Robert Rich joins underground sound design legend B. Lustmord (aka Brian Williams) for an extended journey inspired by the title and the hypnotic minimalism of Andrei Tarkovisky's mesmerizing future/fiction film Stalker. "Stalker" leads into lands of isolation and deep meditation in a delirium of three dimensional sensations and of magnificent, realistic sounds. It causes alterations in one’s consciousness until one loses all reference to time and space. If we now know that for Lustmord there is no other artistic reality, for Rich this is a long awaited return to his origins, to his experiments with the lucid dreaming, to the unforgettable atmospheres in "Sunyata" – his magical first album – and to the dimension-less trance of "Trances" and "Drones".
Extensions beyond the realm of sight, frequencies from other worlds, wistful voices that are lost in the infinite before they can express their desperation – all these make "Stalker" a black hole where everything is about to end, a fearsome corner of the Universe, a weapon of the Apocalypse.
This is a psycho acoustic exploration of immense importance that renders all the other works of the sort obsolete and sets new standards of quality in the field of electronic music. A masterpiece.
