Dark Stars in the Dazzling Sky pt.4

With this instalment we gradually start our exploration of the infinite emptiness of space, black holes and time bending energy. But watch out, while we will continue to move away from the sonic attack of exploding stars and spiralling galaxies and into the darkest corners of space, we will encounter some strange and mind baffling places. The bizarre and alienating sounds of Pamelia Kurstin’s theremin for example. Quite possibly one of my favourite records of this year so far. With this, the overall feeling of this part is rather eerie, gloomy and alienating. Just the right preparation for the next part which will be much darker and time absorbing.

You are right, that Pamelia Kurstin track is amazing! I hope the rest of the album is as good…
Only one way to find out… ;-)
