This' an interesting label, I've been tasting a couple of their releases and I find they've an exciting roster above all if you're into experimental music if names like Francisco Lopez, John Duncan or Tetsuo Furudate still mean a thing, well you don’t need any other comment. This release is quite warm and with that I mean releases like "Commonwealth" are in some ways severe but humane, not just for the most of the sound sources/instruments used, I think it has to do much more with the audio essence of the music. Basically this cd consists of a forty-nine minutes suite evolved around something that sounds like an organ drone which reminded me much more of some La Monte Young than of Xenakis but yes it also brings somehow very close to some compositions of Elian Radigue as you can read in the press sheet accompanying this release. I know many would be tented to compare the sound source to some Pauline Oliveros and I don’t think that would be completely wrong, but believe me, for the first twenty minutes it's really monolithic and it takes time before it starts softening changing note and giving the ambience a more relaxed atmosphere, but don’t worry this softening will leave the "non-indulgent" nature of the record untouched. Thought I don't think this work has been exactly meant to be a dark ambient suite, it goes from massive to crepuscular, infact if during the first half the drone is brawny with the first part of the final decreasing the music becomes really obscure while also inexpressive while approaching the end. "Commonwealth" by some means is a classic work you if you’re into "single drone oriented" release that’s for you.
