The Dissolving Orchestra feature Ex Hood, Remote Viewer, Moteer people. I could really leave the review there as that's normally enough to send you in sweaty morbid palpitations. But no... as I've got 5 minutes to write this here goes. It's a self titled album of weird darkness comprised of samples and electronics. Very atmospheric and dark sounding with both it's disembodied hands stuck into its filthy brains. I don't really know what means... If you want to know what it sounds then it's just like the incidental music in the Chris Morris disturb-o-thon that is Blue Jam. Weird clicks and twinkles over an ambient darkness filled with strange sounds of non existent insect creatures. Underneath the weirdness though there's some distinct melody which makes it really listenable and elevates it from being a potential load of toss to a work of brilliance. This is cocking marvellous!

The album is improvised group
ambient with the emphasis on immersion and evocation.
It features, as well as myself, Craig Tattersall
(Ex-Hood, The Remote Viewer, The Boats, and label boss
of Moteer) and Johnny Russell, one half of cult
ambient electronica act The Clickits and was mastered
by Miles Whittaker aka Pendle Coven. The CD itself
features full colour artwork, four panel booklet on
stiff card with a hand cut insert and fully printed
grayscale on white CD with diamond silver base, the
whole thing is packaged in a heavy duty plastic
wallet.
