Reviewed by BravoMarco

Ambient release from Belgium, courtesy of Bernard Zwijzen. Eilean Records keeps producing quality experimental music from Europe. Lighter drone with elegant spacey aspects all feature as well as subtle samples of field recordings. From the liner "This album is dedicated to the rivers and streams, crossing the exquisite mountain-landscape of the Alps and Dolomites in the beautiful region of Southern Tirol."

Like: Gregg Skloff & an ambient “Zeta One”
Very nice release: Loving 3,4,6,10
