Album: Cycles Within Cycles Within
Label: Interchill Records
Released: 11th February 2014
I
settled back to listen to this album through the cans while working
on some e-mails interjected with facebook comments. Normally, I don't
like to do a review without giving my full focus to the music.
However, on reflection in this case it's quite fitting.
The
first thing I noticed with the opening track 'The Great Wobble' was
the excellent panning and was glad to have opted to listen through
the headphones. It begins in a psychedelic manner and like many of
the tracks on the album is of epic length and before I knew it I'd
reached a wonderfully chilled atmosphere, which continued and kept me
in a relaxed frame of mind until I'd completed my tasks and strangely
enough emerged to give my full attention at the sixth track
'Emergance'. Which I have to say is a wonderful piece that begins
with birdsong and other field recordings from the natural world. This
is soon joined by an eastern sounding synth voice that just washes
over you. It takes a while for the slow drum brushes to be introduced
but you won't be disappointed with the wait.
To
summarise this album is easy to get lost in. The tracks are somewhat
similar and the epic length of the tracks and the ebb and flow of the
music throughout the album are perfect for a chilled background and I
for one am looking forward to exploring the tracks deeper in the
future.
