Al Lover - Existential Everything
Heavy Rain in Visual Fields is the longest track on Al Lover's new release Existential Everything, and the compositions constitution. A nine minute track fashioned in a conscious interlocking, like fog over water.... molecular connections. Maybe starting with the opus is a jump too quick to hear. Stepping back... The entire release is a thought burner, a companion for loosing awareness and a casual lean back on the caffeinated push through each day. This explains the full treatment for Existential Everything, vinyl and compact disc on Stolen Body Records from Bristol, UK and the cassette version from Crash Symbols, here in the states (delightedly used for this description).
Existential Everything is a lengthy beast, close to forty five minutes across thirteen tracks. Al Lover taking good time to imprint his sonic landscape across the audio spectrum of all who listen. Think of high speed rail a century from now. Terrain in the foreground blurring as distant giant landmarks move with the methodical rhythms. The juxtaposition of sounds is a talent Al Lover is extremely deft at. Grooved out rhythms under the glowing sparks of blurred energy. Would like to say there is a dub feel to Existential Everything, take a close listen to Static Snake Charger and explore for yourself. This composition does excel at escaping genres, and throwing out a dub reference is a feeble but valiant attempt to help throw a ring around this prize.
Living up to the title and worth all the time needed for an uninterrupted listen. Released on cassette in an edition of one hundred by Crash Symbols. Since the start of February eighty five tapes have sold. Math time.
