Deaf Center Pale Ravine (Miasmah Recordings) Reviewed by BravoMarco Double LP re-release, originally from 2005, this is now repackaged, with extra tracks & sounding even fresher. Norwegian duo of Erik K Skodvin and Otto A Totland, giving us this collection of lush ambient naturalistic sounds, with an added touch of the classical. Evocative, beautiful music. Keep an ear on the long low fades. Piano, Bass, manipulations & just the right amount of droney loveliness. Incredibly relaxing for any show, at any time of the day or night. All good, loving 3,5,6,7,8,9 & 17 Like: Monadh, Stefan Wesolowski, Gregg Skloff, Mytrip No FCC’s (Instrumentals – apart from 17) 1) 1 Lobby (3.01) Soft drone with an optimistic undercurrent. 2) 1 Thread (3.39) Carries on from previous with added textures. Sand paper style motif of rustling. 3) 1 White Lake (6.35) Piano & bass loveliness with delicate accompaniment. 4) 1 Path To Lucy (4.54) At one with nature: forests, oceans, mountains – let the music take you completely away. 5) 1 Stone Beacon (3.30) Atmospheric emotional piece. 6) 1 Weir (6.34) On the edge of the darker experimental spectrum. Lots going on although the sounds melt together very nicely. 7) 1 Loft (4.15) Slow brooding soundtrack quality. Hauntingly good. 8) 1 Thunder Night (4.28) Strings & bells. A further film noir classic. 9) 2 Lamp Mien (3.59) Another double bass of an aching beauty. 10) 2 The Clearing (4.13) Sounds of the wild – A rainforest waking up. 11) 2 Fog Animal (4.25) Ominous start leads to a brighter airy feel. 12) 2 Eloy (2.16) Just so nice & pleasant. Piano leads the way. 13) 2 Social Lucy Waltz (3.24) Could be a choir singing to a drone filled auditorium. 14) 2 The Hall (5.03) Slow quiet build, pensive throughout. 15) 2 Forest (2.04) Louder drone rises & falls. Abrupt end. 16) 2 Corridor (3.31) More of a sparse isolated feel. 17) 2 End Station (5.47) Operatic, sinister conclusion. Wonderful. | ||
