Posted by KD at 10:33 AM May 03, 2005The Unquiet Void's Poisoned DreamsOne of the great about the new site is that I can post about what people think of us, so without too much hyping the hype, here's some awesome reviews for Unquiet Void's Poisoned Dreams CD. The first one is from from Aural Pressure.. Although I didn't find it up on the site, (I was emailed the review) TUQV is listed as having a tracks on their April 2005 playlist along with tracks by Beyond Sensory Experience, David E. Williams and H.E.R.R. Horror films will always be popular with the masses. The buzz of seeing nightmarish visions on the wide screen sends pulses racing to the brains core which responds in turn by releasing adrenaline into our system to counteract our fears. A basic primordial survival mechanism unchanged by time. It hasn't taken long for musicians to realise that through music the same effects, to a slightly lesser degree, can be achieved. Play any descent Dark Ambient piece with eyes closed and the lights out in total darkness and those receptive enough through the power of imagination can conjure up the wildest of visions to make the hairs on the body stand to attention. Subliminal horrors for the taking are only a CD away. This third release by Jason Wallach, recording as The Unquiet Void, is one such recording. Taking the works of H P Lovecraft, the under / over rated horror writer depending on your viewpoint, as inspiration the eight tracks on "Poisoned Dreams" conjure up a world beset by demons in a hell strewn landscape. Using the bleakest of gloom ridden atmospheres and slight ritual / tribal leanings the music, if you let it, will induce nightmarish visions for your entertainment. Awash with synthesizers / drums / loops he has created a hybrid colossus that will appeal to like minded souls. Blackest ambient for the sickest of tormented souls. The music frizzles with tension and echo's / reverbs as the heart pounding beats thump out a relentless refrain as the chants of the old ones are solemnly spoken. Of course the only way to listen to "Poisoned Dreams", and to realise the artists vision, is in dark solitude. Played out this way every note strikes with precision and clarity enlivening the whole experience. To play it any other way will not achieve the same effects and diminishes what is a quintessential dark ambient recording. Fear has never tasted so good." Next one up is from the Dutch webzine Gothtronic: You can read the entire review online but since it's short here's it is, as reviewed by Teknoir: About a year ago i listened to a compilation cd entitled Eclectica vol.2 of the American Middle Pillar Presents label and I was totally impressed with a track of a project which was yet unknown to me. The Unquiet Void was represented on that compilation with the piece 'R'lyeh Rerisen'. Now i got a cd of his project. The third one already according to the information that goes with the album. The Unquiet Void is Jason Wallach. He is active with ambient music since 1989 (!). This cd is inspired upon the work of horror grandmaster H.P.Lovecraft, and more specifically on the the 'Cthulhu Mythes'. The tracks are based on the stories 'Dagon', The Call of the Cthulhu' en 'The Shadow Over Innsmouth'. The music consists of laidback but sometimes very intense dark ambient with strong ritual aspects. In the track 'the Esoteric Order' you will hear vocals. This is a co-operation with Bryin Dall (Loretta's Doll). The music is very good, but actually not perfect until that one track: R'lyeh Rerisen'. In this all elements come together. This is so impressively intense. For this track alone i would have bought this record, if it had not been given as a promo. It's also worth mentioning that "Poisoned Dreams" got a 9 out of 10 (whoo-hoo!) and a seemingly great review in the Experimental/Noise section of the March 2005 issue of ORKUS magazine. It's a "seemingly great review" because I can't read German Does it need to be said that the entire Unquiet Void catalog is available , if you want some? Didn't think so. Posted by KD at 12:10 AM |
