Pete Warren's debut album Ambient Electronica 94–06 has been getting positive reviews and is starting to get airplay on radio shows around the world, including Rob da Bank's BBC Radio 1 show. It features the collected highlights of Pete’s late-night atmospheric electronica, recorded over the last 12 years. Ambient, melodic and beat-driven soundtracks from the small hours.
"A superbly understated album, which rises above many of its contemporaries without knowing it." - Recommended on the home page of Electronica Monthly and featured on the August 2007 podcast.
"Twelve years is a long time for any genre and challenging to be inventive and creative within that genre, but Warren does more than his share of keeping the genre going. Warren gives us a... mature and spot on take on ambient electronica... an atmospheric aural journey." - Read the review at Properly Chilled
"Recorded over the course of the last twelve years, Pete Warren debut is a nice ambient album... Soft and warm glowing textures abound in this electronica debut from UK upstart Pete Warren." - Read the review at Smother
"...the unmistakable presence of a mind thinking outside the square." - Read the review at Cyclic Defrost
"Pete Warren's debut collection is definitely decent enough to reward one's attention." - Read the review at Textura
"A whole album of Ambient Electronica but one that's different and interesting... musical and easy to love." - Future Music magazine, issue 190 August 2007, page 111, UK edition
"A nostalgic warmth pervades Pete Warren's debut album 'Ambient Electronica 94-06'. Warren manages to plot the genre succinctly, yet gives it a fresh perspective which ignites the spirit of yesteryears. The textural aural landscapes of the album reflect Warren's musical experimentation and progression; documenting time, environment and emotion - from melancholic melodies, to revelatory ethereal ambience to gritty glitchy beats that induce that sacred zone." - Paul Finn
"This album is excellent... Rich and delicate sounds." - 5 star customer review on iTunes UK
More about Pete Warren
Inspired by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop at an early age, Pete Warren started out experimenting with effects units, tape recorders, 8-bit computer noises, intercoms, an electric guitar and a basic synthesizer, producing noisy lo-fi experimental industrial music. An offshoot of this gritty sound evolved into the warm, atmospheric and melodic electronica of his debut release.
His music has been played on Rob da Bank's BBC Radio 1 show and was the soundtrack to the Typo Berlin 2007 conference. Since then he has signed a publishing deal with Fabric and is currently busy writing material for two separate albums slated for 2009.
Pete Warren has made his living as a composer for television, typographer, graphic designer, interactive designer and sound designer.
