Dark-Experimental-Noise-Ambient = Hazard's Lech, a temptuous & delicious aural experience combining a myriad of sound samples, sequences, and a healthy does of drone which creates a master release in these cross genres. Ominous soundscapes pour over into electro-waterfalls of dreamy slow trance-like movements pulling the listener into the music. Rumblings and water trickling mark track one, "Time Dilation", with slow long subtle noise drone in the background and quiet yet noticeable high pitch squeek swerving in and out of the bulk of the sounds.
"Puzzlebox" alludes to waves of pulsing sounds layered with a symphony of noises all pulsing in unison to the peak synth intensities captured on this aural canvas.
Deep space is brought to mind in "The Shamble" with a muffled black hole noise drone background coupled with sequenced keys that dance along to interjections of hydraulics and softly spoken words I can't quite make out. A haunting vision of a space rammer pilot on a long mission caught in a time warp and the spooky sounds recorded to tape during the mission comes to mind. Excellent track.
"Wrapped In Plastic" is an eerie ride into an abyss with long pulses of drone and swirling escapes of synth...while "Real Burning Love" magnifies a mode unlike the first four tracks with a raspy buzzing composition including chimes and symphonic tones engaging with yet more pulsing -- a compelling work, sawing its way into the center of my mind with a taste of eastern influence.
"Medicine Show" sounds as if it was recorded in deep in a cave as if the sounds bounced off walls spaced at various distances consecutively -- deep slowly evolving drum pulses and sonic jet propulsive echoes elongated with haunting drones blend into a dynamic embrace. "Eight Hour Drive" is yet another dark experimental ambient piece marked by winding drone and synthetic growling.
All the tracks on Lech, are equally interesting and rich in ambient noise tones. High quality composition and sound coupled with the dynamic experimentation of synth is what makes the works of Hazard a hearty asset to my collection.
