Electronic Recordings From Maui Jungle Vol 2 CD

Back in 2013, Surgeon released the first of a string of albums under his given name, Anthony Child. Like the material that followed - and in particular, last year's sublime Electronic Recordings From Maui Jungle - The Space Between People & Things saw him swap intense techno rhythms for the beat-less beauty of classic ambient. Predictably, he's rather good at creating evocative soundscapes, as this latest horizontal adventure - once again recorded during a fruitful trip to Maui - emphatically proves. It offers a fully electronic, analogue-sounding take on ambient music clearly inspired by the cyclical movements of Steve Reich and hypnotic compositions of Terry Riley, with the producer's widespread use of in-situ field recordings adding an extra layer of atmosphere.
