VIDNA OBMANA, The River of Appearance (10th anniversary edition)
Format: 2 CD
Price: $16.00 Middle Pillar Review: Re-release of Vidna Obmana's classic with a bonus disc: the entire album performed by Oregon's Dreams in Exile. River was a high point of Obmana's early compositional style, presenting a minimal and serene flow utilizing sparse piano lines which intermingle with drifting keyboard loops and organic rainstick sounds. There is an overall harmonic unity on these 8 pieces, stripping dense walls back to reveal a slowly changing sound configuration. The 2nd disc is not merely bonus tracks, but a complete re-creation of the original on traditional instruments. Add Item to Shopping Cart
