sweetwater

alan · October 2, 2000

Coming from mysterious New York artist LLIPS. joined by silver records/u-cover founder Koen Lybaert, this is yet another awesome project on this growing label. This completes the third of the four installments available so far from u-cover.

Always keeping with introspective ambient themes, “Sweetwater” completes more stages of heart-felt emotions and sentimental environments. From my knowledge, LLips. provides all the acoustical guitar environments and soundscapes while Koen Lybaert accents and complements the rifts with subtle synthetics sounds of nature and alluringly warm and depressive stringscapes.

Soft underwater railway passages are entangled with acoustic pictures of autumn. Enlightening soft swelling string movements free the mind to wander about while enjoying the crisp clean air and sounds of nature. Cascading transitional atmospheres collide and disintegrate like leaves that fall to their death. Wind picks them up for one last journey. I took that one last step into the depths of what I may never experience again, until I put this place into my head again for one last walk into the warm rays of the setting sun.
