After four releases that bridged contemporary, electronic and jazzy sounds,Canada's Dino Pacifici has created the perfect release for Backroads customers. "Hallowed Ground" is pure spacemusic, with an edge that brings to mind A Produce, Global Communication, Vidna Obmana and even Steve Roach. Pretty strong references, I admit, but after receiving this new title and playing it four times in a row, I am convinced. The first two tracks, 'Solace' and 'Timeshift,' run for forty minutes of carving, penetrating space drift, setting the stage perfectl;y for what follows. Then a tribal rhythm takes hold as the exploration seems to spread into further galaxies that include kinetic cross-rhythms, alien textures and offbeat effects, and equally compelling structures. Dino plays as if he's really been there and back, and now he's going to show us what he has seen and heard. This is a major release for space/electronic music fans for the Millenium.
