From Boomkat:
Ahhh yes, the one so many of you have been waiting for. Brock Van Wey's productions have been gently
lapping at the edge of the dub techno consciousness for the last couple of years with cherished releases
on a host of premier outlets, including his own wonderful Quietus imprint. His dancefloor productions have
appealed to heady listeners as much as the dancers, but it's those lush ambient compositions for
Shoreless and Echospace that have set him apart from the rest of the crowd. Steve Hitchell found a
soulmate in Brock's mindwashing style and paired his album of cloud-drift tones with a remix set of his
own, adding extra instrumentation and rhythmic elements on a further disc of Intrusion remixes for this
echospace release. Van Wey's disc of original tracks is designed for strictly horizontal listening, covering
acres of ambient space with sighing strings, layered guitars and cotton coated synth pads in thrall to
classic ambient electronica from the likes of Eno, Hans-Joakim Roedelius or Gas but with a forlorn spirit of
its own making. Simplicity and subtlety are key here and Van Wey is master of both disciplines. Hitchell's
efforts on the second disc remain faithful to Van Wey's vision, conjuring deeply hypnotic soundscapes with
broad brushstrokes of ambience and reclined atmospherics, with the notable difference of pulsing waves
of tidal bass and organic tape delay probing further into the ether. Fans of both artists will be thoroughly
overjoyed by this supple mind massage, you really are in for treat...
