Released back in 1996 by Cold Spring Records, ALDEBARAN was the first CD by Inade. The German combo already released on their own label Loki Foundation two tapes but with ALDEBARAN they were able to test their dark ambient sound with a wider audience. Divided into four different movements, ALDEBARAN, is a sort of concept album focused on "the black light of the universe which illuminates the inner world" where the "68 dimensions is the stair where the shadows of the secret knowledge darken the reality". The band's sound aims to make feel to the listener the pulse of the universe and all the four movements ("Signals from 68 dimensions", "The conquest of being separated", "The crushing of earthly foundations" and "The end of the beginning") tend to induce a dizzy sensation into the audience. Flowing/hissing sounds come back and forth through the speakers and even if sometimes the minimalism of the early tracks need more attention, there's a certain development which make the sound explode during the second part of "The end of the beginning". Here the hisses are coupled by obscure vocals, trembling sounds and darkness. Listened nowadays this is still a nice album and you have to listen to it loud to fully appreciate it.
