Simulacra - Eidolon


Triple Bath

For the second time this month Triple Bath caught me by surprise. A completely unknown project gets a chance to reach a larger audience thanks to Themis Pantelopoulos and his activities as label owner.

Simulacra has only been around for a year and started out as a little bit of fooling around with ambience by Miguel, who is also active with the projects Weihan, Insomnia, Beyond Infinity, Nihilum and Mannus (at least, that is what I make up from his myspace).

The CD-r in a limited edition of 96 contains two long ambient soundscapes with lots of inspiration from the drone-scene. Which means it's calm and quite graphic, allthough there can be found just a little variation over a longer period of time. Both tracks last for over 20 minutes, so it's well worth spending those 3 euro (sadly for the interested it's already sold out).

The first track 'Wandering The Spirit World' is a bit slower in its build-up, while 'Disintegrate Into Nothingness' has the melodic aspects a bit more pushed to the front in the audio spectrum.

As a whole it reminds me a bit (just a bit) of the first part of 'Burning Water', the masterpiece of The Anti Group Commuication. But this would be very appealing to followers of the more darker CMI acts too.
