All Blissed Out

I’ve been revisiting this record from eleven years ago called Wave Field by Portugese musician Rafael Toral. It’s very warm ambient drone music really informed by the rock and roll music. It sounds good either as background chirpy-chirp stuff or as fully immersive loud heaviness.

Resounding frequencies overlap and gyrate, wiggling their way inside your body. The notes, tones, and clusters of guitar-induced and effects-generated notes reverberate amongst each other. Wave Field is an astonishing work, a drone fan’s dream — everything you wanted from Fripp & Eno’s No Pussyfooting and Spacemen 3’s Dreamweapon and very nearly got: full, dynamic layers of blissful, amp-moaning pleasure-noise that ebbs and flows like the sea.
