Following up on their recently released PERTIWI ep, featuring two original tracks and a 10 minute soundbath rework of this very record by Gonjasufi, Gamelan Voices (aka Nid & Sancy) present their first album, aptly titled I.The result is a visceral blend of raw gamelan instruments, atmosperic synths, bass guitar and washes of Asian metallophones.Although the nine tracks on this album are meditative in nature, you d be wrong to assume this package is little more than new age synths noodling away. I is ambient with a raw component. it touches a nerve and it s as much inspired by the work of Jon Hassell as it is by Coil. I will be released through GONG EAR and available on digital,cd and vinyl.
