"Turbulence Colour" 2CD box
Autarkeia
Turbulence Colour is the tenth album of talented Swedish composer
Erik Jarl, containing two and a half hours of new, never released
sound material in two CDs. In terms of music, Erik Jarl remains loyal
to his original but dismal style. Very long, hypnotic tracks convey
unbearable, depressing and morbid states of human psyche. Turbulence
Colour is at the same time a journey into the grey matrix of anxiety
where the listeners are masterfully taken through the sickly labyrinths
of the author’s mind. The latest Erik Jarl’s release is
the top class drone psychocollage packed into a very elegant package.
Both albums total over 2 hours. Lim. to 500 copies
16.25$ U.S. |

"Breaking Point Syndrome" CD
Autarkeia
Breaking Point-Syndrome is the ninth album of Erik Jarl, Swedish industrial
genius. Just like his previous albums, this one radiates the remarkably
icy, mercilessly depressing and languorous as well as claustrophobic
mood. To reach the effect, Erik simply generates unique industrial
sound. His each accord smacks of unexplainable anxiety, the feeling
of degenerate future, drug-induced reality, poisoning and exceptionally
technocratic character. Jarl music can be qualified as psychedelic
industrial/drone, while the album Breaking Point Syndrome is an excellent
example of the Scandinavian mastership in creating esp. persuasive
and visionary sonic landscapes.

"Wound Profile" CD
Autarkeia
The album Wound Profile by Erik Jarl, the genius of Swedish electronics,
previously released in a cassette, has now, after some processing
of the record, come out as a CD in a very elegant digipack. The album
consists of two record sessions: one of them (6 tracks) was recorded
by Erik in 1999, while the other (one track) was recorded 18 months
later. Those closely following the music of the Scandinavian master
may recognise the early sound of Erik’s compositions in Wound
Profile album that at certain points even remind the first IRM records.
Clear-cut, abnormal, psychedelic rhythmics, its distorted, massive
repetitions, analogous loops of synthetic sound generate the emotions
of anxiety, morbidity and degeneration. Unlike Erik’s later
music marked for its abstract structure and closer to drone style,
the album Wound Profile can be characterised by emotional straightforwardness
and brutality. Limited edition 500 copies.

Jarl has already taken the world of dark electronic music by storm

Swedish noise-industrial underground. With his solo project, he has
once again risen to the throne and stands strong as a force to be
reckoned with. SEALED VOID takes the listener drifting past dying
suns, through black holes and beyond, to a place where the universe
takes human form.

JEFF
PEARCE "To The Shores Of Heaven" CD
(hyp2022) Hypnos
Those who have heard previous Jeff Pearce masterworks
such as Vestiges, Daylight Slowly and The Hidden Rift may find it
hard to believe that on his latest album, Pearce has taken a quantum
leap. Still working entirely with processed electric guitar, and still
fusing a delicately expressive musicality with a lustrous trademark
smoothness unsurpassed in ambient music, Pearce has refined his art
to yet a greater clarity. Deep and yet radiant with light, melancholy
yet optimistic, achingly sad yet eurphoric, To the Shores of Heaven
unquestionably earns Pearce a spot among the great names of ambient
& atmospheric music. This recent description on on the Space Music
mailing list by Bill Beck gives some sense of the rare beauty of this
recording: "with 'The Shores...' he has envisioned and created
themes that have gone a step beyond anything he has ever produced
before. Melancholic, ethereal, stunningly poignant; 'The Shores...'
transcends hearing, enshrouding all senses, creating feelings of sadness
and joy, beauty and celestial ascension.... The music of Jeff Pearce
shimmers like sunshine through rain."

PEARCE "The Light Beyond" CD
(hyp2132) Hypnos
His followup to the beloved & highly-acclaimed
2000 album TO THE SHORES OF HEAVEN, THE LIGHT BEYOND shares its predecessor's
basis of smooth, guitar-based atmospheric clouds, both dark and light.
But THE LIGHT BEYOND explores more abstract, open- ended and free-form
compositions, with one track almost forty-four minutes in duration,
in the midst of three shorter pieces. This may be Pearce's most developed
and sonically complex work yet, a fact that is truly amazing considering
that THE LIGHT BEYOND was entirely improvised in the "Star's
End" studios of WXPN radio in Philadelphia. One man with a guitar
and some electronic processing boxes has created, in real time and
for the benefit of a live listening audience, work of a substance
and depth, not to mention sonic richness, that ranks with his finest
studio-recorded works. Listeners who loved Pearce's previous work
-- in addition to TO THE SHORES OF HEAVEN there were DAYLIGHT SLOWLY,
VESTIGES, TENDERNESS AND FATALITY and THE HIDDEN RIFT, as well as
Pearce's collaboration with fellow Hypnos artist Vidna Obmana, TRUE
STORIES -- will find in THE LIGHT BEYOND the next phase in Pearce's
evolution.
