Grey Mirrors builds on what has gone before but this time atmosphere is everything. A
gentle bird song beckons you into the piece and what follows is a 42 minute, epic journey
though layers of time and emotion. The Glimmer Room's strengths lie in the ability to
present supremely melodic structures within a work with such emotional depth. In some
passages you are cocooned in a warm luminescence, feeling safe and untouchable as
lush choral washes wrap around you. Then the mood changes and you are thrown into an
unsettling, barren and misty landscape where you are confronted by the sinister scraping
of digital bits and bytes being smashed around a processor. As urgently as it arrives it is
gone and you are left floating, clarified in a place of great beauty.
Heralded as the new benchmark for the chill out album, Grey Mirrors is almost a
meditation. But every journey is as individual as the listener.
The ambience of the piece has been likened to the long grandiose intros of Pink Floyd
with the overpowering Englishness of John Foxx's Cathedral Oceans. While musically
comparisons range from Leftfield's Melt, the KLF's Chill Out, to the more chilled tracks
from The Future Sound of London. Add to this a sprinkle of sound design from Delia
Derbyshire and you will be close to the sound of this unique album.
