    I bought this album for one reason: its second CD starts at track 11. Other than that I really didn't have any reason at all, but I really needed it to test some software I'd written. In retrospect, I would've been better off just burning a CD myself and putting some random music on it, because this album is just not my kind of thing. If you don't like New Age music, stay far away from Swarm of Drones!

    Bomb double disc!!!
  • Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2005
    A previous reviewer noted the issue with disc 2, and I thought I'd comment on it. The two discs of this set feature tracks numbered 1-20, with track 1-10 on disc 1, and 11-20 on disc 2. Literally, if you insert this disc into a drive that can handle it, you'll see that the first track on disc 2 is displayed as "11". This is compliant with the red book standard, but many CD players have trouble playing disc 2. Computer drives seem to be the worst offenders. This otherwise excellent compilation loses a point because of this excessive cleverness.

    "Swarm of Drones" is the second volume of Asphodel Records' "Drones" trilogy. It does an excellent job of bridging the transition from the dark sombient music of the preceding "The Throne of Drones" to the more adventurous acousmatic material of the final volume, "Storm of Drones".
    A quick glance at the contributors to this 2-CD set gives some indication of the eclectic nature of the compilation. The Sound Traffic Control regulars - Xopher Davidson, Gregory Lenczycki, Naut Homun and the Iso Ambient Orchestra - are as heavily in evidence as one would expect. As, indeed, are sombient specialists of the likes of Steve Roach, Robert Rich, Robert Fripp, Maryanne Amacher. Amongst them, though, are such acousmatic luminaries as Michel Redolfi and Ned Bouhalassa, as well as artists for whom it is impossible (and equally pointless) to even attempt to pigeon-hole, such as Janis Mattox and James Plotkin.
    The music in this compilation is all of such a stunningly high standard (and the collection so well presented) that it is hard to point out any favourite moments from amongst it all. Steve Roach is as brilliant as ever, of course. If I had to pick, though, I think I'd point to Michel Redolfi's "Palm Canyon" (a single movement from a larger work, "Desert Tracks") with its seamless segue into Robert Rich's "Buoyant on Motionless Deluge" as presenting the best offering on Disc 1. Although "Calming Sorrow" from Insect Funeral and "Soli Deo Gloria" by Janis Mattox are definitely not to be missed, either.
    The second CD of the set contains the heavier weight material of the collection, although once again it is all of such a consistently high standard that it is hard to nominate favourites. Gregory Lenczycki's "Variable State Optical Amplifier" is perhaps the apex here, while Maryanne Amacher provides the moments of the greatest intensity.
    As with all of the other volumes in this series, this set of disc provides some of the very best examples of music from the subterranean sound world of the sombre ambient drone. A highly recommended 145-minutes worth.
