Alio Die : they grow layers of life within

Another almost magical and uplifting spiritual work from Alio Die. The sound and this album is an acoustic cathedral, but it could also be the sound of an ancient forest or what is more pure has survived or escaped the implacable vortices of space-time. A pure, charming, superlative album, where Alio Die opens passages, planing, flying through. There is no uncertainty, no swelling, no cracking, the sounds emerge, appear and disappear within a solid soundtrack. Thanks to such dilated sounds the listener sees in the distance. It looks like through a crystal sphere, the trained ear reads messages that Alio Die has received from other worlds thanks to an accustomed sensitivity now capturing in every sound event the sacred and essential.

REVIEW
Essentially a long-play album with subtle variation in style throughout the three tracks. This is sonic tapestry at it's finest... a warm, mystical blanket of sound that you can keep sinking into. In my opinion, it's one of the finest releases in Alio Die's solo cannon of work to date and I cant help but marvel at what he continually succeeds in creating, celebrating even; the meditative integration of prayer and sound.
