Faulty media: two last tracks missing from CD-R, fourth track corrupted. Composed in 2002, this album is another record of meditative compositions in the same vein as Milk Sea or Inner Galaxies. The repetitive synth melodies will certainly put you in a trance (the opening track for example is one single loop repeated for a whole thirteen minutes!) but I guess this is the meaning when you sit down and empty your mind in order to reach enlightenment. Even more sleep-inducing is the second track (which confusingly enough has the same exact title as the first track), a long and deep eighteen minute drone with barely any changes at all (I believe the tone is carefully calculated to recreate the "om" chants during meditation) after which, the loud, grating third drone will wake you up. This is definitely Airaksinen's most minimalist effort to date, drone fans should absolutely get this one. |
