Breathy female phonetalk creeps into Sun Across My Eyes (8:16), a murky zone of inscrutable (and somewhat creepy) drifts backed by periodically thumping beats and sparse piano glints. Faraway bass notes and sputtering cymbals add the musical elements to
Resonance's otherwise shapeless soundwaves; the turning of pages might also be heard, unless my ears deceive me. Mutedly coarse textures of
Dust and Glass ripple in oblique cycles, topped here and there by lightly fluttering ephemera, and later, semi-musical outbursts and percussion.
Beneath the shimmering tones and watery trickles of
Ascent (Glastonbury, 1/1/2000) (7:33), a jubilant crowd hoots and hollers, their distinctly looped revelry intruding upon my enjoyment rather than accentuating it (and again inWellhouse Lane). And then... the barking dogs of otherwise-pleasantly-amorphous
Balloon Phase just make me want to stick my head out the windows and yell at the neighbors to shut that damned mutt up! More-appealing sample use occurs during
Back 1 Time, where glassy scrapes add grit to light tonal breezes.
With creaking details, stormy weather blows in, to be overlain with the lush synthsymphonics and cymbal syncopation of Leap. Piano prettiness merges with Forget to Appear...'s wandering electronics accents.
Sizzling flurries swish around Miles Away (Glastonbury 1/1/2000) (2:12), decorated with quietly twinkling keys, fortunately far from the maddening crowd.
