Atmosphere can be easily considered a classic of contemporary EM. The closest comparison would be probably Vangelis. Not recent stuff, but more vintage period when he used lots of analogue instruments. Nevertheless, Fritsch has found his own style within melodic Electronic Music framework. The music is sweeping, majestic, and at times orchestral.
