John Fowles - Magus - AUDIO BOOKS [CD]

Various Seasides is the long-awaited fifth album from Brooklyn based-composer Kevin Timothy O'Connor's band Talkdemonic. There is a paradoxically Empyrean homesickness to tracks like InchDream SilverInch which sounds like a far-off alien trying to speak to us about the whole universe with the musical language of recent or nearby popular culture we might understand. There are sweet, panoramic slices of Shostakovich-like brassy-synth blasts in the opening tracks InchBarely DawnInch and InchPlaylandInch, as well as allographic fantasy merging a vibe of Baudelaire's green meadows with haunting psychic dilation in InchGlass TowerInch; and too, the simple yet exotic alterity and fantastical mesmerization of InchNight Walk.Inch Various Seasides dazzles with it's distinguished ingenuity inspiring repeated listening, as it is a both beguiling and sophisticated enough to be played again and again, encompassing atmosphere or more casual appreciation. It is the best thing that Talkdemonic has released to date.
