Encounters E.P – Soon to be released.
This is the final album from
Frithland who constantly inspires to bring the power of his engaging mind
out in broad daylight, through the power of his ambient music.
Genre: Electronic/Ambient/Trance
Entropic Slip
This track just glides into oblivion sending shivers down your spine
as it takes hold. Concentrating on notable running scales of powerful rapture
this is an irresistible confrontation.
Ionise
Holding a sharper edge than previous but still manages to run with
the intriguing hues of blatant intrigue that sits on the soft waves of rhythms.
Synchronicity
Again very different to the last two tracks and is a lot more
vivacious with its endless stream of pulsating rhythmic provocation. Superb
track!
Nano
A very haunting track mixed with spacey sounds that once again
produce that element of tingling down the spine, as it twists and turns into a
conglomerate of spikey notes and bubbling undertones.
Tidal
A slower and mesmerising feed of singular notes played out amid a
deep bass line. Openly impressive as it ebbs and flows into a striking and
skilled composition.
Read Only
You can almost see the outstretched fingers gliding sensually over
the keys on this track seeing it interlock with a liquid gold sprinkling of
unhurried magic.
The Way
Sparse singular notes sound quite haunting and sombre as they play
out. It is almost like hearing a shrill voice as the music plays further in its
conquest to connect to the aural senses. Although, not one of my favourite
pieces, but saying that put it as the opening to a scary movie and it is a
whole new ball game.
Netfire
Solid drum beats and a squally keyboard rhythms jump to life here
and produce some spikey contagious teases – highly gripping and sensuous and
worthy of repeat plays because of its catchy rhythmic sways.
Chronicle
Deep bubbling plays alongside a high pitched synth that expels crisp
notes to undulating rhythms surrounded by a myriad of haunting space sounds.
To Sum up:
This album holds the heart of Frithland
in its outstretched hand and issues a warm feeling of ambient glow around it.
Partaking in rich melodies and striking hues of trance like atmospheric lures.
The power of this music can be felt strongly as it surges to
conclusion. Developing a strong electronic bond with space and time and has
more than achieved its aim here.
My only gripe as such would be that as Frithland has worked extremely hard producing such amazingly in
depth creations in one year, it is hard to imagine what the next album will
sound like and whether any further steps can be attained, although with 25
years-worth of experience, no doubt Frithland
will surprise us all – here’s hoping!
9½/10
