3 stars The main difference between the Berlin electronic school and its later USA/Bay Area counterpart relies on its conceptual approach. Some kind of machine vs man corresponding to the Berlinīs school its mechanical side & the Bay Area the human one (in a manner of speaking of course). From this USA offspring non-classical electronic music flourished into different stylings like New Age, Nuevas Musicas, Sacred Music, Ambient etc.

Igor Lenīs HERE, 1989, is inclined towards the Bay Area concept. A 6 track project which slowly builds some dreamy and well crafted atmospheres on each track and the same displays some enticing and quiet unique Sacred Music like chorals & Berlinīs school electronic pulse like passages.

Being my first encounter with his music, if anything, it shows an electronic musician with enough tools to deliver some very inspired moments which as such show a very promising future and strongly hints what could turn out to be his own possible musical idiom and maybe also in the future a bit less of his favored influences (which of course include Mr. Eno).

The album evolutes through each track towards more personal and creative compositions, so I can say that it grows from good to very good, therefore the best tracks are precisely its last two and of these the last is this albumīs jewel.

Worth to check it out but it is up to you to keep it or forget.

As for me, it makes me wonder how Igor Len sounds today and probably look for it. But in the meantime this one gets ***3.5 PA stars.
