Robert Rich & Alio Die Fissures

Well it rather looks as though this month is a bit of a dark music special, what with a new album by TUU, and two Robert Rich re-issues we now have a new collaboration between Robert Rich and Alio Die. Haunting other worldly deep synth drones are the order of the day. It is supposed to conjure up journeys into the subterranean and this it does superbly. Strange hypnotic rhythms give the whole thing some structure where that is needed but overall the feel is of great depth, huge caverns and a rather eerie peace. The album must also take credit by calling one of the tracks 'The Divine Radiance of Invertebrates'! If you are into dark space music you should love this album. If you like highly rhythmic stuff or a good melody then forget it. (DL)
