51794 Deep drones, washes of sound-- there is a certain minimalism here, yet interesting sounds are always peeping out from around a corner. Altogether very evocative, and an excellent listen!

Deep Drone effect! benekkea 2005-10-03 16:53:40 2005-10-03 16:53:40 5 52750 I was listening to this the other night on headphones while looking at some NASA photos. I got totally lost in the experience. This is excellent deep space music for your virtual sci-fi fantasy! Nice.

An diese anknüpfend erwartet einen auf Gunkanjima finsteres Ambient, das stellenweise an Schloss Tegal erinnern läßt. Die sechs sehr minimalistischen Titel haben mit einer Spieldauer von neun bis achtzehn Minuten eine äußerst angenehme Länge und übertreffen in der Qualität Björklunds bisherigen Werke. Besonders mit guten Kopfhörern bei großer Lautstärke gefallen mir die tösenden, lärmenden und rauschenden Klänge. Zu hoffen ist, daß Björklund diesen Weg beibehält.

However, I did not find that the last 3 tracks were nearly as strong and interesting as the first half. The score of 4 is a 5 for the 1st half and 3 for the second half.

Dark, gloomy, creepy. Highly recommended for the fans of darker side of ambient and musique concrete. The reason why I did not give this 5 stars is that I rarely can listen to whole record from start to finish. But in two parts it is an enjoyable listen. Dark side of ambient at it´s best Marko-V 2009-02-14 06:17:57 2009-02-14 06:17:57 4 7 4.57
