RecommendAncient Monsters is a duo comprised of keyboardist Murray Henderson and Guitarist David Sergeant (each also chipping in on sampling and other studio effects). The five long songs on this release create a gorgeous, slightly forboding drone, like the "Beyond The Infinite" scene in 2001 extended. It feels like a soundtrack that decide between Eraserhead or Koyanisqatsi, but thinking of both gives you a great sense of the intent. "The Gospel According to" and "Life out of balance part 1,2, &3" are the signature tracks to this soundscape. Equally powerful are the other three tunes, which are good for both meditation and escape. Losing yourself in a record and liking yourself more when you come out the other end is a rarity; so is this release.
