David Ralicke returns to AKP Recordings with "Spiral" - a six hour long project that collects ten drones used as building blocks for his debut self-titled album I reviewed in May. Presented here in both twenty minute and fifty-five minute variations, the slow burning tones drift smoothly like a sleepy spaceship without fuel, lost in the minimal cosmic void. I doubt anyone will be able to digest this behemoth in one sitting, even the press info says to use it instead to "meditate, clean your dishes, or watch your tea brew in the morning sun", and that's perfectly fine - the beauty of such a unique recording is that it has an infinite replay value that can be appreciated without worrying about the track order or even the classic song structure. Just press play and zone out.
"Spiral" is out on Bandcamp here, you can also enjoy it by streaming it down below.
