I wouldn't expect any less from Deep Chord, and certainly #16 is no exception. Four incredible dubby tracks from master Rod Modell. Mr. Modell has been manipulating organic sounds for years with many environmental ambient works. With Deep Chord, you get as natural and warm a sound you could ever get from raw, hissing analog synths. "Lama Temple" and "Hex Craft" are, I believe, the most powerful, and almost familiar coming from the Deep Chord family. This 12" is a strong piece that offers some variety yet within the echoing boundaries of DC. "Mars Oil" spills out with soothing ambient reverberation and a touch of elegance. If you don't have any Deep Chord, and have trouble finding older releases, get this one while it's out, 'coz they go fast. Similar artists: BASIC CHANNEL, MIKKEL METAL.
