Journeys into Hyper-space ! New CD in the Cohort-split series. Comes with nice cover.
“The first one is a split as Shifts with Vertonen (it's not the first one) with a new part in his Vertonen series. I still don't know if the title of Shifts' series has anything to do with the artist name. Anyway, ,Vertonen 17' is a 26-minute ghost ride, full of echoing sounds, like an underground wind that rages through dark tunnels. There's even some cold muddy water dripping down in places. OK, so it's not so dark that I had to hide behind the couch, but it sure is isolationist, as they used to call it 10 years ago. And very nice as well. The ,Six Layers To A Masquerade' by Vertonen (aka Blake Edwards) sound more loud and intense, all shimmering drones that are wavering through the room, though it rests a little more towards the end. The piece is separated into six "overlays", each carrying nicely overdone subtitles.” [label info]
