The Silverman — Blank For Your own Message(A Zen Opera in seven pa
[Beta-Lactam Ring Records — 2008]★★★★★
Reviewed 18 October 2008by Roger Batty
Blank for your own message is a very hypnotic, often droning eastern tinged spiritual mix of; electronics, subtle beats, sampled world music and ethic percussion, field recording textures and ambience.
The albums drifts along in a heavy dense hazy all of its own making often giving the feeling of been very stoned wondering through Indian temples, early mourning markets and cites of an awakening Indian or Asian city. Going from electro drone texturing bobbing with muffled and chartered voices/ ethic field recordings or slurred gamelan tone. To ethic tinged and hypnotic beat work-outs ingwith gong, flute and cow bell trails. Think a more wayward and psychedelic take on ethno ambience and mellowed electronica and you’ll get close to what The Silverman is doing here
Heady, mysterious and psychedelic Blank for your own message takes you on a magic carpet ride towards the eastern sunrise.
