Stargazer???s Assistant, The – The Other Side Of The Island A-Library CD {Aurora Borealis}

Guapo percussionist David J. Smith and Miasma & the Carousel of Dead Horses cohort Daniel O??? Sullivan adopt samples, electronics, tapes & vocals plus harmonium, electric & acoustic guitar & sparse pounding clumps to envision this homage to the earth and its archival layers of time imprints & geological history prior to its reemergence as coal & the catalyst for the destructive Industrial Revolution.?? Basically this CD serves as a sonic illustration for these geological transitions & the exploits of human kind.?? It has this tainted atmospheric echoing sound sculpture.?? This breaches on dark ambient but with a slightly freakier experimental sphere of influence.?? The Other Side of the Island seems to bustle with clicks & miniscule groans, metallic tinges and psychedelic drones.?? Pretty unnerving at times but overall just extended sickly hovering atmospherics & low buzzing post-apocalyptic harbingers accent by numerous spacious effects.?? It???s best just to listen now & paint your own picture.??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
