Australian ambient comes in the color of Sacred Black; freeform dronescapes from Amongst Myselves are amorphous and mesmerizing.
The boiling sonic liquids of Dawn 1958 (3:12) sometimes pulse with rippling energies, but mostly just stew in ethereal wonder which seeps into Morning of the Earth (10:00) where skyborne streamers arc across woofer-thrumming deepness; eventually faraway drums are discerned through the glare. Twinkly little tonal progressions traipse over the stormy cloudboiler Sea of Rains, until they are swallowed into its seething dark gusts of organic-yet-unnatural environments.
The piano-accented drones of The Shores of the Cosmic Ocean precedes the sometimes-twangy steambath auras of entrancingly shapeless Argo Navis. As one might expect, The Demon Haunted World exists in a creepier realm where nervously shifting rays writhe with cinematic moodiness. Warmer Returning Home features softly strummed strings that rise and fall over smooth contours of glowing radiance.
Eight tracks (51 minutes) of lovely audio-ephemera unfurls with easy-to-fall-into fluidity. Steve Roberts of Amongst Myselves forges immersive new ear-environments, bathed in Sacred Black. Very nice!
