Sacrifice
Divination
Subharmonic
This is more like it. A purely ambient album from Laswell project Divination.
Divination seems to be his electronica/ambient/dub vehicle. I say his lightly, as Laswell tends to underplay himself instrumentally, his role chiefly is to bring together disparate musicians and elements. Like his outfit Material, the personnel and music style here varies from album to album.
On this album, electric zither player Laraaji peels off shimmery chords and lets them sail around in the aether. The effect is a lot like the wind playing on the water. Laswell's understated bass makes an occasional appearance on the horizon, in a call and response to Laraaji's zither.
Beautiful.
