“THE DEEPEST CUT, and if the opening twinkles of "Air Check" doesn't clue you in that you're "able to get swept away in a wave of ambient music, nothing will.
Indeed, the gamelan of "The Queen and the Eclipse" hums with quiet intent, while "Georgia" leans much more on the electronics to accompany its initial plaintive piano melody. The meditative "Mandella With The Golden Hair" seems created to induce a zen trance (despite the occasional deep bass hits), while "Mistersorphine" kicks off with a wistful chanson sample, as the track itself comes and goes, as if blinking in and out of existence.
"Off," on the other hand, stays present the whole time, throbbing in the prayerful darkness. The Deepest Cut, the title track, after a major key intro, quickly switches into an urgent minor key melody that sets the tempo even when it disappears whilst he closer, "Dream to Dawn," returns to pure ambience in a swirling concoction.”
it is a beautiful sounding collection of tracks with lots of small sonic surprises around each corner. Good old analog synths sounds mixed into the layers of simple repeated themes.
