This is easily one of my favorite among all of Chalk's recordings to date. Weird and definitely trippy, Vega is like the perfect ambient album for aficionados of entheogens. The shimmering guitar notes muffled and resonating throughout the three pieces, accompanied by the occasional audio tweak in the background makes for some of the most visionary sounds I've ever heard. Each perceptible note that pierces through the thick drones are enough to trigger wild and vivid imagery in the listener. This might be ambient music, but as always, there lies a dark undercurrent to these evaporating sounds. Vega creeps up on you like a rain storm on a sunny day. The second part of the album is my personal favorite, the gaseous sounds remind me quite a bit of the most ambient pieces by Gas (without the beats of course); this one is like floating and swirling among the clouds, blissful and at peace. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful music! |
