Inade - Aldebaran [Cold Spring Records - 2008]

Aldebaran is plain & simple an industrial / dark ambient masterpiece original released back in 1996, this is its third repressing. And easy to see why this has been so popular as it mangers to balance perfectly slowed industrial rhythms, deep, cavernous ambience & alien tones into a hypnotic & distinctive sonic package, that hardly shows it’s age.

It really gives the feeling of been sucked into an void, an strange reality beyond ours that for the most part is vast empty and filled with a darkness you can almost feel. They use sampled voices and singing tones at the start of the album suggesting the slow fading of our world, as the album progresses these samples get less and less as you seem to sink or soak deeper into Aldebaran's strange world of rhythm, vast cavernous tones and a really tangible atmosphere of ancient unknown powers at work. Lasting just over an hour in all, broke into eight tracks with each track having it’s own sonic themes, though really this has to be experience as an whole- preferable in a darkened room with headphones.

Though there are no extra or bonus tracks offered here, which will be a let down to those who already have this. I really feel they would have very much ruined the flow and magic of the album. Simply put if you enjoy dark ambient- you really cant be with out this as it’s up there with the classics of the genre.
