...according to our Phil on 21 May 2009.

We've not had anything new in from Milieu in a while and I was wondering when we were gonna here something new. Lo and behold a brand spanky new CD arrives called 'Brittle Paper Cathedrals'. This is one of his proper ambient albums. The likes of which he's not done in since the marvellous 'A Warm Wooden Hollow' (a former album of the week) and it's lovely!! This is some deliciously warm sounding droney ambience with textures and layers that build and create some really beautiful pieces. Only so many words I can use to describe ambient music but this one ticks all the relevant boxes for it to be a worthy purchase. Limited to 100 copies!!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

So I've spent some time crafting my newest ambient mantlepiece, and for those of you who liked my previous Infraction releases, Of The Apple or Brother, BPC should deliver. I haven't made music like this in about three years (A Warm Wooden Hollow was completed in 2006) and after some time off of the 'polite ambient music' circuit I have a renewed interest and hopefully a fresher outlook.

Musically this material consists of three 'suites' made up of clusters of separated tracks. Meandering (yet pretty) melodies and tones swirl around with barely any repetitions, and organ pedalbass-lines anchor the chord changes down beneath that. There's also lots of crumbly textures and muted dynamics and even a few very straightforward organ melodies. Very sad and very distant, much like my previous ambient output.
