Glass Forest

Glass Forest is a highly listenable starting point for any newcomers curious about Daniel Menche's vast discography. It is also, according to Menche, the last cd he will release.

From now on he'll be releasing his music on LP only or on DVD to accompany films he's been working on. Glass Forest is also the companion release to Body Melt which is being released simultaneously on Important on LP only.Recorded in the winter of 2005, Daniel Menches Glass Forest displaysa glistening sound world that finely textured with the most delicate ofraw organic sound and chaotic electronic noise. Not at all extreme aswith Menches previous work but rather a more subtle presence can beheard here on Glass Forest. Subsonic bass drums crawling underneath amassive sheets of glass-like sound layering infinitely into a thickand dense forest of delicate noise. For fans of Daniel Menche's ambientwork and also his loud violent work, Glass Forest fits exactly right inthe middle of these two polarities.
