Comment: The Starry Tides is the project of David
Merson Hess who is also known as film music composer. It is a peculiar issue
because of involving tracks being not longer than 3 minutes (the whole finishes
off at 10.41). On the other side, it is a sort of post-rock music which tends
to meander within many minutes from its starting point. Frequently guitar
sounds are embellished with glitch electronic noises, vivid spoken samples
(from the film scores?). By the way, the album is issued on his own record
label Reverse Engine. In a word, the result is moody and revealing its abundant
supply of fantasies.
