"Arcanum" is a deep ritualistic journey from Mathias Grassow, Rudiger Gleisberg and Amir Baghiri. The deep minimalist soundscapes reflect the diverse influences that these three performers bring to the table. Techno tribal passages, deep synth drones, dark atmospheres and arid desert ethnicities fill every corner of this soundworld.The density of the gray soundscape is otherworldly. I found myself journeying to foreign lands and exotic locales, some beyond our atmosphere. I went willingly as the deep rhythms and dark drones seduced me and prepared me for anything.I had a very powerful cleansing experience. Amir's deep desert washes, Mathias' spiritual manipulations and Rudiger's dark drones surrounded me safely and warmly as we explored the darker sides of my psyche. That protection empowered me to look beyond the dark to see the light on the other side of my inner self. Finally, refreshed and rejuvenated, we returned to the here and now. I look forward to more journeys with this trio of master electronicians."
