Daimon Obscurus
"Side A, starts with smooth ambiental tunes turning louder and louder and stream through my stereo. A certain sound, similar to that of softly pounding on a copper bowl, is also one of the basic tunes that can be heard throughout the complete record, constantly fading to the surface and back away again.

Now some water sound effects in combination with all other kinds of electronic effects at first stream to the surface and then slide away again. This watery ambient soundscapes are accompanied with waves of bubbling water that get you in kind of a very relax trance. Rumbling sounds alike, several additional varieties of watersounds and more of that stuff runs through your consciousness until it ends.
Side B, starts with a louder and heavier getting dark drone with some electronic "bleep" soundeffects. Seconds after, I seem to be at a warm hot beach where I hear the waves roll over the shore. Unlike on side A, that dark ambient drone got so heavy now that my pile of CD’s is on the move again, but is seems to represent the aspects of the waves I guess because it comes up and fades away again. Very dark rumbles take over now and on the background I seem to hear a stronger becoming monotonous tune, that by now changes into other musical tones and effects-basically I’d call it an ambient sound collages completed with the special effects created by water. Very dark rumbling ambient, average and sometimes becoming louder drone and water effects, to describe this record in general. "

Calming textures and digital drones give way to a slow evolving atmosphere based loosely around a water sample (the liquidous feel is evident yet remains to the backing).

Without being forceful side A offers up a multi dimensional piece of layered sounds, (some hazy some mildly rhythmic) all the while the bubbling and gurgling water textures creating an amazing drone piece. Side B ("wassertank") starts slower yet has an inherent forcefulness not evident on the first track. The main textures are more urgent consisting of a multiple drones, sound pulsations and full bodied water samples. Less actual sound distance is covered but this is made up in the departments of sound depth and dynamic. The cover consists of green card, with silk screen printed image to match the clear green vinyl. Another superb release from Drone Records.
