The Venerable Dark Cloud marks the return of Loren Nerell with his first solo CD since his landmark recording Lilin Dewa (Side Effects DFX 026) and continues on with his gamelan spiced ambient atmospheres. The Venerable Dark Cloud is an audio offering, an atmospheric journey, a musical what if. It was conceived from the Indonesian notion that at the center of every great gamelan is a soul, contained within the largest gong. Loren, using various synths, gamelan instruments, and manipulated field recordings composes music as if viewed from the eye of the soul of the gamelan. The Venerable Dark Cloud is a remarkable record, not only for its immense and fathomless production quality, but for its superb set of ethereal and evocative soundscapes. This truly enchanting, beautiful release is guaranteed to increase your appetite for more of the same. This very clearly toned and worthly listening album has moments of sheer splendor, on the whole it is more than just an enjoyable excursion, it’s a breathtaking experience just to hear it! |
