about

Daniel Crommie's 21st solo album since 1978, "Portal" mixes analogue synthesis and cutting-edge digital technology with processed concert flutes, wood flute and natural woodland ambience. The four long-form compositions are by turns dynamic and quietly hypnotic, with optimum results achieved when listening on closed-ear headphones.

"The first track "Waking Morpheus" is a calming pastoral infused soundscape of electronics and flute. The mixture of electronics and acoustic sounds is really quite intriguing. On the title track more electronic blips and bleeps surround swells of keyboards before a keyboard sequence unfurls having an almost Alan Parson's vibe. This track gets pretty moody and dark, almost nightmarish in scope. The pastoral keyboard sequences and swells in "Dark Energy" are perhaps a bit too long in the tooth for my liking at over twenty-one minutes but it is still a well done piece of brooding electronic music. The intense explosions of sound near song's end are pretty cool. The disc ends with the sweeping electronics of "The Day After", very cinematic in nature. Portal is another strong effort from Crommie." - Sea of Tranquility
