The Separate Ones

by eyes cast down

supported by

Richard Gürtler This is definitely not your ordinary accessible ambient recording, for sure "The Separate Ones" album craves for numerous listening sessions with deeply dedicated attention and immersion, but then it offers huge amount of fruitful and joyous moments filled with highly reflective, but enormously distinctive and intriguing palette of sounds and atmospheres. "The Separate Ones" is your ticket to magnificently perfumed and anomalously mindscaping sonic realms, a must have!!!

about

Cited as one of 2013's Significant Releases by Star's End.

Seven years in the making, the debut from eyes cast down is a set of reflections on attachment, separation and loss. From the solo guitar piece First Day Apart, the intensity builds, finally exploding through the requiem soundtrack Like a Riven Cloud, which features a searing performance from violinist Ezra Azmon.

By turns soothing, exhilarating, sobering and uplifting, The Separate Ones is ideal for deep or background listening, meditation or contemplation - a soul-nourishing break from routine.

Guest appearances by singers Alannah (on the ecstatic synth piece Expanse of Heart) and Daci (on the plaintive closer Radha's Tears).

The Track Of The Full Moon On Water (2016 Re-issue)
by Steve Brand

It's made by Steve Brand, one of the best ambient guys we've got, IMHO, & always a favorite of mine. He dives deep & always brings back something beautiful. Atmospheric, meditative, ecstatic, tribal. eyes cast down

What is Memory?
by Steve Brand & Disturbed Earth

Steve Brand teams up with another of my main men, Disturbed Earth (Dean Richards). Dean's a wizard at looping and processing, as well as a killer guitarist & multi-instrumentalist. Magic. eyes cast down

Low Volume Music
by Steve Roach / Dirk Serries

Two of the genre's demigods reunite after a decade of blazing their separate trails. Sheer meditative ecstasy; ethereal minimalism, raising the bar for guitar -&-synths duets. Highest recommendation! eyes cast down

Fade To Gray
by Steve Roach

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Separate Ones”

You can listen to this as a pleasant wash of background music while you work; as beautiful and as meaningless as sunlight on a painted wall. Or you can focus on it and realise that actually there's a lot going on in the texture and detail of the sound. Steve Roach has made a lot of longform ambient, all of them well worth listening to, but this is one of the very best. A gem from a gem. Wylfryd Smythe
