The days people didn't exhaust the natural resources.
That is what Shane Morris and Mystified wanted to capture in this release on lotuspike.
During the last years Thomas Park laid hands on acoustic instruments to create really interesting drones.
As some of the drones created where already tracks on their own, Shane Morris used them to create this pre-manned earth epoch dreamland.
The first track really lets you swim with all the creatures who ruled the seas during the Cambrian Explosion.
Small little bells sounds create a nice under water tinkling feeling while the layered drones thicken the track for the miles-under-water feeling.
The second track marks the beginning of amphibians crawling on to land.
A couple of sea-like sounds combined with more open sounds that mark the beginning of the transfer from water to land.
The third track tells the story of the most severe extinction event yet to have ever occurred on this planet.
This track really brings up emotions of loss and despair. It almost brought tears too my eyes once.
The last track marks the beginning of the time when the large dinosaurs ruled this planet.
The drones are more layered and create a sound as if a hurdle of large Sauropods cross the vast landmasses.
This CD is best listened through a good set of headphones, as their are very ingenious but subtle changes in the drones and tones used for this outstanding CD.
As for me this release could easily be the score for the Walking with Dinosaurs TV series.
