From Boomkat:
The consistently good Home Normal label
presents what must be the most engaging
and lushly complex album to date from
Brock Van Wey aka BVDub. Drifting
slightly away from the vast dub scapes
he's reputed for, 'Tribes At The Temple
Of Silence' is a sumptuous suite of
drone/loop-based ambient electronics
with a keener sense of pop sweetness and
taste for tempered beats. A first sign
of things to come occurs on 'A Quiet
Doorway Opens', setting the four walls
of his sound to a more intimate
environment. 'The Past Disappears' gives
the first convective flush of emotion
with a slow blur of symphonic strings
and 13.5 tog ambient tones opened out
with richly padded but deeply discrete
basses. The keys and crystalline melody
of 'Sanctuary' are more New Age
positive, recalling some later Roedelius
wanderings, but 'These Walls Will Always
Remember' succumbs to that comforting
loneliness that defines the best of his
work, with chilly synths condensed into
heaving, harmonious sighs. 'Morning
Rituals' introduces even rarer elements
to his work with what sounds like Native
American ululations woven into waves of
static and gently buoyant, icily clear
electronic soul rhythms, whereas 'We
Move As One' smudges fluttering dub
house patterns into the background,
foregrounding his powdered snow-
crunching synth textures. 'Towers Rise
To The Sky' renders his gauzy veils of
ambient shimmer with breathtaking
delicacy. Highly recommended.
