Brock Van Wey: White Clouds Drift On and On
Label: Echospace
Brock Van Wey is better known (and more prolific) as a dub techno artist under his pseudonym, Bvdub. His first album under his real name is ambient of the most beautiful sort, awash in vast swells of synthesizer chords but with more than enough variety of texture to reward attentive listening, including some vocal samples that are distinctive yet still fully within the mood of the six tracks. Rhythms are slow but inexorably forward-moving, making the album a sort of plush gentle juggernaut. On disc 2, Intrusion Interpretation, Stephen Hitchell AKA Intrusion offers remixes of Van Wey’s material. (Steve)
