<< monolake gobi the desert ep

shimmering, crackling, crisp, booming. if you sleep with the windows open
and are near crickets, this will blend in perfectly. >>
The first time that I heard this disc, my windows were very open and the
crickets outside were chirping very loudly...I could not differentiate...it
was a beautiful mindfuck.
quoted 1 line there is is a>> there is is a
variety of chirping throughout the one track36 minute disc, along with
some serious bass. the bass hits are far enough apart that i think this
would qualify as ambient, but with all the foreground movement and shifts,
it certainly isnt boring. <<
The bass comes in at just the right moments, suddenly, when you don't expect
it, like a strange wind blowing up in the desert. Reminds me, blessedly,
that there is plenty of good ambient music yet to be produced in this
world...yes, I think this must be termed "ambient."
<< if you have and like interstate, this is a
definite winner and if you dont then you have something new to go buy. >>
Just as the "amazon" track from interstate conjures up the rainforest
imagery, this ep is seeped in the spooky deep beautiful desert vibes...as one
who loves the desert, this *concept* works on me, having once devoted many
hours to making the perfect ambient-electronesque tapes for driving through
the desert.
