German Army – Wakhan Corridor

Vast emptiness reaching out across angular undulations. Rhythms echoing from indeterminable distances. The sounds are a conglomeration of geologic processes and sentient affairs. The elements in constant corrosive states, eroding fragile bastions created by those choosing this environment as home. There are moments of rest, when conditions seem to gurgle in drone like fashion rather than the continual eruption always present. This is the Wakhan Corridor, a place of thin air and pounding states, solemn peacefulness interrupted by harsh atmosphere.

German Army camps in difficult to reach, inhospitable places. Outside, a microphone secured firmly on a rugged stand, cables snaking back through the entrance into a small dwelling. The small stove turned off after conjuring a hot cup of sustenance. Record is pressed on the field device, sounds begin their journey from present state to antiquity. The decibel needles barely moving, hovering just to the right in the measurable spectrum. The start of sporadic thunderous bellowing causes German Army to adjust the gain. Now parameters are set, PK and NH stretch out to weather the duration.

Wakhan Corridor is a severe ambient heavy. Sounds perfectly polarized, raw and dense cadence in harmony with exploratory ambience. A magnificently refined style German Army continually gains wisdom in. This is an excellent composition for the large number of followers the group has established or for anyone who would like to experience just a really great album.
