Moonilena is not a limited Polly Pocket edition, but the pseudonym under which Stockholm-based musician Marlena Salonen has released one of the best ambient albums of the last six months. “Minnet” is heavy fare; beatless music that still throbs in the pit of your stomach. The highlight, “Dem Bor Under Taket”, bows to Basinski’s ground-zero magnum opus, embedded here in something smaller, more homely – and that’s exactly what gives this album its (pulling) power.
