ETHER DOME
Richard Bone

        "Ether Dome" is a very mature atmospheric CD from the master of quirk - Richard Bone. After abandoning or leaving his experimental crossovers of recent years, Richard returned to minimalist ambience with a huge - yet subtle - splash. Hot desert ambience is the order of the day and Richard takes his creativity to the next level. He has been in the minimalist zone before. After "Electropica" and "Coxa," "Spectral Ships" was a treat. This album is special and essential!
