Review by Ethan Cohen/Connexion bizarre link
Not many artists can pull off creating an entire album of background
ambient music, but Herbst 9 has a significant history in being one of
the few that can.
With their latest album, “Buried Under Sand and Time”, Herbst
9 has successfully managed to bring what most would consider environmental
audio to the forefront. Rather than blending into the white noise of
everyday life, “Buried Under Sand and Time” manifests itself
as a beautiful and intricate soundscape of constant curiosity. While
subtle and intriguing, this album cannot be dismissed as boring simply
because there are so many divergent elements to the songs.
Each track has its own individual flavor, but when the album is listened
to continuously, said tracks blend together into one gorgeously written
and composed piece.
Final score: nine out of a possible ten habanero peppers.
