John Waterman * Calcutta Gas Chamber (cd 2006 cold spring)

John Waterman also appeared on the “Swarm” compilation, but I don’t really remember the track. Judging from the Cold Spring biography we have a multi-artist who makes films, photos and music. He decided to make the soundtracks for his films himself and this resulted in a soundscape approach of experimental ambient. “Calcutta Gas Chamber” goes from Tehôm-like ambient-scapes (but not as dark) to more noisy tracks with a lot of samples and strange sounds. Also there are very (not to say: too) minimalistic, monotous tracks. Overall this cd sounds pretty exciting and it sure is an album to put on, sit back and just listen.
