Press Reviews
0LEUM Excelsior (Fflint Central)
" 0leum, better known perhaps as Barry Williams, is a five track album, kicking
off with Spilth. With the exception of the dazzling blast that initiates the piece,
this is one of the gentlest and dare I say the most ambient works I have heard
yet on the label. Eno's ghost wanders freely through the aural shadows
generated amongst derelict dyeworks as images fall on a prevailing wind.
Cumulus Over Halkyn, again, is a beautifully produced ambient drone that
is saved from monotony by an undercurrent of subtly changing ghostly
harmonics - the overall effect is so relaxing, and I never thought I'd be saying
that about ANYTHING on FfC! Deep Yellow Harbour is similar in structure
to Cumulus in that it builds slowly and remains a constant with subtle underpinning.
For any of you out there who're getting a little anxious, the menace and darkness
often found on many FfC gear, is on Fog Hollow. A rich, menacing, almost Evil Dead
soundtrack with fractures in reality seeping through your speakers, dragging you
screaming into the nothingness - brown pants time. Appropriately, the last track,
Void, is a truly different 'sound' (again) for FfC. It's more like something from
Tangerine Dream on acid. A lively and energetic piece and whilst it doesn't last
2 minutes, you know you've been taken somewhere, and just, only just, made
it back ".
