German Army - Blending Landscapes

With a gentle push into the sonic abyss, Blending Landscapes begins. A bleak world where music and noise merge, the results are natural reactions found across time. Like the formation and demise of super continents, Nuna, Rodinia, Pannotia and Pangea, volcanic pulsations of a planet emitting life breathing energy. Geologic formations in synapse, biologic evolution with a rhythmic sense, pulling from both ancient and the still unknown simultaneously. Blending Landscapes holds crystalline sonic passages created by dense pressure of a world before us. Echos of spiritual rituals finding place with majestic vistas both lost and reborn. These sounds perpetually reverberating as decibels crumble, an aural mist enveloping listeners from a world older than most can truly fathom.

Once again German Army delivering a full sortie on a massive compilation. Fourteen tracks slowly and steadily vibrating the consciousness. Like a wedge, each beat moves forward in a fractional, almost in-measurable amount. Gently and seemingly undetectable, thoughts cycling back through foundations of DNA. Back to times when drum circles ruled the night, torches bouncing in walking rhythm through the forest and underworld. These passages are cryptic to us in the present, focusing on the harmonies we hold deep within, a connection strongly felt but still difficult to understand. Sounds fresh and new, but patterns and accentuation so natural, a sense of yearning is the feeling we delightfully intake.

Released on Soil Records from Spain. Not sure how many physical cassettes were made in this edition, but there are less than ten remaining on the Soil bandcamp page. Blending Landscapes is a great album deserving listening time and thought.
