20 for 2025 – Deeper Than Space: Animal Ghosts

The latest offering from Adam Douglas—a foundational architect of Silent Records’ 1990s ambient scene under his enduring Deeper Than Space moniker—emerges as more than a retrospective. It refracts that decade’s vast, drifting soundscapes through a contemporary perspective, transforming familiar echoes into something freshly luminous. Enigmatic and immersive, the work dissolves boundaries between composed music and pure sonic phenomenon, becoming a meditation on vibration, feeling, and space. Exquisitely detailed and hauntingly fluid, this collection signals both a resonant homecoming and a subtle evolution, charting Douglas’s continued journey into the profound quietude where art resides.

Douglas’ ability to mix the vast, wide-open space of sonic ambience, punctuated with sometimes startling stabs of interruption, all the while making it a cohesive body of work, is something that even the greatest producers struggle with. This artist has seemingly cracked the code.
