As part of our ongoing mission to bring you the best new ambient/electronic music from around the globe, AtmoWorks is embarking on a program of digital distribution with new and established artists who have released CDs either on their own or through another label. By doing so, we hope to play some small part in driving additional listeners towards these very deserving artists, the first of which we're thrilled to have on board.

Testphasen negativ (aka Ralf Rabendorn) has already made a name for himself in the ambient music arena with earlier releases "How I Won the War" and "Burn, Giant Burn!". With his new release, "Hostia" Ralf has delivered a lyrical lesson on the human psyche, though one he insists each listener must learn for themselves.

"I rarely write about my own music. If I give a certain direction, then people will always have this direction in their head. Each individual has made [their] own experiences, therefore the impact of the sounds and songs to each individual is different."

We're thrilled to welcome Testphasen negativ to the AtmoVerse, and look forward to many more releases to come!
