Cilice - Searching For The Memories They Hold

I'm not a huge noise or power electronics fan, but when it's done as good as this latest tape from Cilice you have to pay attention. Released by UK-based drone / ambient label Nouvelle Gaze, "Searching For The Memories They Hold" is a captivating sonic excavation and exploration of lost thoughts, images and experiences. Walls of sound collapse, clash, disintegrate and morph into different entities while atmospheric, ambient like tones float effortlessly in the background. Listening to this album feels like watching that famous Terminator 2 dream scene of a busy playground and the whole world burning around it.
