Review by Joyce Keeman

Album Review: Greenland Mantra by Microfeel Released in 2012 under the Randomika label, Greenland Mantra by Spanish electronic artist Microfeel is a fascinating exploration of soundscapes that blend electro, downtempo, IDM, and ambient styles. It's not your typical electronic album; instead, it feels like an auditory journey through icy landscapes, warm synth pads, and intricate beats that challenge the listener’s expectations. The title track, “Greenland Mantra,” stands out for its hypnotic rhythm and layered textures. The piece builds slowly, almost meditatively, pulling you into its world with soft arpeggios and subtle basslines. What makes this track memorable isn’t just its technical precision but also how it evokes imagery—listening to it feels like standing on a glacier at dawn, where silence meets the occasional crackle of shifting ice. It’s one of those tracks that stays with you long after the headphones come off, kinda like a mantra looping in your mind (pun intended). Another standout is “Submerged Echoes” (if I recall correctly). This one leans more toward the downtempo side, with lush pads and glitchy details sprinkled throughout. There’s something about the way Microfeel manipulates space here—it’s as if every sound has room to breathe, yet nothing feels sparse. The track invites introspection, making it perfect for late-night listening when the world outside goes quiet. You can almost picture yourself floating underwater, surrounded by muffled echoes and dim light filtering from above. What sets Greenland Mantra apart is its balance between complexity and accessibility. While some moments might appeal primarily to fans of IDM or ambient music, others are surprisingly approachable even for casual listeners. Microfeel manages to weave together genres without losing coherence, which is no small feat. Reflecting on the album, it’s interesting how it captures both warmth and coldness simultaneously—a paradoxical vibe that mirrors Greenland itself. But here’s the kicker: despite being nearly a decade old, the album doesn’t feel dated. If anything, it could easily pass as a contemporary release today. Maybe that’s because good electronic music transcends time, or maybe Microfeel was simply ahead of the curve. Either way, Greenland Mantra deserves a spot in any serious electronica lover’s collection. So go ahead, give it a spin—you might find yourself lost in its frosty grooves.
