SIGNAL TO NOISE

Robert Henke has some favorite works among the electronic music fans outside the exclusively progressive tagging needed here in PA. This 2004 release "Signal to Noise" is one of those works.

No wonder why. As soon as its full/empty dronescapings begin the air transforms itself into a different shade of transparency, as his hypnotic crumbs lead and invite those, eager to listen, to his private garden of transmuting delights. An aural place where beauty has no shame and of course no vanity. Where dark is dark without over worked "obscure/bad boy" pretentions.

No wonder why I keep on looking for new electronic music when I , between hits and hundred misses, find out such an attractive electronic/drone release.

Three independent tracks, wrapped into an earth/cosmos two way transmission concept, each one stripped down to their minimal structures but openly wide in depth, direction and creativity.

****4 PA stars.
