In his new album Displacer (Michael Morton) makes "possessed by ghosts" IDM, ambient, trip-hop, which came quickly into the skin.
"In Limbo" the feeling seemed really descend into hell - gently, slowly and quietly, under of accompaniment of "ghostly" keyboards, cello and sampled voices which are like from a hospital room.
"I'm on my way back down, find my empty space. And when i hit the ground below, i'm a take you with me", and disco beats with synth-bass line, plus a "blow away" atmospheric keyboards (such as in the slow stuff from PAX "High Speed Digital Spirit Processing" album) and dubstep bass in "Falling".
The last track "Ice Cold" is a drone / ambient at the beginning, synths again delving into interplanetary space to form an exciting scale. And there's guitar, which made little sad notes. The trip is oceanic. Stocks are the most important things, because you go away, and there is nice. I also feel it. The longest composition on the album this is. 7 minutes and 5 seconds. It brings a sense of immortality, up there somewhere you degrade and molecules from you forever circling orbit, and enjoy the extensive atmospheric. NUMB (yes, those same Canadian industrial fighters) in the lighter version without drums and noise. Ambient on a cosmic level. Very well make synth / piano parties of Displacer. My only remark is toward the drum programming, which at times it's pretty sterile. But with so ambient, atmospheric oriented music, it is not so big minus. That my statement is slightly undermined, because the programming drum fits into the overall picture of the "Radioactive", in which is felt - dub, again cosmic (manic at that) and a livelier pace close to breakbeat. Lifting composition, before blurry "Orchid". Which reveals the entire ambient extensive structure and has a ballad (yes, there in electro music have that stuff), because here piano and rhythm they "call" you to a trip, and to unwind. Ambient, trip-hop reminiscent of the best years of Boards Of Canada. IDM straight without a glitch distortion in "Ghost Planet". If the concept of the album has to do with its title, it yes, the feeling of most songs is "night" and as if I'm wandering around a panopticum of intergalactic space with all its details and flying elements. There is no darkness reigns, just darkness with sparkling things, whic I encountered on the road.
The album is a quality ambient, IDM, atmospheric electro, which is nice to hear if you're and fans like electro music. Is varied and creates solitude and path to "travel", with very good synth / piano parties, in my humble opinion.
Come, dive into "night gallery" and tell me what you saw, heard thereafter. I know it will be interesting.
Perfect ambient, just with more ideas a perfect.
