David Abir/Ashley Wales "Movement A, Study 33/Landscape" (Sulphur)
Two long ambient tracks by two diffent artists. On the third release
in Sulphur's "Meld" series the artists don't collaborate, but arrives
at something similar by themselves. David Abir goes all classical on
us, with strings, flutes and choirs moving in circles around each
others, sometimes loud, sometimes quiet. Pretty suggestive, but can't
hold my interest for 23 minutes. The second track is better: Ashley
Wales (from Spring Heel Jack) uses a few sounds from a piano and a
synth on the 14 minute long "Landscape", and the floating result is
rather reminicient of Brian Eno's classical ambient works. Impressive.
