Album Review

Reviewed 2014-01-23
Cinematic, atmospheric ambient drone featuring field recordings, from Michigan. Cool stuff, fairly minimalist, definitely hits that late night transmissions from space spot. All three selections recommended.

RIYL Constellation Tatsu, Sparkling Wide Pressure, Hakobune, tape music

1 (22:50) Warm, slighty buzzy synths open; transition to a shuffling field recording before slow washes of spacy synths take over. Becomes a quiet drone before picking back up and taking on a nervous, unsettling mood.
2 (7:27) Outer space synth drone with rumbling percussion and field recordings that lend a character not unlike tape hiss
3 (14:48) Sparse, soft electric guitar plucking over warm ambience; section of quiet heavily effected vocal samples distorted into more ambience; synth drone until close
