_______________________________________________________________________
Ben Reynolds is one of the newer voices from the same UK scene that
includes Ashtray Navigations and many of the VHF celebrities (Sunroof!,
Vibracathedral Orchestra, Richard Youngs, etc.) It should be of little
surprise then that Book of Beyond fits very nicely among the recordings
of those other artists--noise/junk drone.
As in his previous recordings, this at times dissolves into more
acoustic offerings, but the Fahey influence appears to be mostly gone,
and what remains in the quieter moments is far more bewildering. Time-
stretched bells and weird short-wave transmissions, one helluva lot of
well used ring-modulator (nice to hear it done well for a change),
fumblings on more traditional instrumentation (flute, guitar, etc.) but
never coming together to form anything you might call a song.
Book of Beyond may truly be well titled, since this is music stretching
out beyond his two other recent releases, taking what he's learned from
his participation in Ashtray Navigations and focusing more on texture
and aural disorientation. This is definitely the kind of uncomfortable
music we are proud to release!
