Supliington’s “Repeating Flowers” is a rich blend of digital ambiences, synthetic washes, mellow drawn-out instrument notes and effects, and an above-average helping of light multi-ethnic drum sounds. It’s a sonic bath, but at times a slightly disorientating one- while it doesn’t wander too far into dischord, there are some alien tones and odd juxtapositions here that make the release clamour for attention more than some do.

There’s a range of durations here, with “A Ritual Dance For Growth” little more than a 2-minute interlude, perhaps an unfinished idea, while “The Ocean As One Being” is allowed to breath for a justified and welcome ten minutes.

“A Place Of Fear And Realisation” is boldly simple, while “Spring Dance” brings live toms and deep drums into the mix in a way that feels natural and authentic. “Comforting Company” also adopts live drum sounds, but in a more regular and uniform manner than feels more like sample loops. The finger-snaps and gated vocal-like sounds of final track “An Infinite Loop Of Time” are a refreshingly upbeat way to mellow out, devoid of at least some of the melancholy that normally pervades this kind of soundscape.

It’s a smooth, fantastically coherent and ultimately rather beautiful 50 minutes of aural comfort, with just enough of the unorthodox about it to give it a memorable character.

(Oh and by the way, although I've listed it as "download only", it is also available as a limited edition cassette, but "cassette + download" wasn't on my options list.)
