Glacial Movements
This is already the third release on the small Italian label Glacial Movements and they just don't stop being amazing. After the highly recommended sampler "Cryosphere" and the impressive "Morketid" by label-owner Netherworld it is time for Robin Storey, a.k.a. Rapoon to come up with enough icecold ambience to freeze your stereo.
Yes, stereo, because the music on 'Time Frost' is way to intrusive to play in the background while you're driving a car or bicycle. This stuff - as with most deep dark ambient or drones - should be played on a good volume while you're sitting on the couch or in your favorite chair, reading a book or just listening to the tunes.
Rapoon's trademark is already known to most of you - slow delays where ambience or rhythmic structures are guided into a soundscape - and on 'Time Frost' it is no different. But every time Mr. Storey seems to be able to get into a perspective where it still sounds progressive and unlike any work before.
'Time Frost' is more minimal then other Rapoon releases which subscribes the loneliness and nothingness of the arctic atmospheres layed out by the Glacial Movements label. The four shorter tracks which open the CD are complemented with a long, almost 35 minute opus magnus which is already worth buying this CD.
Sooo, what's next? I want more!
