Last one from moi is the rather profoundly titled 'Beyond The Sea Lies The Stars' from
Milieu.
This sounds well cinematic and is absolute chilled, floaty, spacey
ambient bliss. This will make you feel like your floating in embryonic
fluid and is absolutley gorgeous. We have the limited edition 2CD
version that comes with 'Beyond The Stars Lies The Sea ' see what
they've done there? This is produced by Brian Grainger and is on
InfractionRecords. This is my release of the week and if you
don't buy it then you must be a bit chicken oriental. Stunning.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
What their label says...
Mining a provenance of sounds from a distant & disbanded orchestra Milieu reassembles then quietly broadcasts the collected notes into a wide expanse. It is his first full ambient offering to be heard from a library of many hours of sound experimentation in drone, ambient and lush found sound litanies. Beyond the Sea is shrouded in distant fog…there are lights that seem to appear briefly and then are calmly eclipsed. There is a fascination in this nebulous balance of sonorous melodies from decades ago, almost hopeful, yet an undercurrent of a somber theme that is draped over the entire composition…
This is American composer Milieu’s first proper release – following two limited edition releases for the Belgian label U-Cover. Influences include The Caretaker’s ‘Haunted Ballroom’ and from William Basinski’s ‘Disintegration Loops’ series.
The first 150 copies will include a bonus CDR (INFX 019) entitled “Beyond the Stars Lies the Sea”. (not available now)
