Off land - Microcosm (2011)




8.9

/Ambient, Kosmische Musik, Dark ambient, Soundscapes, Shoegaze/

Comment: Tim Dwyer`s 12-track album is subdued yet passionate to form a rich texture of sounds and emotions. It sticks to the formula of blending (dark) ambient tissue jostled by a bunch of shoegaze-near propulsions and glowering guitar subversions. In regard to microscopic bubbling and synth hooks it resembles the examples of hailing from the Kosmische Musik scene. However, throughout the course the record used to chime and provide lots of soporific moments. By kindred souls this 67-minute long issue seems to hark back to an abstract masterpiece of Slowdive, Pygmalion. On the other side it can be considered a hit of contemporary New Age music.
