Utilising intuitive and hypnotic atmospherics through reel-to-reel tape loops and analog tones Void is both alchemical and ceremonial. Opening with the nineteen minute track “Sulphur, Void is like a great behemoth lumbering across a windswept desert.  Slow paced reversed noises mixing perfectly with the dark and long howls to set a scene of desolation and emptiness. As the tracks builds, and when I say “builds” I mean literally brick by single brick, we slowly find the atmosphere shifts and becomes so much more claustrophobic.

“Aether” doesn’t really move onmuch quicker, and begins in almost exactly the same way as track one. By eight minutes we are beginning to hear the distant voices deep in the tunnel of wind that we are very much in.

The two additional tracks almost seem like sketches the original two track cassette release was based upon. “Salamander” is slightly quicker based and is a somewhat fuller track than has gone before. However, strip away a little of the extraneous noises and you left with track one. “Kheper” opens with what sounds like the slowest and most distant SOS call in history before slow washes of noise just drown it out.

This album is one of loss and emptiness, and quite frankly it’s excellent. If you like your dark ambient completely devoid of anything even pertaining to hope then this album is one for you. Each track is another step closer to the edge of anything where only a black hole awaits you, but rather than sucking all matter into itself this black hole is bone idle and seems to expect you to enter of your own free will. And enter you will, and the Void will take you.
