2221 S.Electroambient Space:
Unfolding slowly, deliberately, patiently, the eight untitled sections of Mantram drift by.Whether playing this softly as background or loudly so you can feel the drumbeats in your bones, this is music designed to make an impact.The lengthy fifth and sixth parts are especially good meditative music, though the entire disc certainly scores well in that regard.As is so often the case on projects involving Steve, contemporary and primitive sounds are blended effortlessly into an otherworldly ethereal sound.One of the best ambient CDs of 2004, without a doubt.Sonic Curiosity:
