Reviews & Discussion
Its hard for me to understand how bands like Illusion of Safety (basically Dan Burke alone with revolving cast of musicians) are able to go on for 20+ years. There was virtually no promotion for this band and certainly they are rarely mentioned by those who are into dark ambient or experimental music, although their influence on both genres is enormous. Hopefully Dan Burke will continue to do the same thing for at least another 50 years.
