Dunkel-sphärische Ambient-Compilation aus dem OÖPHOI-Label UMBRA, die perfekte nächtliche Begleitmusik. Einige Newcomer, einige Altbekannte, gute Mischung, alles exklusiv und im UMBRA-typischen grossen Vollfarbcover: THALIA, AIDAN BAKER, 3 SECONDS IN FORMALDEHYDE, PROPELLER ISLAND, TROUM, OÖPHOI, PAUL BRADLEY.
"The title of this compilation as well as the label name, not to mention the artists involved, should give you a pretty clear idea
of what this comp is all about. Some serious deep listening, music on the Threshold Of Silence, featuring loads of AQ faves like Aidan
Baker, Troum, Paul Bradley and others...
Yep, this is a collection of inward looking outward seeking minimal ambient drone music, and it's all quite gorgeous. Seven
groups, utilizing a fairly standard array of instrumentation, synths, voice, percussion, guitar, effects, strings, keyboards, cello,
electronics, analog modular system and water (!) between them, each picking some tiny microscopic corner of the sonic universe to open up and explore. Deep resonant cavernous underwater drones, warm bleary eyed drift, muted melodies floating above crystalline shimmers, dense melodic blurs rippling with subtle tonal color, fragments of guitar
loosed and allowed to hover amidst opaque swirls and glimmering streaks of sound, long drawn out notes, layers of synths piled atop
warm swells, all sorts of drones, from bright and sparkling, to murky and muddy to blissfully blown out, this without a doubt has become
THE late night drifting off lullaby record of choice for some of us.
Packaged in an oversized full plastic sleeve, with an oversized card, full color image on one side and liner notes on the
other." [Aquarius]
