5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting Ambience, March 12, 2008
This review is from: Melancholia (MP3 Download)
William Basinski has composed a collection of lovely and evocative impressionistic sonic images that remind me of some of the better works of Harold Budd.

5.0 out of 5 stars Half-remembered melodies of your past self, July 5, 2009
By 
This review is from: Melancholia (Audio CD)
"Melancholia" traces a gentle, eerie path through a selection of aural vignettes that together form a sort of mental scrapbook of musical thoughts.

William Basinski employs a method of music-making that is in time with the memory-evoking style of Boards Of Canada. It unfolds and evaporates in sparse and confounding waves, but with the gentleness of Loscil or Marsen Jules. What might have begun as a cycle of simple piano melodies and incomplete passages becomes transformed by distance and perspective.

Fans of Akira Rabelais' "Eisoptrophobia" should pay particular attention.
