"Experimedia gives us the first of two end of year treats and this one comes in the shape of a rather marvellous collaboration from Billy Gomberg and Jason Corder. They appear to have brought out the best in each other I’d say with this heartwarming selection of carefully created pieces of organic electronic music par excellent. Both artists are capable of the musical and the abstract and the balance here between those two styles is superb. Combining pure melodic work that’s backed up with incredibly detailed atmospheres, you can sit back, relax and enjoy this to its fullest extent. Guitars, pianos and electronics work together with found sounds and naturalistic moments to give each piece its own narrative, yet it never feels forced as the flow of the music around those passages is so deft and fluid that it all fits together perfectly. For the most part the gentle sense of serenity is very calming but it’s tempered with those slightly darker moments that both artists are so good at. Shimmering sounds, effervescent textures that are full of interesting sounds (from long drawn out drones to frankly superb percussive sound effects) and a sense of purity. An album to enjoy then on this great label. Definitely recommended."
