Excerpt: “Hidden Shoal continues to impress… Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder is the duo’s third LP, in which they shed the Bristol trip-hop influence, and move towards a cinematic territory… The instrumental ambience of the album is lavishing, gorgeous, and inexplicably German… And the melodies… Ah, the melodies. The track ‘Der Groove Des Guten Gewissens’, with its dramatic strings and high octave piano notes, is a true cinematic experience - turn that up and walk around the city in the rain, and let me know if your eyes don’t swell up with tears.”

Headphone Commute

Excerpt: “there are certain times when the simplest sounds and the most seemingly innocently crafted rhythms comprise something so rich and so vibrant that we can’t help but take notice of the inherently beautiful proximity. With Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder, the second album by Germany’s Sankt Otten, audiences have a record that captures a moment in time – an orchestrated landscape that is entirely one with nature and transcends the limits of monotonous ambience… With this release, Sankt Otten has surely made a statement… fusing together complex musical genres and making the product sound so simple, and yet so beautiful.”

The Silent Ballet 

Excerpt: “That’s what you call globalisation: two Germans on an Australian label! … in an amazing fashion they manage to conjure up tender ambient electronics and delicate jewels from their machines.  They also admit gentle guitars and even a doublebass into the magic.  So there is something to be said for that globalisation after all, isn’t there?”

Westzeit

Excerpt: “Instruments are intelligently chosen, allowing individual textures to melt together and interact effortlessly. The combination of acoustic and electronic percussion works a treat, forming rigid rhythms for the listener to cling onto whilst the instrumental, free-flowing ambience creates an array of delicate harmonies over the top... Wunden Gibt Es Immer Wieder is powerful emotional engrossment, consistently conveying an intense, melancholic honesty throughout its playing time.”
