Uncertainty Principle - Movement of the Spheres

Incredibly dreamy and trippy - 80%

deathtoto, December 2nd, 2006

S.P. White seems to be a very inspired man when it comes to minimalist extreme music: Not only has he released over 15 albums for his main project Uncertainty Principle, but he also has several other side projects (Dynamical System Collective, ThoraxEmbalmer and Edge of Darkness, to name a few) in which he explores different aspects of unconventional, disturbing music.

Let us concentrate on the album that interests us here: Movement Of The Spheres saw the light in 2003, is composed of two tracks of over 20 minutes each and is an insane piece of music. It sounds really different from Distant (which I reviewed some months ago), and I was agreably surprised when I heard this. One is first dragged away from the earth at inhuman speed, and then one gets crushed under thick layers of delayed guitars. One feels dissociated from the physical world. The trip is intense, very intense; as much soul crushing as a Beyond Black Void track, if not more.

Even if the music is ultra repetitive, it has this hypnotic effect that is also present on Distant and probably on most other Uncertainty Principle releases, which prevents you from pressing the "stop" button and forces you to go through the whole CD. You will have been warned. One last advice before you start your journey: listen to this as loudly as possible.
