This is a great album of peaceful compositions. Mostly keyboard electronics, there are tracks that feature piano, guitar, and percussion in sparse quantity set against a background of drones. Often there is more than one drone happening, which gives a rich and resonant sonic foundation along with absorbing melodic interplay. I like that this music is beautiful but that it also has an interesting edge, which keeps it from being just "decorative," as is often said in art criticism. The interest comes in the way that a particular sound texture, drone, or melody is put together with others. While you are blissed-out, it takes you to interesting places. The track "The Early Stages of Decline" has an aural effect of one sound element traveling in an oval trajectory from one speaker to the other, and to me feels like an imaginary oval of sound is being traced through my head. Another track, "Depths of December," has a slightly menacing, jagged-edged, but not abrasive drone, out of which gradually emerge disembodied voices from lost radio signals. "The Time We've Spent" and "Never Ending" feature acoustic instrumental lines over the drones, and remind me of some of Harold Budd's work. Obviously, to me at least, the forefather of this type of music is Brian Eno. If I had to pick an Eno project that this harkens to the most, I'd say ON LAND. However, "Never Ending" makes me think of APOLLO. Other tracks that contain interesting sonic textures and disembodied sounds or voices remind me of some of the Aphex Twin ambient work. Some of my favorite music is currently made by "bands" consisting primarily of one member: The Album Leaf, Eluvium, Startle the Heavens. From what I understand, Slow Dancing Society is another one-man band. So, if you made it through this review with interest intact, I suggest: put on a good pair of headphones, embrace the drone, and: happy drifting!
