Comment: this 8-track issue was released 9 years ago but its actuality could be even a bit more brought forth today than many years ago. Recently artists within the indie/alternative music exploit electronic devices as a main instrument to express their aesthetic and artistic ambitions. I am quite sure that soon such a sort of ambient music as represented here will be tagged as indie. However, it should not be surprising at all because history used to repeat itself. Its spiral curve was presented many decades ago with the appearance of krautrock with regard to its inner logic of development, from guitars to be left for synthesizers and for poignant electronic manipulation until it would have changed for a new beginning with other accents. It is partly movement, it is partly the consolidation of an old tradition, and the rejection of it. And sometime this pattern gets forgotten while the repetition is again thinkable. Throughout these 8 pieces one can follow these air and elemental part laden layers full of ennobling emotions and lofty sensations. In fact, its sophisticated technical side does not burn out emotions within it because it is artistically finely balanced. This awesome outing is a bit of the discography of Abyssa.
