Phillip Wilkerson - New Smyrna (2008)
/Ambient, Downtempo, IDM, Experimental electronica, Minimal electronica, Avant-electronica/
Comment: The US-based producer/musician Phillip Wilkerson started off his recording career in the ending part of 2005 since it being very profilic, i.e having issued more than 10 releases during this short-running timespan. However, this production of 12 tracks refects upon vigorous progressive music ideas within the realm of ambient- and IDM-based experiments. Most of the tracks are used to be long-running ones, toying with minimalist changes, austere grooves and repeated patterns, which at times will develop into full-scaled hypnotic treats. Moreover, it is really tense and gets growing to the point where it is problematic to distinguish the "real" sounds from the manipulations of your consciousness. A high-qualified output indeed.
