Synopsis

Product Description
Dragyyn was completely improvised & left unadorned, using no overdubs whatsoever. The music exposes an astonishing degree of texture, depth & balance. Whittling miles of improvised recordings down to 6 varied pieces which stretch just over the 1 hr mark, Surface of Eceyon dress up their 3 guitar flurry to the nines in a colorful wardrobe of effects, directed by motorik rhythms alternating between propulsive pulses & impressionist decor

CD Reviews

An Impressive Trip
L. Jordan Bickel | Austin, TX USA | 04/02/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"The King Beneath the Mountain is beautiful without being sappy or wistful. Its awash in guitars and large sound scapes.
It is great atmosphere music while being complex and deep enough to listen closely to over and over..."
Surface Of Eceon - 'The King Beneath The Mountain' (Strange
Mike Reed | USA | 02/09/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Superb atmospheric transcendent, krautrock-influenced 21st century space rock, would be the best way to describe this first of two (so far) piece of work by Surface Of Eceon. Know I've seen their name before. Tunes here that'll your hairs standing on end are the wailing opener "The Open Sea", "Grasshopper King" and the sixteen minute tripping "Ascension To The Second Tier". Should likely appeal to loyal followers of Bardo Pond, Abunai!, Windy&Carl, Kinski and possibly Flying Saucer Attack. Simply a must-have."
Intelligent instrumentals
John L Murphy | Los Angeles | 05/14/2006
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Spacemen 3, Eno, Kinski, Krautrock, Pink Floyd in their spacy early stage: these all can be tasted by those sampling this instrumental mix of ambient beauty and sinister tension. Well-crafted, varied in textures and rich in detail of sounds layered and sequenced slowly and inexorably: this is intelligent music too loud to chill by, too complex to dream by, but just right to think by. This and their second album showcase this enigmatic collective's talent, and I only hope that more of their music makes its way to the surface."
