Sense is a one man operation guided by Australia’s Adam Raisbeck. There is an ever persistent ray of warm sounds in each of his tracks that have already been noticed by a variety of labels including Aural Industries (Australia), Merck Records (Florida) and even deFocus Records (United Kingdom) where Adam remixed on Lackluster’s R U Oho? 12″. Neo Ouija is prepared to unleash what many people have been waiting patiently to hear.. the release of View From a Vulnerable Place (March, 2001).
But one has to wonder how Sense is able to combine pleasing ambient frequencies with an almost classical soundscape. Each track on the upcoming View From a Vulnerable Place is packed with an exquisite assortment of tumbling electronics and symphonic debris. Tracks like “Choice”, and “All Is You” tap into some very emotional territory where soothing ambient chords, warm basslines and tickling highs float around your mind in a very peaceful fashion.
For the most part, it would be difficult not to fall asleep with a smile on your face listening to this release. A perfect blend of classical electronics and ambience sizzling on the camp fire. One of the finest CD’s to hit the mailbox in a long time, and will definitely reach the high charts for 2001 when it becomes an official full-length release on Neo Ouija.
“Waves crashing over me –love, pain, hurt, anger, fear, withdrawal, mute, compassion, cuddles. I just want to be.” (Adam Raisbeck)
It makes complete sense that Adam would feel these emotions. With View From a Vulnerable Place, these emotions seem to fall out of the music in the most incredible fashion. You literally begin to feel the music as it rolls over your thoughts, clears your mind of clutter, and erases any debris that may have been collecting. In the end it all makes sense; View From a Vulnerable Place is the perfect marriage of classical ambience and pure electronic finesse.
