DESCRIPTION
==================
Dutifully treading their own musical path forged largely from various media samples, heavily processed guitars and other melodic instruments (not to mention a totally agreeable absence of percussion and vocals) Adam Wiltzie and Brian McBride give us Avec Laudenum, their fifth and final album of the 90s. Continuing onward as what must be the next logical step for Stars of the Lid's stellar career as innovators, this particular body of work finds the Austin-based duo trailing even further off into their own sedative realm where nearly all points of relativity toward the outside world have been cut off. Indeed the music found on Avec Laudenum proves to be the most minimal statement of all compared with anything they've crafted before or since. The track numbers are few with each extensive movement elaborating at its own pace seamlessly as always, so much so that the time honored tradition of listeners cherry-picking which particular cut stands tallest becomes moot. In fact, the best way to approach it all, not only in regards to this specific album or group but when taking on the ambient genre as a whole, is to simply let the sound flow with plenty of time given for absorption. Experience the album in passive listening as a backdrop for whatever daily routines your life necessitates or if you're the audiophile type who must hear it all up close and personal just don't bother waiting around for some catchy part to kick in because this stuff is as far removed as possible from the pop world or any other recognizable form of music. Soundtrack for sleep? Maybe. A calming backdrop that will prove cerebrally pleasing for all those subjected? Absolutely.
