*200 copies limited edition* Drift, the ambient music project led by Gabriele Giuliani, originally active from 1995 to 1999 and recently revived after a lengthy hiatus, has become a significant name in the realm of isolationist ambient music. Drift’s compositions are often described as stark and minimalist, while the project’s albums have been lauded for their ultra-bleak soundscapes, characterized by extended, immersive tracks that evoke a sense of desolation, cementing Drift’s status as a cult figure in the genre.
