Astral Industries latest release introduces us to a new name, Dialog. Yet while the project may be fresh, it's creators Dutch electronic maverick Samuel van Dijk and Finnish experimentalist Rasmus Hedland are both vastly experienced, with impressive discographies to boot. The album, which is effectively a slowly evolving suite of four lengthy, untitled tracks, has been described by Astral Industries as a conversational exchange that sees the interplay of dynamic frequencies, evocative imagery and contemporary sonic art. In practice, that means a mixture of out-there, effects-laden electronics, grandiose sound design, ultra-deep ambient soundscapes, mutilated found sound, distant spoken word samples and the kind of stargazing ethos explored on vintage Pete Namlook releases (and Jimmy Cauty's 1990 album as Space).
