The Diver by Lyonel Bauchet is a concept album in that it alludes to an undersea world many of us will never visit. The five tracks segue into a seamless piece of audio that explore the hidden vistas and dark spaces of the deep sea. Utilizing his vast musical experience Bauchet has created an astonishing sound world that ebbs and flows like the ocean currents. His use of the Buchla modular synth is evident with beautiful Vangelis like lead tones. Underneath the sequencer patterns and restrained percussion bubble & roil building to subtle climaxes before descending back in to the dark depths. Dive in to the sonic undersea world of Lyonel Bauchet and lose yourself in this stunning album.

Byron's InchHorizontal ManInch is a brisk opener with crunchy chording quickly joined by horns snagging the ear as the song limns an apolitical blues. His InchThe Line The LieInch is a haunted, lonely post break-up song that would have fit perfectly in Showtime's The Affair series. Peter's InchI'm Gonna WinInch sounds like the song's protagonist is trying fiercely to convince himself and feels a tad nervous.
