*Duration of this track is 11:46, so I had to cut this in two parts*
I don't like to name a most favourite track by an artist, but if I had to choose one by Bvdub, this one will be it.
My thoughts flow away into deep memories of my life. Maybe not the most happy memories, but there is always a bright road ahead. This track really get's me everytime I listen to it.
===================================
This track is on "Return To Tonglu":
-- The fourth installment in the much sought-after Quietus series, and once again it's label head Brock Van Wey, aka Bvdub, on a supremely atmospheric, layered tip. Each of the four tracks here clocks in at between ten and twelve minutes, with similar motifs hanging and re-appearing through each of the tracks. "Return to Tonglu" opens the set immersed in the warm glow of classic ambience but soon unfurls to unveil a padded rhythm section and a succession of warm tones and samples that evolve and restructure through the following 12 minutes to almost narcotic effect. 'Always on the outside" envelops itself in a cushioned bliss of textures, strings and clipped vocal samples, sounding not unlike classic Seefeel, Shuttle 358 or even, in places, Lifeforms-era FSOL. "The Road Home" engineers a more digital percussive edge that plays off against the sedate soundscaping, bringing a more broken, glitchy feel to proceedings, but it's the ten minute closing track "It's Too Late" that completely seals the deal with a gorgeously delicate and self-restrained padded layering that's almost modern-classical in places and again in line with those Shuttle 358 comparisons that so endeared us to the last release on this label. Very lovely, and very very limited...--
