I’m impatient.
Welcome, dear readers, to the final third of the seventeenth of my reviews of Kahvi Collective releases. Kahvi Collective is a netlabel that specializes in Ambient and IDM music.
The seventeenth release of Kahvi Collective, “Mists of Time”, by 4T Thieves, is a 3 track EP, and the first multi track Kahvi release. Kahvi’s site heralds it with “Our man from great britain strikes back with awesome 3 track oldskool ambient / experimental ep:”, Let’s dive in. (Download the EP here.) This article reviews the third track of the EP, “Transcendental” (Here’s the first and second).
A shimmering plays before breaking into percussion round 52 seconds. This shimmering is never far from your ear, though. In and out, in and out, looping around the percussion. A second shimmer begins, before a flanging effect at 1:22 asserts itself, and a bouncing percusive sound effect plays as well. Evasive, this tune. These elements keep swirling in a circle, not really going anywhere. Additional sounds in the third minute. Perhaps my ears lack the patience to transcend?
