Steaming pangs

By Triumph of Principles
A'soldiering through a radioactive netherworld. Burnt by the caustic sprays, and undaunted keeping onward to the awaiting pristine forest stronghold. Clipped and twisted in body, but obstinately naive of cynicism. A hurt kid viewing the apocalyptic township. Braving through it - for to reach a dreamworld of vine-twirled bowers and wild, rosy gardens.
An interesting and surprising new trip.

Even more so than his last album (Holkhalm Drones), Luke's album doesn't sound like a collection of unrelated tracks put together, but more as a single piece of music. It's quite different from his previous outings and most of it uses unusual but interesting rhythms. The main track Amphis is very haunting.
Beautiful Gurgling Synth Music!

Luke Abbott returns with a collection of largely improvised tracks comprised of all manner of synth gurgles, trills, honks, scronks and anything else he can coax out of his modular synth. This album has been a grower for me. It took a few listens for me to enter the world he creates on this record. after 3 or 4 times thru the album, the miasmic splay of analog organisms reveal a pastoral, melodic undertone. I might still prefer the more structured blasts from his older releases, but this one is still seducing me more and more. ask me again this time next week.
