You remember this period when the albums of EM golden of a very Cartesian approach had an average of 40 minutes to the meter? A vinyl with about 20 minutes on both sides? There was no place to improvisation nor to lengthes! Like on this last Ian Boddy’s album which we would nevertheless have wished longer. Splendid from the first second to the last, As Above So Below is as a jewel which is brought out of this nice time where the delight of our ears was never quenched. The album is offered in vinyl with a number of pressings limited to 250, as well as in CD with a number limited to 500 copies and finally in download. And I would tell you that if you have one album to buy this year, that should be As Above So Below.
The adventure begins with slow and quiet synth wave of which the cosmic appearance of is betrayed by an oceanic melody where the astral murmurs are like seraphic chants. So beautiful as poignant, the slow morphic march of As Above So Below” is like a synthesized adagio or else a symphony of whimperings of which the contrasts feed Isaac Newton’s vision when he wrote in 1860 that which is below is like that which is above and that which is above is like that which is below. The very orchestral approach of this title places the ambient music style at another level so much it can be filmic or cosmic. We believe then that this last Ian’s opus is as his last odes of atmospheres? Make no mistake! After a short ambiosonic introduction
