NERATERRÆ - The Substance of Perception (2019) EN

Amazing thing, for Alessio Antoni and his project called NERATERRÆ it is a debut album but the quality of the airy ambient music and the collaborating guests take the breath away. The Substance of Perception is, as for now, the very best album of this genre this year.

The projects working together with Antoni on this album are the first thing that draws attention from the very beginning. Because there is Alexey Tegin from the very universally acclaimed Phurpa and Ugasanie and, for me the mot important one, Duncan Ritchie or Flowers for Bodysnatchers. And more. No wonder we deal with such a fantastic music quality here.

The said music goes from intimate soundscapes interlaced with samples (Shadows of Regret) to dark and unsettling spaces (To Reveal the Unseen, Becoming the Nightmare) and to subtle neoclassicism (Echoing Stars). This last track, recorded with Flowers for Bodysnatchers together with To Reveal... that includes Tegin's gloomy hooting are clearly the brightest (metaphorically because they are not bright at all) fragments of the well balanced and absolutely magnificent album.

The Substance of Perception costs 7 EUR.
