Asterios (Astro) Wonderful ambient album by Cousin Silas! :-)

Paul Asbury Seaman 3rd Jan., 2021. Broke my first New Year’s Rez. already. Wasn’t going to buy any new albums for a few months (acquired so many last year). But this first release of the year by Cousin Silas is just too good, he at his mellow, textural best. I just had to have instant gratification. That’s what Cousin Silas gives you on Submerged. (A perfect merging of theme and genre, too!) One of his best in recent years, from this impossibly prolific artist whose artistic standards are consistently high. Favorite track: Derwent.

about

Abandoned villages, for me, are fascinating places. The lost history, the forgotten lives and the long gone murmer of rural life. What I find more intriguing, however, are those select few villages that have been lost with coastal erosion, or abandoned due to the valley where they were situated being 'converted' into reservoirs. In some cases parts of the buildings occasionally, during droughts or low tides, emerge. Urban legends of bells tolling from the old church, be that submerged or managing to breath again as the water slowly recedes.

All seven tracks are named, and partially inspired, by submerged villages. Obviously there are many more across the UK, but most featured are relatively 'local', or at least in Yorkshire and there's varying degrees of information about them on the Internet. Who'd have thought you could learn history whilst submerging yourself in music? I'd like to thank Si Rouse for the photo for the cover.

What Remains
by Steve Roach

supported by 31 fans who also own “Submerged”

If I wanted to point someone to Steve Roach's music, I'd start them here. This record spans some of Roach's signature styles, like the percolating synths in "Currents of Compassion", the dreamy abstraction of "Prometheus Passage", the tribal rhythms of "The Gone Place", and the elegiac majesty of "What Remains". It's stunning all around and guaranteed to make any day better. fyeahmetal
