55598 Texture One is what you might get if perchance two masters of the extreme chillscape got together for a collaboration. Beware lest the entropy oozing from your speakers freezes you in time and space. This is what the North Pole sounds like…on Pluto. More than common ice sculptors, Park and Philips show themselves the equals of Steve Roach and Lustmord in the art of making music out of noise. Like “The Magnificent Void” or “Heresy,” Texture One yields nary a melody, a beat, or a recognizable harmony. It has not much of anything, throwing into relief the compositional mastery of these two underappreciated polar bears.

It's a must-have if you like deep desolate arctic ambience. Imagine a gigantic deserted industrial complex buried under the ice floe; this is the kind of sound environment you could expect to hear--long-form drone with waves of deep, resonant humming, noise of water seeping everywhere on crystal icicles... An excellent, chilling release. Arctic ambient must-have 5 Kangiten 2006-12-19 16:03:08 2006-12-19 16:03:08 2 5.00
