Ballard Landscapes
Author: Simon Sellars • Aug 1st, 2006 •Category: audio, Ballardosphere, music
Thanks to Master Rick McGrath for this link, to a free download archive containing mp3 files and artwork for an album called Ballardian Landscapes by one Cousin Silas.
This is highly recommended, and goes a long way towards answering the questions, Paul, Mike and I posed at the end of the Mike Ryan interview…I hope to post a more indepth review when I’ve had a more indepth listen, but right now I can tell you I’m reminded of Alan Lamb’s telegraph-wire field recordings crossed with Edward Artemiev’s re-recorded Tarkovsky soundtracks…allied to the Ballardian imagery evoked by the track listings and it’s a powerful brew.
