerelease the abyssal pains of sublime Chronos from Michael Stearns, which is to me the best reference on cosmic ambient music with great elements of dronings.
Fine arpeggios sparkle there, reminding the cosmic universe of Vangelis, on of enormous unctuous stratas from where getaway intense hummings, but of wild sweetness. A little as if the creation of the whole solar system became control. By far, one of the beautiful music piece from Ramp repertory and the dark ambient music in generally. Quantum Surge is as also heavy as the opening track, but with more nuances. An atonal title with an oblong evolution where brief translucent raids, with hardly perceptible choirs, are piercing through the static opaqueness which unroll until the limits of the morphic Triumph of Entropy and its sound emanations ? la Blade Runner, as well as Questions Unanswered who gets up of oblivion, marrying a somber strength equal to Before Big Bang, with hoarse and booming breaths while embracing the sweet agony of Pillars of Creation.
Doombient. Three - Kalte Sterne is a true ambient album. A heavy album, stuffed with sound subtleties which gives it a musical dimension as dark as poetic. A beautiful album which fill ears and which transports us as far as the imagination can allow. A must for fans of heavy ambient, dark, black but all the same emotive."
