Volume two in the Departing Of A Dream series is as dark as the first volume (if not more so). There's a lot of emphasis on drone and dark ambiences, but the blues also have a stronger presence... when there is some actual playing. For example, the third and sixth tracks don't even contain any music (well, you'll have to pay close attention to hear any guitar playing - there is some, but it's practically non-existent), they are very hissy field recordings of chirping birds in an unidentifiable environment. Very strange and very creepy. It's almost as if Connors was trying to make his presence unnoticeable or as if we were invading his home and his home just happens to be a haunted house. Parts of this album sounds like those very old spectral voices recordings where one is supposed to hear the voices of the dead caught on tape. It's definitely got the same ghostly atmosphere. |
