Greg Fenton reviews Afterlife – The Other One
Music with more meaning. Music that exists somewhere between today and tomorrow, opening up conversations that emerge through the simple act of listening.
This latest escapade from Afterlife is likely to push a few buttons from the outset. Fuelled by an intense array of mind-expanding percussion, The Other One takes the familiar notions of ambience and easy listening and turns them on their heads, while keeping the communication of ideas and emotions firmly at its heart.
Perhaps best described as a quiet explosion of events, this is music that continually shifts its perspective taking the listener in unexpected directions. Beneath its apparent expansiveness lies a fascinating interplay of rhythm, atmosphere and imagination. It is a wide-ranging exploration of musical possibilities, where moments of intensity sit alongside more reflective passages, encouraging the listener to look beyond the immediate experience and discover something deeper.
