    Loops, beats and synths unite to create a beautiful and serene experience on Ambitions, one worth returning to again and again for fans of instrumental electronica.

    Unlike the space disco of his past, Thomas's music now hangs together not with laser bursts but with silken thread.

    Generally speaking, Ambitions manages to boast Prins Thomas, and all of his varying interests, at their best. There’s no hesitate to be found here, only a constantly moving narrative and sublime certainty of intent.

    It’s the rare occasion that Hermansen’s ambient interests align so neatly with his disco instincts--a small step, perhaps, toward a new era in his exploration.

    His sixth album, Ambitions, continues to refine this style, offering up a tighter, more focused version of his sometimes sprawling tendencies. Although some may miss his more esoteric touches, this feels like the natural evolution.

    Ambitions is somewhat of a slow burner, but it's more cohesive and focused than meandering. Thomas has a masterful way of following his muse, and the album maintains a sense of spontaneity, as well as a casual demeanor, without sacrificing high standards of craft.
