Fescal ::: Endorphin [1798:003]
Dark and meandering with a purpose, Fescals Endorphin is several bits and pieces of sound that range from the rich murkiness of "Hollow Spirit" and "Moon man" to the bright ethereal "Waltzing Nature" and everything in between "13 Door Cinema" is full of textures, with sounds morphed into something resembling the crumpling and folding of clicks.
Melodies and rhythms in the conventional sense are pretty much off limits, though "Sheep Dip" does have a semi-steady cadence of sorts.
More often, the result is similar to "Frozen Time" with no discernible beats or discrete notes. Rather, this is about complex floating music with unusual palpable, and palatable, textures. "Atlas Air" is typical of the dark tone that permeates the 7 tracks, though light does occasionally stream through on tracks such as "Moon Man" and "Waltzing Nature" Track titles are as diverse and puzzling as the fascinating musical journey itself - Ronny Engmann (1798).

This year has been busy for Fescal, a British native residing in the South Korea at the moment, having previously released some issues under Black Square (Omnia), and Bypass (Lethal Industry) AD 2010.
However, endorphin is in effect a good substance for one`s brain to lift up the mood and give a firm push for a subject`s further movings and actions. The essential question is, should it always be designed into a variegated output or might it be the matter of sparseness as well?
Regarding an example of Fescal`s new one, I can admit that the last named possibility has also a solid perspective, though. 7 tracks consisting of sparse layers of ambient, throbbing microtextures, subtle tape hiss-based ingredients and darkwave-esque harmonies. Even a half-way inbetween ambient and krautrock-alike touch are conjured here (Sheep Dip), and the glass bead game of Door Cinema (with the assistance of loops, droning microsounds, and musique concrete).
Indeed, by its mood the sonority of the whole at times does consist strange (dystopic) impulses of an isolated place somewhere. Here the writer says that the best tracks are the two last ones (Waltzing Nature; Frozen Time) and the first one (Hollow Spirit), finding out and acquiring mightily epic point of views.
It to estimate the album from the ideal perspective of ambient and experimental music, the result is getting proportionally close to the final end - Recent Music Heroes.
