Various: White Genesis (The Salt Line Continuum) LP

Light Sounds Dark back with a fresh double-album selection supposing mystic lines of enquiry between ancient and modern worlds for those who like to join dots and let the imagination wander.

The clues are in the cover art for ‘White Genesis (The Salt Line Continuum)’ which, as ever for Light Sounds Dark, keeps the track list under wraps while letting the music and sequencing do the talking. To expand, the facia depicting lines from an early Zimbabwean capital to Rosslyn Chapel, Scotland, and Jerusalem to Zurich, plus shipping trade routes in the Indian Ocean, implies a world of symbolic links that resonate instrumentally on the music, which drifts from milky kosmische to zonked cinematic fanfare, via durational passages of briny bleeps, tape loops, and head-unravelling drone from nether realms.

Don mental armour, gird thy loins, and head deep into the unknown with expectations agog for best results.
