...according to our on 13 November 2008.

Steve Moore is the man from Zombi and sometimes he does things by himself when his friend doesn't want to come over for chips and analogue fun. One of these things is called 'Vaalbara', released as part of Noiseville's Outer Bounds of Sound series, which features two satisfyingly long tracks of sinister, ambient droning. I ran to review this because I said it sounded like a baking desert planet with a sun made of Johann Sebastien Bach's face rising over it in slow motion, a simile that I was really pleased with and felt it'd be a shame not to immortalize in virtualinternetcyberWWWdigiprint. If you like Tangerine Dream or old-school sci-fi soundtracks made by furry-faced men twiddling synths the size of houses this should float the dinghy that's adrift in the sea of pain you call your mind.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
