BLURB
A collection of aural landscapes, some conventional, some not, designed
to evoke moods and images (and in some cases deep coma) rather than to
be sung along to. This album is an experimental one in the literal
sense of the word: most of it was recorded on a “try it and see” basis,
and anything I liked at the time stayed in. Consequently the result
is rather uneven – some tracks work while others don’t.
Conspicuously.
However, this approach at least has the advantage of leaving room for
improvement. (Where to now? He wondered, as the tunnel forked and
the unholy, eldritch ululations behind him grew louder.) Bear this
in mind as the second album coalesces.
Have fun.
