Ok, ignore the bad layout, first because this cdr is available for postage costs only, second (and most of all) because this is a dramatic improvement from PSI's previous releases, which by the way were not bad at all. Ian Holloway hasn't changed the nature of his project (i.e. synth-driven cosmic ambient), but has surely created a more daring and focused piece of minimal music. The single 43' 30'' track starts begins with a huge organ sound which will float in the air for some 20 minutes, when a synth sweep and then a pitch-shifted melody are slowly added. Then the organ returns, closing the piece in a circular way. While I'm still not a fan of overtly audible synth sounds, PSI has written a great composition, with a skillful use of timing and sequences; and the organ-like sound is splendid (think of jliat's "The Nature of Nature"). Well worth the few pennies to cover postage.
