Ecstatic's latest offering is little less than stunning. It comes courtesy of Maxwell Sterling, a Morecombe Bay-based cellist and electronic experimentalist whose 2016 debut album, "Hollywood Medieval", still resonates four years on. "Laced With Rumour: Loud Speaker of Truth" started life as a "multi-channel sound installation", which Sterling later re-modelled into the four lengthy meditations presented here. Musically, it's a hazy, otherworldly affair, with Sterling combining elements of spiritual and free jazz with fluid, opaque, dream-like electronics, field recordings and sound design techniques. It makes for hugely enjoyable and mind-altering listening. Recommended.
