Title: Deep Space ambience for headphones
Product review: Pete "Sonic Boom" Kember started his solo career following the same path he had first forged is Spacemen 3, working with pop-based formats and including synthesizers and effects. His Experimental Audio Research moniker was an excuse to dabble in ambient experiments. Kember has pretty much thrown away his song based leanings and dove headfirst into ambient/drone work. Which is a good thing, especially when you make an album like this. The tracks don't vary much in sound or structure, but there is a soothing edginess present here that makes this album more than background noise. Only track three lags behind; it is similar to earlier Sonic Boom solo material but doesn't fit with the rest of these songs. All the other songs are superb for headphone listening late at night, on rainy days, or during space travel. This is probably what it sounds like when you travel down the tunnel to the white light to stand before the pearly gates.
