Jim Cole + Spectral Voices create intimate Ambient Music by the
simplest means. Using only their voices and both natural
reverberation and a few electronic effects, this ensemble
produces powerful soundscapes drawn from a deep interior
silence. The CD INNERTONES (71'14") compiles six pieces
from various points in the evolution of this unique vocal group.
Every track has its own character and energy. From joyous and
celebratory to minimalistic and ceremonial, INNERTONES
aspires to the highest levels of human expression. The
premise of Cole's work comes from the most fundamental of
processes, that of breathing. Each singer vocalizes a note in
harmony (and in coordination) with their partners in this
wondrous sonic experience. Waves of sound resonate beyond
the individual parts to create voice-filled ethereal sound
structures. Both chilling and glorious, the whistling overtones
that characterize this singing style magically materialize in the
swirling atmosphere above the sustaining bass and mid-range
lines. A fragile apparitional sound, this mystical second tone
above the root note comes from just one singer - and provides a
deeply profound listening experience. The soft presence of
INNERTONES accesses the innate, yet often untold, gentility of
mankind, and speaks of a hope for healing in a world that
seems filled with aggression.

EMISSARIES by Radio Massacre Int'l

Radio Massacre Int'l is a trio of English musicians (Steve
Dinsdale, Duncan Goddard, Gary Houghton) known for their
extended concerts of epic aural excursions. Performances are
largely improvised and often veer off into areas dictated by mood,
circumstance or whim. RMI's recorded output reflects the
diversity and complexity of this work, which is often compared to
that of the Berlin-School of cosmic music. But RMI is not simply
re-creating the music of this era, rather further exploring and
contemplating the expressional mode and the instruments that
made it possible - in hopes of realizing new ideas.

Each of the two CDs in the double disc set EMISSARIES by
Radio Massacre Int'l, presents a distinctive facet of this
interesting trio of English Spacemusicians. Disc 2: "Ancillary
Blooms" (76'26") is a live album recorded on the 05.09.04
broadcast of STAR'S END. The two one hour sets were edited
down so as to fit on this CD, and flow along a subtle spatial arc
suitable for late-night listening. Within this setting the sonic
inventions are more discovered than composed as the trio tends
to explore areas of texture and mood. The ensuing musical
themes grew out of an improvisational interaction that could not
have been planned, nor repeated.
