Exquisite drone-haunt from the legendary Maurizio Bianchi. This new album is a shift away from the early experimental bionic-industrial masterpieces The Plain Truth, Armaghedon, Endometrio, and Carcinosi, instead delving into an austere drone realm that may appeal to fans of meditative drift heaviness and more kosmiche strains of dream/drone music. A M.B. Iehn Tale presents eight tracks of clustered piano melodies that are decomposed and layered into gauzy sheets of elegiac drone...th earlier tracks travel along hammered tones akin to Terry Riley, and the last two tracks engage in celestial Ur-drone of the highest order. There's a hazy, buried, twilight beauty to this album that situates it next to Tim Hecker's Mirages and Final's 3, hence getting highest recommendations from us! Slow, meditative and very very beautiful, these pieces are the sound of grey light on overcast days and of silent empty churches. Superb!
