I finally got my hands on this highly anticipated release by proem.
from very first moments I could tell this one has the instant appeal
that I did not feel right away on "negative" and "burn plate no. 1".
comparing those to "among others" I can see where earlier work was at
times rough around the edges, getting carried away with dry
percussion manipulation.
I am trying to figure out why I like this album so much. first of
all, there is the atmosphere û particularly dark and mysterious,
filled with deep strings and mature melodies (this "dark idm" style
further defines profile of n5md as a label). percussion textures is
something that always has been proem's big advantage. here we have
the same intricate world of heavy shifting beats, delays, pauses,
irregularities and spontaneity, but at the same time it is all
tightly mixed with the melody, remaining incredibly varied. the album
never gets overly rough or broken, always staying "together", not
going off into haywire idm wizardry. this dedication to music as
opposed to sound-making is a sign of undeniable progress.
"among others" is a stream of music moving from cold cinematic
textures filled with occasional percussion stutter to more
traditional complex idm rhythms and atonal melodies. at times dreamy
and quiet, at times broken and heavy, even noisy; combining intricate
percussion non-linearity with soothing melancholic melodies, it
always manages to draw your attention and keep it as you play this
album again and again.
I have to say that I have not heard anything that balances darker
emotions and rhythmic heaviness in such a seamless way. this is the
best proem's album to date, and anyone that has been following the
progress of the band can confirm that.

Enjoy!
