Dissolved :: Tangled Prismatics (Daddy Tank)

Tangled Prismatics is an abridged sound-escape, one that allows the listener to venture into a psychedelic electronic branch of music that is at once abstract but easily buried into the subconscious with colorful and dissolved patterns. Dissolved resides in these lost corridors—crafting crunchy mood shifted beats and tangled notes that are essential aural transmissions.

Dissolved continues in his quest of creating fuzzy soundtracks to imaginary, dreamlike states. The IDM flurries are still very much intact on Tangled Prismatics for Daddy Tank—home to a few previous releases—and unearths familiar electrical shades wrapped around broken melodic bits.

A noticeable difference is the artists’ use of vocal and sampled voice recordings/treatments as displayed on “Tinctoria Drift” and “Emulsive Winter.” Nostalgic memories are recollected and shuffled in small windows as evidenced on the blurry guitar and glitchy remnants of “Europium Tetrakis Patterns.” Dissolved resides in these lost corridors—crafting crunchy mood shifted beats and tangled notes that are essential aural transmissions. Disjointed percussion and gritty rhythms fall by the wayside on “An Asteriated Thought,” a mechanized cosmic vehicle balanced by cacophonous bells. On a whole other planetary orbit “Spinal Rain” unveils chant strands not unlike Dead Can Dance, only to be punctuated by brisk synthesizer accents and lost signals in the mist. “Topaz Candles” is perhaps the closest to past releases, its emotively charged melodies, soft crackles, distant horns, and glitch tentacles are sublime. The epic “Oasis Of Green Ink” alone seems be the catch all theme for this album—an ambient ebb and flow that migrates into the far recesses of the mind and delivering with it a beautiful genre-smorgasbord that has no apparent start or end points. But if there was a title to describe the above-mentioned sonic miniatures, “Dream Cloak” would be it—an eerie musical channel featuring odd samples and lost voices tethered into similar dreams that are confusing and confounding.

In all Tangled Prismatics is an abridged sound-escape, one that allows the listener to venture into a psychedelic electronic branch of music that is at once abstract but easily buried into the subconscious with colorful and dissolved patterns.
