Providing a worthy follow up to "A View From A Vulnerable Place", was always going to difficult, but Sense has has pulled it of, and them some. This time, the sound is perhaps more minimal, yet equally emotive crunchy electronica, in the vein of labels like Skam and Toytronic. "Tunnel Vision" is a personal highlight, with it's slow build and foreboding layers of ambience, resembling Bola at his finest. Outstanding. Author: JeanMarcDekesel Sense approaches ambient from a very nice angle, kind of Morr gets boosted by SKAM what can also be translated as: you take the fragility and quietness of the Morr label, add the forceful sub activity and dynamic aphex clicking of the SKAM label and shake those to emotive perfection. Author: Boomkat Adam Raisbeck’s Sense project returns to us following his excellent album for Neo Ouija with this beautifully serene 11-tracker for the U-Cover label. “Learning To Be” nestles itself against electronic fabric that’s designed for scene-setting and evocative landscaping, opening with the lilting tones of album opener “Ex T Nerla” and its gentle chord progressions and squashed beats. At times bringing to mind Arovane’s excellent “Atol Scrap” set for Din, tracks like “Flask” , “Tunnel Vision” and “Icyltap” state their intent with a gloriously arranged tapestry of electronic melodies while the percussion alligns itself with a good dose of the crunch. Album closers “Human Buffer Zone” and “Hiadam”, meanwhile, stretch into long slivers of beatless ambience and harmonising that bring to mind Eno’s Appolo or, on a more contemporary basis, Lexaunculpt’s more atmospheric, symphonic work. Excellent stuff all-round – highly recommended.
