     When I first clocked this I literally could not believe my
     eyes: A triple CD set that includes a full new album and two
     discs of rare and hard-to-find, out-of-print material. All
     presented in a lovely 6 panel digipak for ú9.79. I had to give
     the old spectacles a wipe for fear I was missing a number one
     before the nine but no, I am not mistaken (I should be a used
     car salesman). I must admit I'd really not given Fabio's music
     much attention before and to be honest I think really my
     introduction to the artist was his recent 'Winterreise' CD on
     Slow Flo, which really did take me places. Working within a
     field which I currently feel is over-saturated, he's
     skillfully crafted a very distinctive organic ambient sound
     through keyboards, guitar, field recordings and treated
     vocals. I'm currently listening to the new recordings and am
     feeling ultra-relaxed as the sound of breaking waves beneath
     drones massage my weary soul. Certainly Chris Watson's theory
     of "the sound of water taking us back to a pre-natal state of
     being" applies here. This perhaps sounds a little new-age but
     fear not as Orsi skillfully steers clear of the healing
     crystal vibe, rather immerses us in deep, lush layers of
     enveloping gentle tone. Part III of the new work is
     particularly engaging and hypnotic, emitting pure warmth yet
     with an underlying darkness while a simple almost buried
     percussive hit gives it some slow motion momentum. Meanwhile a
     majestic and ghostly vocal pervades and evolves completing the
     soundscape, which really is a thing of profound beauty. The
     urge to close my eyes becomes greater than my will to type
     words so I'm leaving it at that and am going to submerge into
     the zone. Huge recommendation
