Very low rumbles, like distant storm clouds open this two-track CDR. “Summer Song 2007” is a bonus track, (unusually positioned at the beginning of the album), which embarks on a weathered journey over 8 minutes. Deep sea rumbles with far off metal scrapes that whistle like miniature boats on a tranquil tide of incalculable distance. This is a very minimal drone akin to the descent of a diver, sinking very slowly to the pitch black of the ocean floor.

“Rainbow’s End” clicks into play just as I open my Yahoo account to see an image of an actual rainbow’s end captured on digital camera – funny, hah?! Similar, very low submerged drones, rusted battleship twisting boughs and snoring whales make up the sonic pallet. This is extremely tranquil music that would work beautifully as a soundtrack to a deep-sea exploration documentary. Obscure and highly elongated melodies can be found on repeat listens, as well as through abandoned concentration, allowing the music to slip past with the watered matter it depicts. Electronics, dial-up tones and general recordings of the aether create further textures to the expansive topography. It really does feel like either slowed down field recordings, or brief performances slowed to a 30minute marathon. There is too little to keep my attention, or to warrant more than a couple of revisits. 4/10 -- Peter Taylor (25 February, 2009)
