This Tuesday January 27th - Glenn Love

Glenn Love's recent live performances have emphasized a more
downtempo ambient chill factor than the dark ambient trance
found on his first CD "Cruel Utopia". Over the past year Glenn
has been playing at Dark Rave on a regular basis and promoted
his new material in Europe last summer. A new release is currently 
in the works. For his live shows, Glenn's original loops, sounds
and beats are blended with live improvision over sequences.
Low-key lazers and a little fog for atmosphere are also planned.

Between Sets CD - "Life Sequence" by Steve Roach (Timeroom)
Burbling, percolating, interlocked sequences are the heart and
the heartbeat of this new collection of electronic works by
Roach recorded from 1988 to 2003. Two of the recent pieces
are collaborations with Paul Ellis of Dweller at the Threshold.

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"Bioluminescence" by Silvercord

Ushered in by a chilling static out of which a slight melody
drifts, "Bioluminescence" by Silvercord paints a picture of
a world between worlds, where magic and energy meet as one.
Comprised mostly of instrumental pieces, "Bioluminescence"
grows & develops on the ideas of Silercord's first album and
presents an even more focused vision of wonder rising & falling.

Each song (numbered conveniently from i to viii) is a thing
of sweeping, undulating charms, where sound passes gently
through the songs, like phantoms passing through the world
of the living. A bell here, an imagined voice there, it all adds
up to create something almost alive in it's beauty.

I've been listening to Silvercord's work pretty intently for a
while now, and I can assure you that they are well worth
checking out. Rarely have I come across a band with such
an ability to not only create a mood or an image, but an
entire environment as well. On "Bioluminescence" there are
worlds within worlds, each more beautiful than the last,
and each worth exploring for yourself.
