Comment:
by listening to this handful of compositions by Sotra
on Ukraine-based imprint,
u|torn I got the idea that Kosmische Musik is by its method quite
similar to post-rock. Or
vice versa, because Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, and Ash Ra Temple
had existed
(or have been existing)
long before in comparison to
Talk Talk, GY!BE, Explosions
In The Sky, Mogwai, Tortoise. All
those slowly progressing synths and intention to create a delicate
mood around the listener throughout the mostly long-running
compositions. Of course, electronic devices to conjure up the
aforementioned elements are different and it influences the result.
At
Wayfarer one can
hear blinking sounds coming from a lunar echo sounder and bumpy
Moog soup on the bottom and glistening analogue synth-based
overdrives here and there. The
apotheosis comes at
Go
North with those tense
keytar-alike acidic outbursts. Very solid indeed.
