The beauty of these tracks is that, while experimental
and ambient to the point of non-structure (at least
non-traditional structure) they still bear the
personality of music. As much as anything, I could
envision these as the soundtrack to a dark movie of
some sort. At any rate, the expansive ambience of
space music permeates throughout. Scattered mild
textures also abound, diluted to the point that it is
not harsh, but rather mellowing. But at the same time,
elongated, seen through water technoish manifestations
also make themselves known, providing sort of a
minimal barest of bare skeletons around which the
infinite unfolds. And while on one hand this is
experimental audio, non-traditional music, whatever
you wish to call it - possessing that otherness that
is a hallmark of such music - it, at the same time,
feels like everyday night ambience, like the sounds of
standing outside a desolate farmhouse in the middle of
a moonless, unlit night. Utterly consuming and captivating.-- review by Kristofer Upjohn
