Review:

 

A lot of digeridoo stuff going on here.. actually every track has digeridoo..

some tracks have pretty much nothing else but the digeridoo.. well some tracks

also have tribal drum stuff and bassline thingies.. if you like digeridoo this

one is good for you.. I find this album a little "monotone", I guess I'm just

not a big fan of digeridoo.. although there are a few tracks that are totally

fabulous.. this might be one of those albums that you actually have to be

high/or extremly relaxed while listening..

anyhow..

I give it 7/10

This isn't a great album I'm afraid to say. There's too much "digeridoo" for

my tastes; and my tastes are that of a psychedlic and downtempo/chillout

critic for the purposes of this review, and this album doesn't really fit into

those categories. There's just not enough substance in this album to mention

anything remarkable... and there are some tracks like "Wild Islands" that are

around 150 bpm, and some with not a beat or bassline to be found! I'm

confused by this discontinuity, but perhaps I've missed something. Maybe this

will grow on me, but right now it's only deserving of a 5/10 for some nice

instrumentals.

I find vey courageous from SST to produce an album and an artist which rely

essentially on didgeridoo.

 

Didgeridoo has his charms, secrets and inconvenients. This instrument can be at

time catchy,hypnotizing,bewithcing and other times monotone or boring. Indeed,

all depend how it is used : mainly solo or in a more global construct harmony

with others different elements.

 

 

For tracks 1,3,5,10 which are only digeridoo, it?s sure that?s more diffcult to

listen except probably for didgeridoo?s full lovers.

 

When instruments are added like in track 2(flute),4(voices ,percus),6(guitar,

singer 60?s or 70?s psyspirit),7(synths),8(harp ?),9(voices,samples billow

more instruments),11(bass,guitar,percus), it becomes easier and enjoyable to

hear.

 

My favorites are Hednisphere, Cloud Stalker, Wild Islands(not ambient indeed).

 

In a second order : Coitus,Tarn.

 

Mark :7/10

Sometimes this tunes are boring... The experimental style of album looks like

Abracadabra album. The really nice tracks which takes not only didgeridoo

sounds. Thus, track 7,9,11 very impressive. Ambiguous album. 6/10
