Cosmic Ground is a duo project
featuring Sunhair (Horst) on synthesziers and Dirk (Electric Orange) on
sequencers, modular synth and other synths. Good old analog gear! This is a live album record at two different festivals
in 2016 (E-Live Festival, Oirschot and the Psychedelic Network in Würzburg). It
was mixed and produced by Dirk. The opening track is very much like 70s
Tangerine Dream stuff with many of the tracks having a main synth sequencer
line that they then both play and add layers of synths on the top. Cairo Grind (see below) has a few minutes of space before the repeated synth kicks in and it is a bit
more like a drum beat, nearly to start and then becomes more synth like as the
energy grows. A bit of a dark feeling on this track. Unground I is very spacey
track. I hope they had some nice visuals
to go along with this… Underground II is
more than just a break in the track. Also very spaced out and floating but some
beautiful melodies in it as well. If you get the digital download you get an
extra track called Anomaly. If you are a
fan of this sort of music, they do it really well and this is a great
performance. Do they create something
new and unheard of before, not really, stick to pretty established routines but
they do it fucking good!!
This is a site where I post reviews of CDs, DVDs, LPs, and concerts. I have been writing music reviews on and off since 1984. I ran a heavy metal fanzine from 1984-1988 called Metal Madness and have been a staff writer for Aural Innovations for many years. I have also contributed to Chrohinga Well (RIP), Bad Acid (RIP), Lowcut (RIP), Roadburn and a number of other zines as well. I recently moved to Portugal so please request the new address and do not send any music to Denmark anymore. Tak..
