Title: Restless
Format: CD
Label: First Fallen Star (@)
Rated: * * * * *
There's one word for this album: drone, and in dark ambient field this means classicity. This album is devoted to the life of abiocen, a life without humanity, a life of pure nature. In the booklet, every track of this album is associated with a pictures and some words of tranquillity and sorrow. "Time is running slower [...] water stopped to run and stream [...]lonely moon is looking at the emptied city [...] heavy steps are slow and brooding [...] shadows coming out of rocks [...] going on and on in circles [...] ice is droning under strain". As the words suggests, the music is a slow moving layers of resonance made out of samples and instruments and, even without escaping the boundaries of the genre, has some good points in tracks like "Restless (Foreboding" and "Restless (Night is Here)" with evocative soundscapes.
This work has nothing new stylistically to offer but has a good choice on musical elements to work with, so could be a good choice for dark ambient fans.
