MARC BEHRENS / PAULO RAPOSO - 'Hades' CD (and/OAR)
Adorning the cover of this release is a beautiful image of ferry boats on a calm, yet brooding expanse of water; and it's from these ferries that all the original sounds were sourced. They were then reformed, reprocessed and manipulated to make a series of hauntingly beautiful sound sculptures that carry all the hallmarks of menace and darkness that the name would suggest. Resonant textures, high frequencies, noisy punctuations, which are evocative of the original source material. Stark interludes combine to give the listener a very compelling listen indeed. Recommended for fans of the more abstract end of electronic music. Gatefold cover.
