| CAALDRUUN - HEADSTONE (CDR by Fox Den) Erik Kessel is the man behind Caaldruun, and I am sure I haven't heard from him him before. His discography only lists a few releases, and information is sparse: "CAALDRUUN: hypnotic Ambient/Industrial compositions utilizing concrete sonic residue sourced from field recordings, oscillators and other electronic devices." No question in arguing that. It is what it is. Eight pieces here on 'Headstone' and I think it sounds indeed like a cross-over between ambient music and something is perhaps not entirely industrial, but at least has a raw edge to it, spliced out over field recordings and electronics alike. Some tracks are more alike field recording piece, such as 'Longwalks', and other more electronics, which crackling transmissions from dying radio receivers, deep bass hum oscillators and high end frequencies, but, as said, never leaping in downright harsh walls of noise. While I didn't hear something that I haven't before, I thought it was a great release. Excellent selectio n of sounds, minimal yet never boring, dynamic production and a fine ear for composition, always to spot, never too long. The presentation looks good, but could be better. This guy deserves to get heard. (FdW) | ||||
