rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"Borrowed Time" by Lammergeyer

A new project by Anthony Paul Kerby of The Circular Ruins,
Lammergeyer has created a highly emotional body of work
using a combination of electronic and more organic sounds.
The 3rd in a series of releases in a similar vein, Lammergeyer's
"Borrowed Time" is a study in beautiful and lush tones.

Opening with "Prolegomena", a mournful melody slowly builds
accompanied by light percussion & keyboard work. Constantly
moving, shifting, tones change shape and respond to each
other in an almost organic manner. Beautiful.

Skip ahead to track four, "Point of Intersection" where the
sound of keyboards echo the sounds of a sparse rain,
minimal drones and metalic tones sliding across one another.

With "Echoes" the sound of oscillating drones like radar
waves bounce back and forth through the ether. A low hum
slowly rises and falls throughout anchoring the piece, while
minimal keyboard work adds a sense of wonder.

"Anything can be Everything" pairs steam like tones with
starbright chimes in an unlikely blend that works very effectively
together. Gaining a certain mechanical quality to it, the song
is slowly overtaken by a series of metallic hits that create an
impressive tension.

"That Suddenly Are Real" features a pumping squelchy
bassline that wraps around itself, entwining other more
subtle melodies in a tight grip. Sound fades in and out
with a seeming randomness thad adds colour and depth
making it all the more striking in it's beauty.
What a beautiful track!

With each listen to "Borrowed Time" I find new sounds,
new melodies, and new themes to discover. All of the
songs here are treasures to be discovered again & again.
"Borrowed Time" is truly a fabulous release who's effects 
have stayed with me long after the last tones have faded away.
