Andrew Chalk - Crescent (Robot Records, 2000)




1 Crescent (3:19)
2 Old Hive (6:03)
3 Wharf (5:26)
4 Harvest (8:11)
5 Again Morning (11:07)
6 Turais (2:56)
7 Lost Voices (7:14)

Les quatres premiers morceaux sont des rééditions des cassettes Crescent et Harvest... Drones de guitare tout en profondeur....

It's great to find that Mr. Chalk is capable of such beauty as this. I'm very used to him in his Mirror projects, most of which have a (pleasantly) dark and sombre character. This album, however, takes his guitar work to a different plane. The tracks are suffused with a mellow depth and character, peppered with rustlings and cast in a cool blue light. I'm somewhat reminded of The Pearl, although they're horses of entirely different colors. I think it's in how this music frames a definite space and time yet without any context or purpose thereof. It's all very soothing and lucid. There were a good number of copies of this disc to be found when I grabbed mine, but I haven't seen many since.
