...according to our Ant on 26 August 2010.
Cindytalk is somewhat of a rotating cast centering around Gordon Sharp, who I thought came across as being a wonderful spirit in his recent interview in The Wire. These recordings were created between 2003-2010. This sounds great from the moment I hit play. It's difficult to tell if the sounds of waves across a shore are field recordings that have been processed or purely synthetic. Meanwhile ghostly tones hover above opener 'The Eighth Sea'. Onto 'We Are Without Words' which really grows building tension and a sort of slightly uncomfortable Euphoria. 'I Walk Until I Fall' has a howling digital wind with superb cracked electronics and glitched up textures. Then some super imaginative sound design enters the mix. I could waffle on all day about this so I'll stop now. Like any really decent electronic music, it is beyond words and should be experienced rather than talked about. Highly recommended.
Recordings by Gordon Sharp 2003 - 2010 at the mid-levels (hk) but mainly at Roi Vert, Okamoto Japan.
Mastered at Piethopraxis, June 2010

Up Here In The Clouds is the second installment in the new Cindytalk sound which started with last years The Crackle Of My Soul. Whereas Crackle was more of a blistering burner, Clouds has a fresher cooler sound to it, with longer tracks that slowly evolve in great patches of aural beauty.
The sound that Gordon Sharp and co create now is a unique blend of cracked electronics, near awkward ambient textures that always seem to flow smoothly like the most natural of sounds around, building up a great set of modern electronic music which closes with the child like melody of the title track.
Superbly packaged with new David Coppenhall artwork in a 4-panel digipack.
