Praxionscope - Epoconixarp [Opax Records - 2006]

This ltd release is  a collaboration between one half of My Cat is an Alien Robert Opalio and Ramona Ponzini of  Painting Petals On Planet Ghost. It  Finds the pair investigating more earth bound and richly mediative structures than My Cat Is an Alien.

The album consists of wonderful rich and warm and sometimes playful 30 minute track, which is  built around  handmade wooden percussion, Japanese bells, Wind Chimes, toy piano an strange looped  chanted vocals curtsy of Robert Opalio. It just feels so soothing and calming, the various sounds slowly shift and merging to Make a wonderful futile rhythmic and ambient jouney. I guess you can hear traces of drone music, world music and toy town musically explorations, but they managed to make it very much of their own own soothing sound, with its captivating, delicate and intricate tones. It seems to become more haunted and less playfully as the track progresses streached out certain tones, with other baying and calling ,bellow them like strange spoken voices from the other side.

Yet another very rewarding My Cat is an Alien related releasers. Really it beggars belief that the seem unable to put not a foot wrong at present, when you look at the prolific nature of there releases. Go and get this before there all gone just here.
