Soft Ash
Dorobo/Darkwave
This is a fascinating experimental album. The album as a whole focuses on lethal fogs throughout history, and the sounds represent that in different ways. The liner notes briefly detail the incidents and the various musical approaches. This narrative gives a great deal of form and understanding to an album of well-constructed atmospheres, sound collage, and some scored music. This way, not only does it sound interesting, it makes sense. Very good, in concept and execution. Darkwave, P.O. Box 166155, Chicago, IL 60616
