Chroniques et points de vue:

From :
What goes around comes around ambient. That's the message from a third generation of electronica artists who were just leaving the womb when Brian Eno's early works were being diffused in the 1970s. They were barely teens when the 0rb rolled forth in the '90s. But new artists like Boards of Canada, the Album Leaf, and Explosions in the Sky are taking those early ambient primers and adding geometries of glitch and dream guitar to the mix, creating a melodic brand of ethereal music with an edge. Marconi Union, a Manchester duo, follow suit on a CD that travels in cinematic melancholy and textural malaise. Their songs build slowly, emerging out of a flattened landscape of static and stillness to attain a quietly triumphal beauty. Percussion is almost subliminal in journeys that pulse more than groove. lt sometimes gets ominous, with an ostinato bass growl prowling through a Blade Runner landscape on 'lnter.' But usually they generate a quiet awe, like the slow build of 'Sleepless.' Expect to hear tracks from Distance in soundtracks and commercials near you soon. --John Diliberto
