Next to Steve Roach, the US-duo Frore (aka Paul Casper) and Shane Morris were also attracted and inspired by the solar eclipse, which led to this tribal-ambient release featuring a trance-inducing, ingenious melt of electronic and acoustic instruments. In there are five rhythm-oriented rides where minimalist, hypnotic and ethereal realms stride aside of each other. It’s not difficult to hear parallels with some darker-shaded ethno works by ambient master Steve, as travels like the hypnotizing “Unfolding” venture into kindred, shaman-flavoured sound worlds. The tasty addition of the duduk to the sound design of “Orison” makes this track stand out for me, lending it a mysterious, elevating edge. Overall, there are lots of details and captivating currents to be discovered in this fine aural work along many cyclic structures. |
