Dark Sky Alliance - Interdwell - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

On InchCaravan to the Stars,Inch Dark Matter Halo (a.k.a. Monte Cimino) teams up with legendary bassist/producer Bill Laswell to create a landscape of warm low-end dub and dark ethereal textures that float towards the heavens. Laswell's signature bass sound is organically interwoven with Cimino and Sneeringer's analog and digital textures, ominous droning violins conjured up by Whitley, and pulsating beats created by Laswell and Cimino; resulting in the dynamic interplay of acoustic and digital synthesis that ebbs and flows between tension, , and the unknown. Meticulously crafted from infinite possibilities of sound and feeling. Improvised texture music. Disintegration. Deconstruction. Nods to the past. Primordial memory. Focused energy towards the future. Clairvoyance. Time is that which ends.1. Waiting in the Void 2. Black Aether Transmission 3. Caravan to the Stars

D.A.R.K. is an unlikely collaboration between Dolores O'Riordan, Andy Rourke and Olé Koretsky. Dolores, known famously as the singer of The Cranberries, has sold over 40 million albums and also worked with the likes of Angelo Badalamenti and Jah Wobble. Andy Rourke is best known as the inimitable bass player in one of the most important British bands ever, The Smiths - he has also worked with Pretenders, Ian Brown, Sinead O'Connor and Badly Drawn Boy. The third and final member is Olé Koretsky, a little known songwriter, producer and DJ based in New York.

Dark Sky Reservation, L.Y.R.'s third commercial , begins with the idea that the furthest points of light - stars - can only be seen in the dark. It's a kind of contradiction that finds musical expression in these new tracks, the band always navigating towards sightings of hopefulness and constancy in an increasingly bewildering and storm-battered world. Dark sky reservations are those regions of the landscape where light pollution is discouraged and even outlawed, to allow scientists and casual stargazers to peer into the cosmos and see the glory of the constellations, patterns of light that have entranced and mystified us for hundreds of thousands of years. Ten years since their formation L.Y.R. are creating some of their finest and most accomplished work. Dark Sky Reservation follows a decade of inventiveness and world building that has included two full length studio albums, a concept record about a street in Barnsley, an orchestral ode to the Shipping Forecast for the BBC Proms, commissions for the National Trust, Durham Brass Festival and more.
