TAIGA REMAINS - Thereafter

Alex Cobbs Taiga Remains project pushes the exact opposite vibes as the name of his Students of Decay label. With use of nothing but guitar and pedals Cobb materializes lush and precise drones which seem to come directly out of the air. So heavy and powerful that they dont even seem to exist, nor could they come from any instrument / human. Total peace and solitude; meditative Eastern vibes transcendent in and of themselves. The A sides Winter Tai-Tung" is a light and breezy trip through the mist, growing unconsciously, beyond notice until the track ends. The B sides "Spring Shan-Lin-Shi" recalls visions ten seconds of prayer service slowed down and stretched into ten minutes, like the sound right after a bell rings hung in static forever.
