Terrific triple CD set...Formerly of 1990's dark ambient pioneers Endvra. Three previous full lengths on U.K. label Cold Spring. Over three hours of music focusing on subtle changes that command attention and focus; imagine if Philip Glass composed a three hour drone piece... Triple disc set, each disc with its own artwork, held together by a custom band with genuine letterpress printing. Original landscape photos reflecting the mood of each disc by Chris Walton himself, and packaging design by Faith Coloccia.
The sound is pure doom ambient-like. We're in the grip of an icy sonic landscape where darkness appears to be eternal. This is a kind of disturbing release built up with long humming sound vibes¡Kmoves on the edge of experimental music, but never loses its schizophrenic mood.
What's truly impressive though is Walton's ability to inject a palpable sense of variety into each track whilst maintaining that eerie sense of nothingness and death. It must be difficult to play host to a form of music that generally alienates even the most hardy of extreme music fans.
