"Appearances is their second collaborative composition, building upon the solid foundations of Distant Shadows from Spring 2011. This new work forms an uninterrupted story of images and visions varying from bright expansive spaces to mysterious dark grounds, wind-swept caverns, and pools of pure emotional depth. Appearances is an immersive, expressive ambient release that is both lush and timeless, and will certainly reward enthusiasts of deep listening."
The Circular Ruins is always musically driven, always sonically rich, always a poetic voyage, and always thoroughly engaging. We Leave Everything Behind is no exception.
JACOB NEWMAN and DEVIN UNDERWOOD:
The Vivid Unmapped
Now available on DataObscura.
Fresh, free-flowing dreamscapes in a minimal contemporary style ... immersive drones laced with field recordings, creative electronics and piano. It's a delight !
And a very worthy album to celebrate
our 50th DataObscura release.
ROBERT DAVIES: Whispering Grove
Now available on DataObscura.
Possibly Robert's most perfect pastoral album to date. Crafted with an unassuming simplicity and deftness, this is music that brings romantic visions of languishing within secluded bowers of intoxicating scents and lush humid overgrowth.
ANTHONY PAUL KERBY and TOMAS WEISS: Distant Shadows Now available on Construct Anthony Paul Kerby and Tomas Weiss are famililar names to followers of quality ambient electronica. Anthony has many respected recordings under the names Lammergeyer, Nunc Stans, and The Circular Ruins. Tomas most recently recorded as Nautic Depths and El Hadra, and is especially well-known for his deep drone work with Mathias Grassow.
Distant Shadows is their first collaboration and, as might be expected, it is something very special. Expertly crafted, rich with detail and brooding undertones, the work is composed as one vast and immersive journey through elaborate sonic landscapes and northern visions of isolation, serenity, subtle powers and hidden depths.
This is the premier release on the new collaborative Construct label. DataObscura will host the download release, El Culto (Germany) will provide the physical CD release (digipak).
NOTE - If you buy any physical CD you can also have a free download of the same album, just send us a quick email after ordering and we will send you a download link via email.

ALBUM SPOTLIGHT
DESCRIPTION WITHOUT PLACE
Filaments(2008)
A collaboration between Entia Non and APK. A remarkable flow of creativity, ripe with juicy sonic details and moody atmospheres, woven through with subtle melodic threads. Contemporary, glitchy, detailed, and musically absorbing, this is a work to come back to again and again.
"James McDougall and Anthony Paul Kerby here summon a dark, restless album, full of suspended amorphous masses of synthetic sound and plain melodic motifs eddying in a charged, reverberant space. Often it is as if one were trapped in the undergrowth of a glacial garden where some tiny creature just out of sight is gasping its last breath - a garden of delights where blurred memory and desiccated loneliness watch their own breath ..." Max Schaefer track 5: Sunday Morning
NOTE - If you buy any physical CD you can also have a free download of the same album, just send us a quick email after ordering and we will send you a download link via email.
