Labyrinth (2CDr edition)

by Various Artists

supported by

Instant Tomato God The compilation gives a wonderful insight into the current sound environment of the Dark Ambient. Unique and with depth. Thank you. Favorite track: Necrophorus - Tre.

FX666 Wonderful Compilation from all around the world. Just again a masterpiece. Favorite track: Soliloqua - Hostile To The Past.

Eve McGivern This is all prime dark ambient and drone that, if you like the genres, you really should be checking out. Take a journey through the spiraling environmental ambience of Monocube, the apocalyptic drones of Sonologyst, industrial field sounds of Xerxes the Dark, cold chattering noises of Ashtoreth, dystopian psychedelic transmissions of Silent Chaos, and the apocalyptic ears of vÄäristymä that lend the perfect backdrop of primordial extinction against today's movement toward humanity's extinction. Favorite track: Monocube - Luft.

about

The labyrinth combines the imagery of the circle and the spiral into a meandering but meaningful path. It is a powerful metaphor for life's journey, but it also provides a particularly satisfying neurological experience. Our brains operate differently in a labyrinth, it seems, and therefore, we become different people, even for just a few minutes.
To understand labyrinths, you must first understand that a labyrinth is not a maze. Mazes must be solved, a left brain activity that involves choices and an active mind and logical, sequential, linear thinking. A maze is multicursal, with many paths. If you don't pay attention, you can get lost in one. Not so with a labyrinth. It is unicursal – one way in, one way out. There are no decisions, no choices, no thinking required. The only choice is to enter. To walk one is a right brain activity involving intuition, creativity, and imagination, and it requires a receptive mindset. You must trust the path, surrender to it.

A labyrinth is not a puzzle; it is a mystery. Theologian Diogenes Allen illuminates the difference: "When a problem is solved, it is over and done with. We go on to other problems. But a mystery, once recognized, is something we are never finished with. Instead, we return to it again and again and it unfolds new levels to us. Mysteries, to be known, must be entered into. We do not solve mysteries. The deeper we enter into them, the more illumination we get. Still greater depths are revealed to us the further we go".

Our brains are looping mysteries like labyrinths.

Silencers - The Conspiracy Theory Dossiers
by SONOLOGYST

The entirety of this album outs me in a unique mood, thanks to the general concept and absolutely authentic and unique way Sonologyst creates its own environment. Very nice production, creative noises that do have their place in the world of music. This is brilliant and moves my mind. slc_winterized

Vol.1 Dark Ambient
by This Is Darkness

supported by 35 fans who also own “Labyrinth (2CDr edition)”

My original plan was to go through and buy individual tracks like I do with most compilation albums, but honestly there are just so many good ones that I wound up buying the whole thing. More than simple drones (though there are plenty of those, too), this album collects many of the best and most innovative dark ambient artists in one place, including many who are new to me. Seriously, if you like this kind of brooding music, just buy it. You won't regret it. Plushie Fanatic
