Ben Reynolds really is a magician. the songs he crafts are truly otherworldly and magical. his drones are among some of the best out there, and yet he doesn't rely simply on droning his cd-rs out, there is diversity in every release! his is the definition of "space music." well, it's definitely out there at least.
this is his cd-r "Earth And Space Magics" released on the mighty Pseudo Arcana label. it starts with a spaced out raga that has chirps and voices all over it with weird echoes and reverb everywhere and a low hum of his voice holding out one note for the entire track. then he gets a little new-agey "hearts of space" territory, but that isn't really a bad thing. in fact, it works because it's not done with synth, so it sounds very organic and fresh. then, when you might be getting a little droned out, he comes back with a steel-stringed piece that will make all you Six Organs Of Admittance fans swoon, with bells and chimes laid all over his sweetly plucked guitar. he finishes the cd off with another drone piece, this one getting close to Ashtray Navigations territory, a great way to end a really great cd.
check it out, a very peaceful and spacey listen.
