Biosphere - Mysterier

Our Brian's a big fan of Biosphere apparently, but I'm not super familiar with this guy's somewhat intimidating body of work to be honest. On the first side of this 7” you've got a load of hiss and whistle before a swooshy noise that repeats and repeats over a bit of mid-end hiss and rumble. It's very relaxing and slightly industrial-sounding ambient tones. There's a looped run-out groove too, so if you don't want it to stop it doesn't have to. On the B side we actually have something that far more closely resembles music, with a neoclassical arrangement on what sounds like strings and oboe juxtaposed with an icy drone for a sinister soundtracky effect. I'm actually enjoying this piece much more than the A side. With its unsettling Morricone-meets-Moondog feel it'd make great entrance music for a band to come onstage to or something. It has an ominous feel like something's about to happen. Good 7”.
