ESE are a duo ( Stefano Contini and Piero Marchesi ) from Milan, Italy and this is their third release to date. The Databloem website lists their music as a mix between Furutre Sound Of London and The Orb. This is a very apt description, especially for their first two albums.
Their music gets better with each release and this album is no exception - their most thoughtful and accomplished work to date. It has a wonderful mix of differinent ambient genres but still expresses an overall mind bending ( entheogenic exploring ? ) theme throughout. There is nothing harsh or overly out of place here as you sometimes get with FSOL and The Orb. This is a very solid album from start to finish that you will find yourself playing on repeat again and again.
The guys are fairly active on their SoundCloud channel too - so check it out for their latest unreleased sounds.The SoundCloud Chanel also has a great live recording the guys did at FM X-Rated in Holland last year which you can play below.
