Reviews & Discussion:
This is an excellent ambient album, for all the usual (if somewhat overused & cliched) reasons that make an excellent ambient album excellent. Throughout its two extended pieces, it manages to remain interesting, varied, calming, tuneful, etc. In other words, everything one would hope for and expect in such a records. It never resorts to boring wallpaper-y-ness, new age trifle, or dirge-y interludes. Highly recommended.
Chris & Cosey - Obsession
May 20, 2012
This is a fantastic single, esp. for the instrumental b-side. Sadly, neither of these songs have yet to make it onto CD, with the exception of the short edit of A, which is on their "Essential" best-of 2xCD.
What a fantastic compilation, and so way overdue. If you dig the Church, this Aussie band always fell in their shadow, but for no good reason whatsoever, other than a bit of bad luck.
Yeah, it's too bad that this is the official CD release to feature "Obsession" in any form. It's also odd, to me, that "Rise" is nowhere to be found here. Licensing difficulties of some sort, perhaps?
A fine return, lovely songwriting, recording, arrangements, etc. Makes one remember why they fell in love with Cast 15 years ago, in the first place. Dig in.

One of the best post-1st wave of Shoegaze(r) releases, ever!
Gospel Gossip - Drift EP
Apr 30, 2012
This is so much better/focused than their full-length CD.
