Coldstream
Alarums

A Norman Records recommendation (25th September 2009)

...according to our Brett on 24 September 2009.

Under the Spire do those releases in recycled card digipaks housing little 3" CDs suspended on internal nipples and this one is by Coldstream. Alarums contains twenty minutes of elegant, classically inflected drone which gives me the impression of drifting along in a dark, empty swimming pool while a small orchestra plays a sombre piece on a floor above, the sounds just reaching me through ventilation shafts and rusty grilles. Quite haunting really.
