Zac Blair (aka the incredible DJ Jimmy Olsen) was so inspired by an older ambient nsu number, he made a video for it. Watch right through to the end – it’s not just a pretty swirly light-show. Massive thanks to Zac! (“Darkness” is available as a free download from here.

Darkness - NCMF004DD

…a more subdued and moody affair – “Darkness” is an unstructured and atmospheric piece of ambient music, built on synthesized strings, piano, ethereal pads and a music-box-like melody, portraying beauty in imperfection.

The XPNDR Rework, by John Woolfie of Lethal Sound Device, reconstructs the original as a minimal tech house number, that gets a bit of a thump going on.
