Comment: the Englishman Cousin Silas (born 1959) who does have a solid post-punk and new wave background continues to put up his magical alchemy consisting of gentle reverberant drones and extended ambient soundscapes which at times come close to atmospheric glimpses of progressive rock either. More detailedly, it does mean more vivid and picturesque guitar arcs have been drawn on top of soundscapes. At times the script of the artist changes into a more New Age-y nature with intense colours of northern lights and smouldering flames of implacable music following some sort of glass bead game. Thirdly, Dimension X is the distinctive exception of electronic and electro-acoustic obsession as if put out through warped wires and defective coils. That enchanting glimpse in Cousin Silas' vast discography is also a subsequent part of the one of We Are All Ghosts (by the way, in the very recent days a next brand new one was created and issued by the two, respectively).
