eM Outward
(CDEP by Foundry/Hypnos)
The second in a new EP series by Foundry is a 3-track atmospheric gem by label director eM (M. Bentley). This exploratory disc has so much compact conceptualism housed in its short 21 minute format. As it opens a haunting From The Earth smirks back at Enošs classic Music for Airports, in its open range, free flight or in this case its more float. Harmonically based in sci-fi premise, the quietly engaging Across the Milky Way guides its passengers on a galactic joy ride. Though this ride is measured and gaged and monitored. I canšt help getting the feeling of surveillance. Or having that physical experience of knowing there is another human in your living space when the television is on. There is something about breaking in and out of electrical signal here. As the disc closes with Beyond the Magellanic Clouds the miniscule pops seem amplified to 10000 times their size. The piece draws to an end as these tiny spheres collect as a pool of electrons, break free and vanish. (TJN)
