OREN AMBARCHI - 'Triste' CD (Southern Lord)
Originally released as an LP in 2003, now reissued onto CD with 2 lengthy bonus remix tracks. Bearing most comparison to 'Grapes From The Estate', 'Triste' sees Ambarchi delving deep into electronically rendered drone ala SunnO))) / Earth. Yet where their work can at times smother through its sheer intensity, Ambarchi is careful to open the window and let a bit of fresh air in. From the opening digital creaks and chimes of 'Triste Part 1' through to the spiked ardour of 'Triste Part 2', Ambarchi takes increasingly familiar elements then sculpts them into something both bold yet eminently accessible. Outsize gatefold sleeve.
