Spirits in Ambience: “SIA”
The music here is kind of a cool, electronica-disco. It’s not Ambient, with a capital ‘A’, but it’s got some smooth atmospheric pleasure-dome effects to it. I tell, you though, it’s pretty hard to like the first cut when you keep hearing Hitler’s voice over and over (track #1, “Submission”)
Anyway, the rest of this four-song EP has some midnight-black, ominous-sounding dance-jams that would not be out of place at your local downtown nightclub; there are stylish guitar loops, a flashy drum machine, a sexy-sounding female singing in French and pulsing electronica wigging out in many layers. It would go well for your date with that tall blond German girl. Check out the website – http://www.aurorablue.com – KM.

Spirits in Ambience (s/t)
This is kind of a concept album – there is an accompanying paper that came with my copy on which every song title is deconstructed and the meanings of the songs are spelled out for interested listeners. Spirits in Ambience is the project of producers Mark Peacock and Greg Vossberg; they’ll take you on a magical dance journey and you’ll be gyrating non-stop before the whole thing is over. Mark Peacock is the progenitor and proprietor of Aurora Blue, an ambient music society that is putting out this trippy essence of ether. This is their pet project but they have big plans for the future, which will be bright, indeed.

The music on this CD is much more laid back, ambient stuff than the dance-y four-song EP, “SIA”. “Spirits in Ambience” is a more grown up, chill-out record, a fabulous, swirling vortex of the stuff dreams are made.

It sort of reminds me a little of Orbital, the 1990s trippy dance-ambient sensation, albeit SIA add a touch of the earthy along with the ethereal. Instead of getting up to dance, “Spirits in Ambience” will make you want to get down and make love, go on a nature hike or slip into a blissful trance.

Interwoven with the mechanized electronic dance dubs is some flamenco guitar, some bluesy electric guitar, a bit of violin with a pick up played through effects pedals and other humanizing touches that add a great flair to it, that give it all some soul. Especially in the last few cuts, things let loose, hair is let down and the disco energy is adulterated with some electric bugaloo microdots
