if you dont mind something a bit darker and a bit more beat-oriented, trentemoller's first lp is also very atmospheric

Same, this is where he lost his jazzy flavour and went a little too generic for me.

Cinematic? I don't really understand what you mean. And I did mega like him, but only his earlier stuff.

Honestly I usually appreciate this guy’s work more than I ‘feel it’ I guess, but the new one is starting off very strongly indeed. Highly optimistic it’ll stick at this stage.
Black Sands is v good though

Hmmmm ok, I get what you mean perhaps but I don't agree. I do think there are many more artists going for that particular beat driven style, while his jazzier style was more unique I think. In that sense his later albums are more generic.
I do not have a problem with cinematic sounding stuff at all, quite the opposite. I mean, The Cinematic Orchestra shows beautifully how that heavily jazz influenced style can be super cinematic yet super soulful. And there's early trip hop (Portishead of course! also Massive. Archive) that's super cinematic and super heartfelt and genuine too. It's more that something is missing for me from his post Days to Come stuff, and I find those albums more boring, bland, and indeed a bit generic. I don't know how to explain it in a different way. I'll think about it some more.

‘Yes, the dance sound he's moved towards is saturated, for sure, but I think the same could be said about that world-y, jazzy trip-hop sound from the '90s and early 2000s where he got his foothold‘
Fair point here, to be honest you could definitely make legitimate arguments that either sub-genre has often descended into well-trodden ‘generic’ tropes. And I do think what you’re saying about preference sometimes rings true. We are all biased by default after all, it’s impossible not to be.

I prefer migration, think it has more peaks, but the new one is great. the features all work for me, and particularly enjoying elysian and counterpart
