Review by: Captain Fidanza
This opens with about ten minutes of beautiful harp music that brings to mind the music played behind the gradually disappearing clock on the BBC Schools channel in the early 1980s “” quite an achievement for two musicians from Philadelphia.
There are four tracks here; each with differing amounts of synthesised scaffolding constructed around the harp and as they proceed at what could best be described as a pace that would shame a glacier, further and further into this curious world is the listener drawn.
Comparisons – particularly ones made by a cretin like me – are stupid, clumsy things, but throughout this fantastic album, I was unable to prevent the mist-covered mountains of Peru from the opening scene of Aguirre: Wrath of God, scrolling through my mind. That should be reason enough to investigate further I would hope.
