Cooperation "Transcollaboration" cd review...



I was sent the CD "Transcollaboration" shortly after responding to
the Looplist notice (below) by James Sidio.  I've waited awhile before
posting  a review so I could give it a few honest listens.
I'll have to use some of the typical genre terms, but here goes:
Definitely atmospheric, moody, ambient...mostly dark....
I've been producing planetarium soundtracks for the Memphis Museum
for about 20 years, and I would have to say that many of the tracks
would make excellent backdrops to voyages to black holes and
colliding galaxies.  This is a complement.....
The collaboration seemed to work seemlessly....  I don't notice any
lack of cohesion between the musicians due to the oceanic division
between them.  (If you didn't know, this CD is a collaboration via
snail mail between Texas and England)  There are also some nice
melodic segments and  mildly industrial drumming which is cool.
A smooth listen....  you  can rest your head without worrying about
the next tune jarring you out of a nice meditative indulgence.
Hopefully this was the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
and more transcollaboration.....
