Superlative dark ambient ritual and clandestine synth fantasy from frontman for electrock band K-X-P, starkly ruminating on cults, and feelings of psychic manipulation and claustrophobia - Tipped if yr into Alan WIlder/Recooil via Cucina Povera, Mika Vainio, Lambda Sond, Alessandro Cortini, The Haxan Cloak.
Among the best, most original Optimo Music releases in recent memory, Timo Kaukolampi’s debut under his own name ‘Inside The Sphere’ presents an inception-like dark dream topography of negative space. Exquisitely nuanced and patient with it, the album will reward those with well kept night goggles and the ability to see in the dark, so as best to discern the fathomless layers of synths that will no doubt lure you into his unfolding worlds-within-worlds.
The nearly hour-long trip oscillates between regressions and reverberant zones of folk-drone shared by Cucina Povera, with hypnotic, pulsing tracts that patently recall his departed, fellow Finn, Mika Vainio and Pan Sonic, as much as Alessandro Cortini’s tunnelling structures. There’s a commanding sense of purpose to the album’s sequencing as the pent, stoic procession of its title tune gives way to the off-centre heartbeat of ‘VCS3’, coaxing richly immersive tones from the famous synth, thru to its uncannily beautiful, cinematic arrangement of choral glossolalia in ‘Ee-Nni-Aa-Ssa’ and a striking conclusion of guttural thrum and kosmiche panoramics.
