Jens Berents Christiansen's brainchild Rumpistol is one of the few projects that makes progress without deteriorating or messing around by licking fashionable sonorities and this album is the most convincing patency that he has not scattered his creative forces that marked his merriest first steps. All tracks, whose titles start with A, on "Away" reveal that chromatic luxuriance of his gentle style, which wisely blends IDM, dub, techno, broken beats, downbeat and even jazz and modern classical spurts, but manage to pierce through mature topics such as soul drifting, loneliness and alienation, which got remarkably depicted by means of piebald sonic springs: the danceable carousel of hypnagogic clots of "Asleep", the volatile vaporizations of "A Glance", which could resemble to some stuff by Royksopp, the tamished bespeaking of borderline urban living of "A Town", the electronic dub swarms of "Allahbad", the lovely sullen cycloids of "A Fall", the abulic slow-motion of "Amar", the lovely a-whirl dub of "Adrift", the abraded mellowness of the song "Away" which features a lovely duet by Red Baron and Katherine Mills Rymer (OOFJ) and the emotional intensity of John LaMonica's singing on the final track "Atacama", which vividly evokes the coastal desert place between Chile and Peru, the driest non-polar desert in the world.
