After a few pulverising black metal albums, it's now time for something to ease my nerves. Luckily, I can always count on a label like Dronarivm to deliver some nice, soothing ambient sounds. This album is no different, although it might be somewhat strange and experimental at times. Not that I mind, on the very contrary. I like strange and experimental and I must say, I really enjoy this album.
The album is actually a remix album where acts from the Dronarivm stable do something highly interesting with music Pleq has released between 2010 and 2016. With acts of appearance by Christopher Bissonnette, Autistici, Segue, Giulio Aldinucci, Olan Mill, The Green Kingdom, offthesky, Legiac, Aaron Martin, Elegi and Tomasz Mreńca, this is not only a nice ambient album, it's also a decent testament of the sheer quality this label has to offer.
But let's pick out of a few songs, beginning with my favorite track, the eerie and lingering 'Gap In Time', remixed by Autistici. This is an otherworldly tune, and it's far from the only one on this record. The haunting soundscapes and almost alien sounds appear almost constantly, turning tunes like 'Momentum (Giulio Aldinucci remix)' into a spooky masterpiece, perfectly suited for a horror movie.
The album is quite long, lasting over an hour, but it never gets stale or one-sided. I can only recommend this album, much like I can only recommend all Dronarivm releases. Sure, this one might be a bit frightening if you're not used to the darker forms of ambient music but I urge you to try it anyway. These are high quality remixes from high quality ambient sounds and each and everyone of them will appear in my living room quite often from now on.
