CREATION

Creation is much better than Moon, but still isn't great. I'm actually very comforted that I only had to check Phrozenlight's next album to find some positive progression in sound. Creation is still an uneventful album, but this time we have changes in tone and positive ambience rather than a constant earsplitting drone. The atmosphere of this album is very airy and angelic, and kind of warm. It's very slow in tempo as most ambient tends to be, but this is what I call "background ambience" rather than the much more impressive "foreground ambience". The changes in tone are nice, and they don't have me checking to see if the track is messed up every couple of minutes from lack of direction.

Again, as with the last album, I'd like to see more progression. This album is actually quite pleasant to listen to, and includes nice field recordings of birds, but these tracks are long enough for some serious development rather than uneventful emptiness. Since this is only the second album and direct successor of the previous album I reviewed and it's already much better, I'm fairly excited to continue on my Phrozenlight journey. I'd feel safe in recommending this free album to fans of Eno's Music for Airports.
