Saxophones and drones; Saturated with echos. This record has a haunting warm feel to it, very musch worth your time if you're into experimental stuff.

Blackest Ever Black cast out "two elegies in dub: for the once great city of New York, and for one of its most celebrated sons" by the enigmatically monikered Tomorrow The Rain Will Fall Upwards. Your guess is good as ours as to their provenance - we thought it was Colin Stetson until a fragment of the original sample revealed itself on A-side 'Thus They Sang In The Golden Skies', and the looming electro-acoustic dub spectres of 'Up To The Skies' reveal little about their maker. The A-side features pretty much nothing but reverb/echo-drenched tenor sax somehow evocative of the 'Love Theme' from Blade Runner if it were slowed down and stripped bare - really great stuff, while the flip is a fleshed out , dense electronic drone treatment, making for one of the more intriguing, genuinely mysterious releases in the BEB canon. Not often we're left this bewildered by a record round here - will be giving this one a lot of our time, no doubt.
