Circle of Pines - Darkwater Ponds [Dark Winter 30]
13. December 2006 – 23:57 by
A new release on US netlabel Dark Winter which is specialising in dark ambient and experimental releases. And these eight tracks are no exception. Circle of Pines is a collaborative effort of Seetyca and Samsa aka label owner Nathan Larson.
While listening to new recordings I usually think about descriptions, moods, and all that stuff that relates to the recording. Though this time the label name is the description already: Dark Winter. It perfectly describes what this release is about. It is cold, droning, dark.
The production is perfect, crystal clear and it certainly adds to the dark mood. Hardly any hints of warmer sounds throughout the more than 60 minutes. However the soundscapes created by Circle of Pines won’t leave you unimpressed. Echoes, sweeping winds, drops of water hitting the ground,… and everything blended to an intense and not easily consumable amalgam.
If you have listened to any ambient release so far and liked it you will love this one.
