In a time where rock music is all the rage, the UK Heights succeeds in
blending synthesized and natural sounds into a seamlessly smooth album
of dreamy atmospherics.
Ambients recalls the dark hypnotic beauty of the music of Projekt label favorites Love Spirals Downwards in their more electronic album Flux full of the same moody textures that
reflect a mind state of perpetual. relaxation. The 5 tracks on this
album range from 6 minutes to almost 19 minutes long, and each seems to
reflect a slightly different mood or dream.
From the hauntingly dark "Love and intent" to the more uplifting "Rushes
(will's way)," this album ebbs and flows so smoothly that it seems
effortless despite the 2 years this band spent recording it. The liner
notes reflect the spiritual nature of the music, with photographs of
coastlines, birds, mountains, trees, and fire. As in tune with nature as
with their synthesizers, the UK Heights have produced some relaxingly
beautiful mood music—a welcome break from the overpowering beats of
today's rock and techno acts.
