Zoät-Aon - Star autopsy (2005)

I took many unnecessary steps to bring much needed coolness into my life this summer. I tried everything from cold drinks to conjuring the mighty Blasyrkh by listening to some Immortal. Horgh and Abbath failed me miserably and only managed to raise the overall humidity by casting down a palmful of pisswarm rain. Thanks a bunch guys! It was time to dig out the big guns.

This time I decided to root for the native alternative, Zoät-Aon, which is cold and otherworldy dark ambient created by my compatriot Jaakko Vanhala. A member of the Helixes collective and released on the Aural Hypnox-label, the music is a chilling blend of electronic and acoustic source sounds, utilizing everything from field recordings and analogue synthesizers to more ritualistic instruments like the human thighbone trumpet and Tibetan singing bowls.

Except for a few similarities in aspect and sound to the great Inade and I.Corax, which just happens to be Jaakko's other project, this is top notch dark ambient that's simply full of life and moving textures. Get entangled in the cold and unexplainable cosmos, today! Highly recommended!

    This is some spooky shit. Definitely worth downloading if you like moody and dark ambient without being some one drone bore. 5 stars (out of five).

    Spooky is definitely the right word to describe it! If you haven't heard the rest of the Aural Hypnox-groups, you really should! Most of the stuff easily get's a "two thumbs up" from me, really consistent and high class ambient and experimental releases!
