Jeff Pearce's latest album reminded me of a strong ambient scene in the USA. Yes, the country possesses many intriguing musicians in the already mentioned genre. However, most of them end up becoming their own niches. I agree, a multitude of electronic musicians eventually achieve this, but American ambient players beat them all in this regard. For instance, Kevin Braheny sadly belongs here as well despite the fact his music needs to be heard more often thanks to some lessons he could teach many of his peers. You see, his tunes have a certain tension, because they feel so airy, most of his works are based on the synthesizers, yet he somehow gets to ground them, though he doesn't settle completely on either of them.
