What to expect with
shrooms as its cover art? They've stylized their name as D-P this time.
This minimalist piece
starts out with a sample from someone talking about extraterrestrial life,...
Terence McKenna maybe? Then it turns to a chill ambient piece with
loose-echoing guitar chords and forlorn, long-strung riffs. It's pretty
"spacy", rather than heavy, and is nice for just chilling while
overlooking a sea or contemplating the universe. Nothing really disagreeable
with it as far as D-P goes.
By the second track, we
get some mixing with samples (which aren't as cool as the first) and some
guitar sounds. Then... silence. Or near silence. A low brooding atmosphere in
the background.
Third track is strange,
you don't really know what to think of it since it's wavering effect is really
sort of off-setting. Varies with mood between a circus organ and some kind of
dark intermission.
Layer- I mean Track 4 is
an ominous piece with a droning industrial drum-line. No real progression
except for a guitar riff becoming clearer.
Fifth track: again,
samples with some low-key scifi drone. The drums are kind of harsh but beat at
a low volume.
Last track: definitely
feels like some kind of conclusion or climax is reached. Both sample and guitar
are stronger. None of the mangled English lyrics from past releases.
Really, after listening to
all this it reminds me of that Apple voice from the opening of the Lain
episodes: L A Y E R :
0 9, A L I E N S
7.5/10
for Ambient
