The Drone Gnome, an album by Jos Smolders, is a captivating and experimental journey into the world of ambient music. The album features seven tracks, each of which is a sonic exploration of the possibilities of sound. The album begins with "The Drone Gnome," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its hypnotic drones and ethereal textures. From there, the album takes the listener on a journey through a range of different moods and atmospheres, from the eerie and unsettling "The Invisible Man" to the dreamy and meditative "The Garden of the Mind."

One of the standout tracks on the album is "The Lost City," which features haunting melodies and intricate rhythms that build into a hypnotic and mesmerizing soundscape. Another highlight is "The Starry Night," which uses shimmering synths and delicate textures to create a serene and otherworldly atmosphere.
