The Deep Listening
label consistently pleases and this outing by the New Circle Five is no
exception. The title is spot on. It’s calming yet restive and occupies a
territory hard to define.
I was looking at
photos of bacteria and archaea while I was listening to this. They fit
very well with the character of the music: mysterious, subtle, gentle,
non-obtrusive, intangible and refreshingly alien. And yet, like those
microscopic creatures, the music here is a part of our unfamiliar world
that is made vivid here.
