Moraines - Paul Bradley & Cría Cuervos

I don't know if "Moraines" was originally conceived as a soundtrack but most certainly sounds like one. Bradley and Cria Cuervos assembled their deep-frequency based subterranean hums - once in a while slightly modified by the appearance of more biological sounds - like if they needed some sort of audio documentary for an installation (or an aquarium; good comparisons could be found with Michel Redolfi and Vidna Obmana/Hybryds past work in that area, as sounds of water are well in evidence in the most relaxing segments). The music moves very gradually, almost afraid of waking us up from a state of torpor; blurred pictures of peculiar forms of life slide in front of us without interruption, at times reinforced with resounding low vibrations. Not groundbreaking, but well worth a careful listen, this is an accomplished ambient coalescence.
