Go to the Beneath The Lake website  Beneath The Lake - Silent Uprising [Glass Throat Recordings - 2005]

nstrumentation to pick out the more melodic elements. Coming off like a darker version of Biosphere guitar tracks on Substrata, or like more  Environmental and less cowboy freindly version of Earth's  more recent material. " />
Beneath the lakes second album finds the Two piece project mining  ambient and gloom filled guitar drones and guitar repetition. Mixed with dense environmental sounds,  organ and other instrumentation to pick out the more melodic elements. Coming off like a darker version of Biosphere guitar tracks on Substrata, or like more  Environmental and less cowboy freindly version of Earth's  more recent material.

For the albums 70 minutes runing time your locked into its slow moving tones, enchanted by it’s appearing and dissolving audio worlds. Environmental sounds and recordings are very much a part of every track, playing a bigger part in  making the atmosphere and depth of the tracks, than the  more traditional musically elements. They are weaved deeply into the material, you feel there’s a real ear here for making these work on their own level and not just as an after thought.Giving the music a real picture quality-  if one was to shut your eyes you'd feeling like your drifting over dusk crawling in, vast lands scapes empty of mankind’s buildings and trappings or maybe  hovering over grey seas as last the sun rays glimer on   the water. This is music to settle into its  sound world- headphones in place. Ready to let the tones and sounds take you away.  I can’t really choose any stand or favourite tracks, as this really works best in its whole 70 minute form, you just have to dive in and full submerge your mind in its dark and often haunting and beautiful oceans of sound.

Yet another rich sound world from the great Glass Throat recordings- Home of Ruhr Hunter etc. To buy direct and hear sound samples go here.
