Black Hole UK Schallplatten & CDs

Review: When he first rose to prominence as a progressive house artist in the mid 1990s, Brian "BT" Transeau was something of a trailblazer: a classically trained artist who created a mixture of grandiose ambient compositions and dancefloor fare smothered in spiraling orchestration. "Between Here & You", his latest album, falls in the former category, offering an evocative journey through ambient sound worlds every bit as alluring as his earliest work. Tracks drift, pulse and slowly unfurl, with Transeau mixing subtle orchestration and disconnected female voices with impeccably atmospheric electronics and copious amounts of reverb and delay. In other words, its horizontal music that's best enjoyed with the lights off and your eyes closed.
