subset is the featured artist for the 17th greyscale full-length. named >this quiet earth<, this 9 track heavyweight of dubby goodness offers a consistent variety of spatialness while the atmosphere clearly surrounds you with its innate charm. heavy chords are consistent characteristic here while the beats are strong and favor more of a steady low tempo. tracks like >the rivers are dry< and >trippy specs< are soaked in reverb with an old skool dub sound while >the community of worlds< and >two halves< are another pair of deep-seated scenic heaters. the steady static over many tracks give off a language of communication to the listener that balances the organic elements extremely well. >lucys sky dreams< is not unlike a classic echospace track with tremendous depth that has you on the edge of your seat. a gentle album across the board that still has a reserved serious tone to it. another fine addition to the camp, subsets debut with us is a memorable one.
phat 2020 album !! an album had been finished by the spring of 95 and all recorded onto dat and placed in a box. k&d pressed up 10 copies and gave 4 away to some suitably eccentric individuals. fast-forward a quarter century and that box was discovered, the music was transferred from the dats and k&d painstakingly rebuilt every molecule that made up the original 10 copies. the long-awaited result is here - 15 glorious tracks that will transport listeners back to the smoky haze of 1995.
