This release by Doltz, a Japanese band released on the South Korean record label Huinali Recordings, came to me by sheer good fortune. The music is far more interesting than most ‘ambient’ or techno music these days namely due to it being played on what sounds like a combination of traditional instruments and some electronic processing, though if it is purely electronic, the band have done wonders with the sound.. The pulses are gentle, individual tones have a haunting quality, and this should pass muster with the hardest core aficionados of the genre. A stunningly good release.
