bvdub – To Live

Immensely powerful, deeply moving. A piece that embodies life, sadness, hope. I'm so thankful this CD exists. Thank you to Smallfish and bvdub.

After a couple of ambient excercises on the Quietus imprint, it seems like Brock has managed to put together his heart, soul, experience and craft and channel them through one epic track.Melancholy, sadness, an omnipresent feeling of loneliness and anguish emanating from this sonic masterpiece have the ability to strip away all inner inhibitions and allow you to embrace the remarkable depths of human emotions.
The composition is comprised of three varied sound arrangements, seamlessly morphing from one to the other and forming one breathtaking sonic instalation, filled with ethereal breaths of waves that majestically sweep over the shores of your conciousness, with drops of piano notes peering through the clouds of enveloping chords.
This is an emotional experience like few others.

Even though Brock has since released countless albums, this, in my opinion, is without a doubt his finest achievement, as he managed to create something truly timeless, a stunning work of art that will never sease to move and amaze.

absolutely beautiful, one of bvdubs masterpieces

the first track to ever force tears out of me, it's so beautiful...
