Ran Slavin’s CD is apparently meant to be a split CD with himself (an original approach I must admit). This release is also quite minimal, but contains more accessible sounds (loops and drones) from an instrumental background that form a warm, almost Mediterranean, atmosphere somewhere between the styles of Fennesz and Vance Orchestra. The overall CD is very nice, but I do not really understand why this is supposed to be a split release. The second half of the disc (the “split” side) is a bit colder in atmosphere, but contains the same style elements used on the first half, so it is simply a CD that contains two nice works.
