| "While (according to a previous interview at the official Tetsu Inoue website) Tetsu Inoue may have set out to create a body of works without emotion, the appreciative listeners' own pleasant awe will seep into these definitely different explorations... weird, wonderful ambiance actively breaks away from just plain sounddrifts (Or, as Tetsu says in his liner notes, "Slow and Low" is a Muzak for random sculptures and Mixmedia mood swing" ). Organic activities and natural forces seem to be at work here, albeit in transmuted forms; witness the surging winds/waves of Man Made Heaven, its twinkling twilight times and its insectoid appearances. Hints of his future directions are revealed as tiny fragmented soundbits occasionally surface from the whorling multi-textured vortex of Slow and Low (13:16) The deep space environments of Polychrome Chant (7:03) resonate with ringing tones and celestial grit, unearthly isolationist beauty pockmarked with occasional blemishes. Lazily looping wisps of sound are pumped up by slight rhythmification and an electro-dub bass pulse in Speculative Vision... pretty sweet stuff for being without emotion, much in the same way a blooming flower is "without emotion", yet evocative all the same." - AmbiEntrance |
