'Chimet' is an exercise in patience, as well as variety of stripped-down ambient production methods. The album is like a collage of all that one could utilise in order to create ambient music, from stringy industrial field recordings, through sombre solo piano, to wholly artificial soundscapes. That said, as a standalone album, 'Chimet' rarely captures anything grander than its concept and eventually devolves into drawn out and stubbornly lacklustre. I understand the irony of being impatient with an ambient album, but with 'Chimet' that uneventfulness almost seemed mockingly intentional.
