Product Description

ASUNDER is the debut release by Nathan Youngblood. Carved from dense harmonically rich acoustic and electronic material, this set of tone zones move at glacial speed, hovering very close to the Earth's surface for the duration. Emotionally contained in a sphere of isolation, the gentle tension effectively holds your interest subliminally, and continues to permeate into your physical and mental environment. Nathan Youngblood delivers a great example of how close the adjacent styles of Soundscapes, Drones and (Dark) Ambient can come when guided by the hands of a fearless musician. In its heart, this is a perfect example of the latter genre, with most of the material tending towards the ominous, the visceral and the terrifyingly oblique. And yet, Youngblood has a knack for dispersing the black clouds his outback-visions have evoked to allow for moments of peace and harmony. This approach seems to be inspired by movements of nature and the individual's fragility under extreme conditions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent CD with Steve Roach, May 22, 2009

By	D.M.K "smart reader" (Las Vegas, Nevada United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Asunder (MP3 Download)

This is an excellent CD especially if you like Steve Roach (whom is on the CD) and Robert Rich. The music is otherwordly and excellent for trance, trance work and deep relaxation. Remains interesting all the way thought (a lot of spacey/trance music does not.) Very good addition to a collection.
