DEAD VOICES ON AIR — The Silent Wing

"Mark Spybey, also known as Dead Voices On Air, just slowly builds on his never ending discography. Here he adds a particular coherent record to the list 'The Silent Wing'. His previous releases, as far as I heard them I must admit, always seem to limp on various ideas: partly rhythmical, even kraut-like if you wish, partly atmospherical. Not a bad combination, but indeed well spotted to go for a record that would focus on one of these. As the title implies the ambient side of Dead Voices On Air prevails here. It seems to me that Mark locked himself in with a bunch of analogue synthesizers, some sound effects and taps into the same barrel as a lot of others who recently (re-)discovered cosmic music. Sustained sounds, bits of very light weight rhythm, some organ like/light sounds. Perhaps it seems all made with great ease, but that's ok: the result is great. Highly atmospheric in approach, quite dark most of the times, but also with small stripes of sunlight. Spring is coming, ladies and gentlemen (at least on this side of the equator). A delicate record, some excellent late night mood music." [FdW / Vital Weekly]
