Ambient/drone/experimental This five-hour behemoth makes Stars of the Lid look concise. Most of this music works with a common palette of soft, melancholy, and dark synthesized sounds. The recording hiss that cuts in and out during songs adds to the home-recorded feel. Music for ill-lighted places. Recommended particularly for sound-beds and the late night set. NOTE: these pieces tend to end abruptly, so be ready to fade them out manually. Favorites: 1-1, 1-2, 1-4, 1-6, 2-4, 2-5, 4-1, 5-2. No FCCs. Disc 1 1. *(1-1)(7:05)—Serene, warm drones. 2. *(1-2)(13:45)—Deep, aggressive, darkly beautiful drones. Music for an atmospheric horror film. 3. (1-3)(9:18)—Sounds like a few woozy old video game tones slowed down and repeated for nine minutes. 4. *(1-4)(8:20)—Soft, pretty, meandering. 5. (1-5)(7:51)—Lots of soft, dissonant drones flitting in and out. 6. *(1-6)(11:12)—Tinny static that sounds like it’s coming a deep, dark well. Dissonant drones. Disc 2 7. (2-1)(5:05)—Soft, synthesized, flute-like sounds. 8. (2-2)(8:47)—Melancholy, mysterious drones. 9. (2-3)(7:16)—Dark, swirling. Nausea in a dream. 10. *(2-4)(7:38)—Pretty like standing in the shadow under a tree on a windy day. 11. *(2-5)(14:01)—Eerie bells and drones. The soundtrack to those moments when you think something’s behind you. 12. (2-6)(20:05)—One ocean-floor-deep drone. Disc 3 13. (3-1)(11:13)—Bizarrely, this is exactly the same track as 1-6. See above. 14. (3-2)(10:20)—Glitchy drones and aquatic field recordings. 15. (3-3)(37:37)—Bells chiming underwater. If you play this, you and your listeners will get very, very sleepy. Disc 4 16. *(4-1)(7:44)—Nocturnal, autumnal, lush, eerie, beautiful. 17. (4-2)(8:14)—Stop-and-go drones. Dracula’s coming to get you! 18. (4-3)(8:33)—Walking through tunnels. A calm, humming drone. 19. (4-4)(12:43)—Martians taking over the transmitter. 20. (4-5)(18:08)—Transmissions from the howling void of outer space. Disc 5 21. (5-1)(14:45)—A consistent, deep drone. Pinging synth sounds. 22. *(5-2)(11:16)—A loop of soft, slowly elevating drones. Chimes. 23. (5-3)(9:00)—Synthesized, muddy cymbal crashes. Drones and bells. 24. (5-4)(8:20)—This is exactly the same track as 1-4. See above. 25. (5-5)(8:20)—Looped, cut-up voices. Faint drones. 26. (5-6)(5:05)—This is exactly the same track as 2-1. See above. 27. (5-7)(3:31)—Not on the tracklist. Spaceships firing laser beams at the transmitter. | ||
