Always concerned with pushing even further its explorations on the side of
‘’drone’’ drifts, angleREC adds to its parallel series, that is the MONDES
ELLIPTIQUES label, a new release in the form of the first official CD production
of Italian project NETHERWORLD. This CD has the rather evocative title of ''KALL
- The Abyss Where Dreams Fall''. Alessandro Tedeschi’s project previously gained
a fair share of attention with CDR or mini-CDR releases on fine labels such as
UMBRA, GEARS OF SAND, TAALEM/KOKESHIDISK! Alessandro also runs the GLACIAL
MOVEMENTS label, which gave us, in 2006, the acclaimed CRYOSPHERE compilation.
In a tradition that is anchored, at the same time, in avant-garde, ritual soundz
and dark ambient, with a typically Italian touch, NETHERWORLD gives a peculiarly
and elegantly organic and palpable feel to sounds that, in the hands of others,
would maybe fall flat …and it is as if the sound universe conjured by the magic
of NETHERWORLD was strangely…how could one say? OCCUPIED. Each moment, each
twist and turn of this sound adventure bears infinite richness and elasticity,
at all times …those are rather ‘busy’ sound layers but each of the elements has
sufficient breathing space and can differentiate itself from the other
surrounding components. This antagonism represents one of NETHERWORLD’s greatest
strengths. Another noteworthy antagonism: this tendency to propose us ambiences
that are excessively introspective, subdued, withdrawn into themselves, but
which, at the same time, expand, subtly dilate to occupy an incommensurable
space. Upon the first notes (or pulses??) of the opening track, ‘’KALL’’, this
infinite abyss, envelops us and our dreams sink, dissolve, reinvent
themselves…The sound propositions found on’’KALL’’ have enough movement and
density to please the ones fond of depth in their music, but the overall
‘purified’ feel will please the most discerning purist. For the occasion, MONDES
ELLIPTIQUES once again used the mastering talents of JOHN SELLEKAERS @ METARC
and it is CHRISTIAN SALETTE who put his savoir-faire in our service for the
design of the sleeve and images. Limited to 441 copies! Deluxe cardboard sleeve.
Released on Angle Records and available June 30th, 2007.
