VITAL WEEKLY - Frans de Waard (The Netherlands)

Another new name for me, and I don't know much about him, other than that his next release will be on Mystery Sea. So that might give you an idea in which direction this goes. On 'Cancroregina' Cuervos explores the depths of dark ambient music. Not sure though what it is he uses, but it seems to me there is some digital synths at work, plus a whole bunch of sound effects. The result is the far away cry of dolphins or the undersea adventures of a thousand fishes swarming around the wreckage of a ship. Good sturdy ambient music, which offers no new insight on the material but instead continue what has been going on in the field for the last twenty years. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, as this is quite nice late night music. For those interested: a new demo from Cuervos is also available.
