Dr. NoiseM - The CDr A-B-C: W [Dr. NoiseM Tapes]

Another fresh one from the mighty Dr. NoiseM is "W", the newest sequel to his ongoing  'The CDr A-B-C'-series in which he has been exploring the fascination of Noize- / Death Ambient-focused one track albums for 22 consecutive months up to this point. For this part of the series Dr. NoiseM once again opens in a more balanced, ambient'ish vein with darker aspects being present yet being outweighed by blurred melodic pads and slow moving harmonies which are present throughout the whole course of the album although seemingly subdued by waves of noisy buildups and a growling, deep bass drone pulse from approx. minute 20 onwards for a while but finally are reappearing like a blurred glow from afar, like a pale sun behind fast moving clouds whilst one senses nothing but ultimate emptiness and greyscale desparation lurking behind what to us is the thin line of the horizon obscured by wafting fog.
