Just from the prelistening:
Great comp. Very interisting atmospheres
I luckily (pre)listend to it the first time at 2:00 and it fits very good at that time, as the name suggests
P.S.: My favourite track most probably will be the one of Vataff Project ... sounds very unique! |

V/A - Midnight Soul Dive
STYLE
Deeply chilled downtempo/ambient collection from Aleph Zero Records. These smooth sound paintings breeze along on lazy crepuscular beats that drift in and out of consciousness - digital loops blink and pulse, a blend of traditional drum sounds, programmed percussives and weightless cybergrooves - then the beats are gone, off into the gloom, or lost in sleep. The electronica is clean and expansive - restful nocturnes with cool reverberating phrases cycling around in constant evolution. The emphasis is on the hues and shades of the night - serene pads welling up behind synthetic chimes, muted bell tones and flute-like voices. Tracks breathe in and out of rhythm, buoyant and vaporous developing naturally one into another. Liquid rainsticks, scintillating static crackle and airy effects add detail - Omnimotion including a ghostly female voice, Ishq and Shulman blending bird calls and silken string sounds, Rena Jones playing delicate clarinet and cello somewhere off in the depths.
MOOD
The low light serenity of this album puts me in mind of that state of semi consciousness in between wakefulness and sleep where thoughts pass into dreams and vice versa. The dispersal of low key rhythm into beatlessness and back again, the comfortable oceanic swelling of soft drones, the indistinct voices and part identifiable sounds all work toward this common mood. That said, this is not a soporific CD of easy listening music - there is also an enjoyment of darkness, the artists here exploring the musical edge between melodic manipulation and ambient shapelessness - a serious experimentation with sonic states to touch the soul.
ARTWORK
The front cover is a pool of midnight black - tangled plumes of rising smoke swirling across one another in a knot of light are frozen in sculptural smoothness. On second glance a shadowed eye stares out from the centre of this intertwining of insubstantialities - ice blues, ashen tones, indigo depths. On the reverse is a track list - fine white against black, more spiralling fumes dimly visible in the deepest ultramarine. An expanded tracklist appears inside providing writing details and website information for some of the artists. An attractive package that is ideally suited to the accompanying sound content.
OVERALL
This latest compilation from Aleph Zero Records presents the more ambient side of the label - twelve tracks of subtle synthetic beauty that twist and hang in the air like sonic incense. Big names in the world of downtempo chill appear alongside less well known artists - all so closely united here in vision that this could be a single artist release - yet the diverse personalities each offer a unique viewpoint on this midnight excursion. Bluetech, Rena Jones, Elve and Omnimotion build the album to a dreamy, hypnotic climax along with a blissfully ethereal collaborative piece by Ishq and Shulman. Other musicians include Unoccupied, Cord, Krill.minima, Hibernation, Cosmic Fools, Anahata and Vataff Project. The promotional material explains the project as "a nocturnal journey starting in any other evening of everyday life and going through mysterious musical back roads and unknown sonic paths, spiralling down and diving deep inside your soul - a Midnight Soul Dive".
WHO WILL LIKE THIS ALBUM
Aleph Zero here deliver an album that dives further into ambience than their previous releases - if you enjoy the more floatational side of chill, this is one for you. Working the same rich vein of sleepy downtempo as Native State's 'Beneath The Surface and Ultimae's 'Albedo' - if you liked those albums you might want to check out the E-Flier for the album HERE.
