Fully immersive heavy drone. The finest of little "b" boris. Best drumless album since the Solomon series! Slow, creeping heaviness, massive, detailed, rich. A lot of power balanced exquisitely in the air.
I adore Park Jiha's first two albums, but The Gleam occupies a different space for me. I feel weightless, suspended in a state of perpetual spine tingle. Beautifully composed in her own musical language, Park uses an array of traditional instruments to meditate on light and its meaning in our lives.
Breathtaking. This is by far the most hauntingly interesting new piece I've heard in some time. Shirioshi's approach to constructed soundscapes is delicate, yet fully immersive and engrossing. The work is sublime, mediative and fully grounded in the Touch universe, with delicate saxophone work floating at the top.
