Highpoint Lowlife are back with another CD in DVD packaging. Bigger is better and all that. This one's by Erstlaub  'On Becoming' and is some spaced out electronic soundscapes and ambient drones. After trying to skip to the next track I realise that this is one 43 min epic drone odyssey. Lots of subtle details and intricate bits appear throughout to keep the journey an interesting listening experience. Very good this one. Ltd to 100 copies all hand numbered and all.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

With previous appearances on our 'Some Paths Lead Back Again' compilation under the name of Daigoro, Dave Fyans, here under his Esrtlaub pseudonym, submerges your mind in an epic journey of digital processing and dense soundscaping, by turns beautiful, stark, and exhilarating.

Easily one of our best releases and one of the most rewarding listens. One piece over 43mins, 49seconds builds up and slowly unfolds like an otherworldly synthesis of opposites, austere yet delicate, brooding yet uplifting.

Limited to 100 physical copies, housed in a white DVD case with artwork designed by Mathieu Ranson
