In the beginning of September, a unique album was released, one created by two great artists Her Name Is Calla's T E Morris and fantastic cellist Jo Quail. It should've been anticipated that such an amount of talent would result in something special and so it happened as For the Benefit of All is just it.
The theme of the album is a bit surprising. Sci-fi, space, exploration - these are not what I would associate with neither of the artists. However, it is present everywhere, both in song titles (like in the fantastic reference to the tear-jerking last words of the Opportunity rover) in sample (from the album's very first track) and finally in the music - dark, futuristic, with hard-to-miss space vibes. Space ambient and very, very delicate strings and keys define this release.
It is the electronics that plays the main role, creating spacious, cosmic soundscapes and rather late turning the form into something louder (2116 (The Settlers)). Strings on the other hand are there for the atmosphere, one that's scary, sad and gloomy more than traditionally lofty. Similar thing with the keys that, although beautiful, sounds also threatening (especially in the brilliant 1610 (The Polymath from Pisa). Also, the titles themselves are worth talking about - all of them consist of years when something important for the space exploration happened or... will happen as most of them is situated in the future. Great idea.
For the Benefit of All costs 6 GBP.
