Within time, René Van Der Wouden succeeds to create his own sound universe. A world of EM where Berlin School goes alongside the charming elements of a French EM groundworked by pioneers such as Space Art, Jean Michel Jarre, Frédéric Mercier and Thierry Fervant. Synths to romantic, nostalgic and solitary tints which sing towards a nostalgic mist so faithful French repertory cinema. Sequential Tourism is the ideal analogy of this symbiosis so perfectly molded by the Dutch musician.

In Silence begins with thick synthetic pads and great effects. Some lovely analog timbres are used together with more ordinary digital atmospherics. A square-wave sequence appears, gaining in intensity and momentum. A steady groove develops as the Mellotron choir casts its spell. Subtle bell sounds can be heard in what sounds like a very Schulzian finale.
Pin Drop begins with strange effects creating an eerie atmosphere. Dark pads bring in even more uneasiness. Very soon great analogue effects herald the coming of a growling sequencer line. Excellent minimalistic lead melody can be heard. This is some quality EM. The sequences are steady and yet floating and enjoyable. Lovely Mellotron choir adds to the picture, as well as some thick analogue fx. Be Quiet begins with synth atmospheres, lots of effects and a background melody. It's all rather pastoral and restrained at this point. An extremely bright and crisp sequence comes, as the track gets brighter, too. A percussive rhythm starts, as Mellotron string ensemble plays an uplifting melody. On the other hand, Go Quiet surprises with a very upbeat sequence and smooth synth pads. It has something of a Gert Emmens feel to it. This does not only relate to the sounds themselves, but also the arrangements, the melodies and the structure of the piece. If you like Gert's style, you owe it to yourself to check this track out. This melancholic composition finishes with a lot of bubbling analogue effects.The final track, titled Get Quieter, begins with sustained Mellotron choirs, some effects and a somewhat plodding sequence. The atmosphere at this point is very Schulze-like circa X. The tron choirs leave and a reedy lead line is introduced, again reminding on Gert Emmens' style of emotional and a bit melancholic floating EM. Universal Quiet is a relaxing Electronic Music album for those reflective moments, or moments of unexpected sadness. More Eindhoven School than Berlin School, it's brimming with simple but effective sequences, crystalline atmospheres, restrained melodies and warm effects.

Inspired through the BBC series Earth Planet and Frozen Planet, Rene gives us plenty of space with a lot of analogue sounds and squirling sequences on a good tapestry of sounds.
