Elaborate blend of sitar and intricate drone landscapes with gentle tape loops. Excellent late-night material as always, from the Kansas-City based Sonic Meditations.

Some seriously deep stuff.

RIYL: Konntinent, Sounding the Deep, ThrouRoof, Andre Foisy

1. (8:23) Sinister crushing wall of drone. Oddly metallic.
*2. (9:37) Manipulated crow cackles over a bed of sitar. Quite simply put either one of the creepiest or most beautiful tracks I’ve heard in a while—I’m not sure which.
3. (10:02) Impenetrable blustery noise-storm. A sub-bass drone melody slowly emerges from the static.
4. (8:55) Deep. Abyssal drop-off.
5. (7:40) Slow plodding, incessant ringing, murky tones.
*6. (8:46) Sitar as heard through a desert storm. Oddly enchanting.
*7. (8:00) Noticeably brighter than the rest of the album. Synthesizer/sitar tagteam with a foggy curtain of noise. For soul-searching and dreaming.
