The Listening Room is a totally satisfying ambient album that is not only aesthetically very appealing, it also has a welcome ability to bring calm to a busy mind. Whatever the circumstances in which this album is listened to it’s always soothing and draws the attention. It’s one of the best ambient albums to come my way this year, indeed, sonically and artistically it’s the kind of music I’ve been waiting a long time to find - no music is ever perfect, but The Listening Room isn’t far off! Highly recommended.

As pure, unadulterated ambient music, Leimer’s new disc, The Listening Room, acquits itself admirably, a plaintive, resonant balance of questing tones and beauteous drones that is a cousin in many respects to Steve Roach’s Quiet Music. Both recordings drink deep of spartan, contemplative moods, and both successfully invoke remembrance, yearning, reflection and melancholy – warm, lovely, the sensibilities on display here resolve themselves in a studied, even ‘classical’ manner.
