nomine: blind man

Blind Man, Nomine's fifth 12" for Tempa, offers his most atmospheric and immersive music to date. The gently plucked strings and trickling water of "Blind Man" summon up a meditative warmth mingled with inescapable creeping anxiety, all underpinned by seething sub-bass. "To the Sky" is a beautiful, vast abyss of a track; Iustina's vocals drift amid reedy drones and environmental sound, in an unlikely nexus between Coil and the rugged sound-system intensity of Digital Mystikz. "Nomine's Robot" is a sleek, broken techno slow-burner with an entire echo chamber's worth of reverberating drums; hypnotic dancefloor manna for the very early hours.
