I'm quite fond of the Blackest Rainbow label. Over the years there's been some decent releases as they tread along the path of the experimental folk/noise netherworld. Here's 'V' which is some chap called Vincent. It would make much less sense if he was called Brian or something. I suppose if he was called Brian Vanderburgh then that would make sense again. Christ I'm confusing myself. 'The Chanting Path' is one of the gentler releases on the label. Lots of tinkles and drones combine with lots of echo and the occasional vocal to make a very spectral sounding CD. Yup... ghosties. This is well lovely and if you fancy a bit of something else this week then I'd recommend this as that something else. 50 copies on and we've got a handful of 'em...Whilst chilling on a train I got an email from this guy Vincent who is "V" about maybe doing a release for him and I checked it out and damn it sounded good... like some kinda folk-spectral-ether drone, really nice... after many disasters with masters and file downloads, and months on this is finally coming out... its one helluva hazy starry summer night trip.
