"CLOUD COVER"
Aucourant Records
The nine electronic pieces that integrate this CD have a decidedly mysterious, enigmatic character. Fountainhead (a.k.a. Robert Scott Thompson) achieves in them a very cosmic atmosphere. The music is mostly static, even though there also are passages with a slow percussive rhythm. This is an imaginative Ambient album, mainly because of the amount of innovative concepts that he includes in his sonic and musical palette. In the work the listener can hear wrapping sounds that penetrate the mind leaving a strong impression of loneliness and remoteness.
