Free Music Review: Exactly what I look for in "ambient" music
Hit: 5 Stars
For me, 2009 was the year of mid-60s classic jazz: Miles, Trane, Hancock, Shorter. So far, 2010 is the year of ambient. I love all styles of music but more often than not I've sought music that would serve as a backdrop rather than music that required my undivided attention.
Ambient can be a lot of things. I've long been a fan of Brian Eno, and discovered his collaboration with Harold Budd, Harold Budd & Brian Eno: The Pearl. It turned out to be an excellent first step on the journey, because it led me to Budd's collaborations with Robin Guthrie, which led me to Guthrie's solo albums, etc. etc. etc.
I also discovered Steve Roach, and by virtue of that, stumbled across Between Interval.
The best way I can describe ambient (at least the style I prefer) is some form of drone or loop...a rising/falling swell of keyboards, varying degrees of repetition as a backdrop...with varying degrees of minimal melody laid on top. As either of these elements become more "busy" and complex, the music...for my tastes...can only be loosely defined as "ambient."
Between Interval's music is of the Budd / Eno school...no matter how stark the compositions may be, there is actual content behind the performances. The first two tracks..."Autumn Continent" 1 into "Submerged"...form a moody, somewhat dark "dreamscape" if you will. The next track, "Hidden Wastelands," progresses over a low rumble with rising and falling volume. That seques into "The Tides Of Time," which picks up more of a Tangerine Dream feel in terms of the stacatto rhythm (or perhaps Pink Floyd's "Another Brick In The Wall"). "Expanding Area" returns to the feel of the first three tracks. "Passageway" spends its first five minutes working with a slow, subtle rumble before opening up into a slight bit of increased volume and complexity for the finale. "Early Life Remainings" brings in a bit of "World" beat, for lack of a better term. In the overall context of the CD, you might find this one to be a bit "thumpy" and distracting...all a matter of taste. "This Dominion" returns the proceedings to dark, subtle and moody, and flows into the final two tracks.
All in all, a consistent work, and while I probably would remove "Early Life Remainings" for the reasons listed above, it's not reason enough from me to back off on my 5 star rating. If you like this kind of music...especially if you like it dark...this one's for you.
