Skrow026: Ellipse / Saffron Slumber - Translucence

Ellipse / Saffron Slumber - Translucence

Awash in a ceaseless cloud of lost memories, reaching for light.  We find ourselves in a sea of our own reckoning, clutching driftwood to our bared breasts, a subtle heat radiating from within that warms the cool mists around us.  The atmosphere thickens, becomes as a gelatin which slows our existence and reflects us from within until, finally, we are encased in an unfrozen ice of our deepest fears and desires; static, yet internally vivified.  We shatter into numberless shards, waltzing silently in scintillating bliss as we dissipate into the air.  The cycle begins anew.

So it is that we present the first (and certainly not the last) split release from Skrow! fellows Ellipse and Saffron Slumber.  It showcases arguably some of the greatest work of two fine artists of complimentary mentality and style while exploring a vast musical space of mystique and airy melancholia.  Assume an appropriately fetal position and adorn your ears with a suitable binaural apparatus.  Surround yourself in translucence, close your eyes and peer through.
