Characteristic to his style and sound sculptures this album is massively devoted to power electronics with heavy fuzzed-out synth lines and occasional hypnotic, and eerily fixated arpeggios.
An experimental journey to the unknown
The electronic music wizardry of Caldon Glover returns with a solid, hypnagogic and spaced-out synthscaping album published in digital format on Component Recordings. Characteristic to his style and sound sculptures this album is massively devoted to power electronics with heavy fuzzed-out synth lines and occasional hypnotic, and eerily fixated arpeggios. We can hear the omnipresence of thrilling, distant, menacing, and cold sci-fi cinematic brightness with The Inside-Out Planet.
The new album also incorporates sequences of poignant sustained drone chords and computerized analog textures with a retro-ish feeling (from the pionnering 70’s kosmische music era). Some parts reveal a rare emotional density within a sharp focus. Difficult to pick up one favorite track but I will go for “To All Our Scattered Path” for its blissful, majestic, and enchanting mood with hints of melancholia which suggests a state of final departure. All in all, The Inside-Out Planet is a convincing and transportive doom-like soundscape album that will lead you into the confines of the cosmos, a brainey and inter-sidereal experimental journey to the unknown. The missing link between John Carpenter, Neuronium, and Lustmord at the digital age.
The album comes complete with a mini-comic from Charles Terhune of Cathode Ray Tube and Bunnyhead fame.
The Inside-Out Planet is available on Component.
