It starts gently. A babbling New Age stream of hypnotic high hats. Shimmering in delay. Making implict the relationship between Kosmische and Basic Channel`s Dub Techno. Submerging sampled dialogue. Twisting sine waves. Tight and metallic. Trance-inducing. Its march like a heart beat. An imagining of blood pumping. Coursing. Rumbling towards shadow. Rattling around in Jahiliyya Fields` haunted House. Drones skirting the vacuum of Tangerine Dream`s Zeit. Where even light cannot escape. A beacon blinking. But lost. An Industrial Ambient of David Lynch`s Eraserhead and Mica Levi`s Under The Skin. Where arpeggiated improvisations center circulating arcs of brassy, reed-like, noise. Its relative calm shifting pitch to something more psychedelic and menacing. A sonic sandstorm of mind-bending oscillations. A howling. A portal opening. Music not for the faint of heart. To be played in the dark. Alongside those Coil reissues and Cosey`s Time To Tell. Music that echoes experimental 1970s electronics. The 1980s horror mirrored in every contemporary analogue score. Sound accelerating and decelerating simultaneously. Phase shifting like Formula One gear changes. Stealth fighters in tailspins.
Dark They Were And Golden Eyed`s Design Your Dreams will be the second archival release on Trevor Jackson`s PRE-.
