Ambient music is a Musical genre in which sound is more important than notes With Land Greinke's goal "was to push this layering technique using a four piece band, although texture continues to be a focus. "^[2] Chris Nickson, in his All Music Guide review, describes LAND, in part, as ". allmusic (previously All Music Guide) is a Metadata database about music owned by All Media Guide. . . an album that teases, tickles, grates, and always satisfies in its ambition and performance. " and adds that Land ". . . create an organic -- if often electronic -- whole. The textures shift like waves, sometimes quietly, sometimes evoking specific places, such as the bamboo tones of China, on "Shu. " "Ku" becomes disquieting with its discordance, but overall this is quite a subdued record. "^[3]
