At the time of its release fans of ‘Spindrift’s’ ethno-ambient style were shocked by the heavy use of industrial tinged guitars, where repetitive pummeling Godflesh styled guitars and thumping program drum machines sit atop a base of dark ambient to industrial soundscapes. Whilst the guitar oriented sound of project has never been a favourite of Morthound’s around these parts, there are enough filmic dark ambient tracks on the album to make it not totally guitar dominated and in fact with guitars featured on only 3 of the 7 album tracks, referring to this as the ‘guitar’ album is slightly misleading. Of the non guitar pieces, the hazy yet brooding dark ambient atmospheres of ‘hibernation’ (complete with vague disembodied voices floating in and out of the mix), in part mirrors where BJ Nilsen would take his sound post Morthound and as displayed on the debut album ‘Lech’ issued under the Hazard moniker. ‘Syyzygy’ also sees the ‘ethno ambient’ be reprised in full guise, here with full Indian flavour evoked through tabla percussion and sampled ethic female vocals. Yet for all its outward display of stylistic diversity, the crowning achievement of this album is the concluding track ‘World End’. Being an amazing soundscape of doomy droning layers and multitude of abstract yet cinematic sound textures (unintelligible vocal snippets adding to the nightmarish edge), the track breaks out into a final segment of dark industrial tribalism with mid paced ritual drumming and wailing female vocals. Fantastic. - NoiseReceptor
