Info: | 1992’s TERRACE OF MEMORIES
is an organic ambient album of longing and gentle melancholic
minimalism. Sam Rosenthal (Black Tape For A Blue Girl’s
founder/synthesist, then based in Los Angeles) and Dirk Serries (then
recording under the moniker vdnaObmana in Belgium) blended their
atmospheres and somber contemplative electronics on this timeless album
filled with lush, dark and beautiful impressions. Energized by a
passage of text written by Sam concerning a lost love, the swelling
deep waves of the five tracks suggest memories of more pleasant times
lost forever in the cold, lifeless present. The pieces are
appropriately mournful with a slow grace as they drift through a world
of remembrances, an endless stream of succulent and stirring
reflections. England's MUSIC FROM THE EMPTY QUARTER wrote in ‘92: More than ever before, Sam lets his emotions run away on a tide of ambient turbulence. Five drifting movements ride the intake of senses, breathing the air of life and surrounding beauty. As fullsome as the cycle of seasons, cascading visions of past and present contact loop and collide. A very deep personal intrusion into the mind & heart, represented by a dark, mysterious and sensual music. Cast adrift into the caring hands of this truly original and honest artist who not only lives within himself, but sheds his soul through others as well. Rosenthal and Obmana created this album the old fashioned way — by sending tapes in the mail across the world. They captured the essence at ambient music’s core, creating a dreamlike, surreal universe, and wrapping listeners in the fascinating soundscapes. Obmana’s cold and isolating textures are beautifully contrasted by Rosenthal's warmer synthetic presence. It’s a blissful, slowly spinning environment for those contemplative rainy or winter nights. This is ambient minimalism at its best. Lose yourself in TERRACE OF MEMORIES' green and grey charms. |
