"Subtle and distressed drones of tranquility. Waves of noise blend with soothing chords to form a secluded space for those who which to hide from the world."

"James Buchanan, som Sparkes egentligen heter, är en engelsk oljudsmakare bosatt i Stockholm. Skickligt skapar han sällsamt vackra ljudlandskap, som gränsar mellan hotfull dark ambient och drömsk ambient-drone ála Rafael Anton Irrisarri och Anduin. Buchanans maskiner skär loss strimmor i mörkret och låter ljuset sippra in. Resultatet är imponerande och man vill genast ha mer."

“Ferrero Roche Limit” isn’t even new music, necessarily; instead, it’s “a compilation of tracks garnered from various j.g. sparkes releases and reimagined by the reclusive noise orchestrator himself.” What’s great though about these shifting drones and heavily elemental ambient soundscapes is that they retain their singular identities separate from their initial releases. Not that I went through and compared all these tracks or anything (in fact I certainly didn’t), but there’s a distinct individuality to them that distinguish them from one another. Also, the release sounds like the cover looks – a sepia photograph of a lonely road lined with trees at dusk.
