Chain D.L.K. (Jan 2008)

FALSE MIRROR seems to be one of the first signings to the new Thonar-Records label and hails out of the Southern area of Germany. Musically you'll get a very own form of Dark Ambient music, which is pretty well presented under a conceptual moniker explained in its title, art and finally the music. The massive interest to take a musically journey into cold and mostly 'forgotten' areas on this world like the Russian atomic-test island 'Novaya Zemlya' or no-mans-land-like arctic areas seem to have had an impression on the artist. Like the beautiful painted cover already announces it a bit, FALSE MIRROR draw inspiration and power out of this areas and these ideas got transformed into a very static and cold Ambient sound-construction. The 5 presented tracks can be easily processed to more than 10 minutes long soundscapes. Even if conventional instruments asides of some field recordings have been used to give out a possible frequency of the tones, the extra-ordinary effect manipulations on this audio results is a sort of being authentic. This releases really drowns into a massive layer-sound-like effect manipulation and seems to be the right surrounding sound for some dark and long evening in front of a fire-place. An artistically valuable recording, but it requires time and interest of the listener.
