Abandoned Communities are Lee Norris and Pietro Bonanno and with their  CD album debut they prepare the listener a temporal refuge from the structures of daily life. As drones pulse into and out of focus the dry heat of an Italian afternoon hangs heavily overhead. A darkness falls, a protective darkness prompting memories of dreams nobody ever had.Two majestic, long-form pieces looping in memetic equilibrium, two places to rest, to be within.

This 4th volume of the "Autumn of communion" series surely has at lot of magic, like 20 years ago many first fax releases had. However, this one sounds more refined and coherent as, say, "Silence 1" or the two "Dreamfish" releases. But surely AOC 4 draws a lot of the Namlook spirit, of which we should be grateful, and of course Steve Roach, and I still scent Klaus Schulze in the distance.

Be that as it may, this album has positive and at the same time melancholic feeling,like looking fondly backwards with no regrets, but ready to move forward. It has great ideas, a big flow, and even grandeur. A release to grace the memory of Pete Namlook.

I am curious how it will stand the test of time.

The Longing Daylight, the sophomore effort from Lee Anthony Norris and Porya Hatami, is a natural followup to Every Day is a New Drug. Once again working with their familiar recipe of field recordings, electronics, and improvised live piano, Lee and Porya dig deeper into their trademark windswept, decaying, yet delicate sound to produce an ambient masterpiece that is sure to delight their fans. Clocking in at just over 39 minutes, the 5 tracks of The Longing Daylight are just long enough to keep the listener aurally satisfied, while at the same time wanting more.

Earlier this year, Lee Anthony Norris and Dimitar Dodovski wowed ambient fans with their first effort under the project name Moss Garden on the obscure Japanese label Kaico titled "Understanding Holy Ghosts". Now Carpe Sonum is thrilled to present their much welcomed encore release, "In the Silence of the Subconscious". Moss Garden weaves together complex tapestries of sounds, creating an avalanche of ambient waves that overwhelm the outer senses and reach deep inside the inner mind.

Following a direct path onwards from the three volumes of Crows-an-Wra with Ishq, within that same world but only barely, a chance in your journey to take a breath after so much ground covered, Alien is a warm morning album for sitting silently with friends smiling as last night still echoes faintly, lingering and fading equally.
Alien gently surrounds, holds you, oddly familiar, alien. Those echoes become like characters seen in the clouds of a vast sky, an echo from back when they Let The Power Fall, an echo from that last trip, echoes of itself, looping, shimmering, dreaming.

Best received on headphones and a clear, open mind....
