about

Luminous Foundation's previous releases, Spontaneous Archives Vols 1 & 2, sparked with mineral fire, like shards of kosmische comet debris burning up in the Earth's atmosphere. Haig Fras is an entirely different affair, a semi- melodic, shimmering drift. Occasionally there’s a sense of oceanic melancholy and throughout an enticing organic beauty. Haig Fras collects a series impressionistic soundings inspired by the subaquatic mountain range of the same name found between Cornwall and Ireland, 95km northwest of the Isles of Scilly. 120 metres deep, with peaks 82 metres high, it’s the subaquatic aspect of the Cornubian batholith, a granite bedrock that erupts as vast tors as far inland as Bodmin and Dartmoor. Its unusual geology and unique flora and fauna – anemones, corals, lobsters, urchins, crinoids and sponges – lend their names to the album's eight tracks.

REALLY wish I'd subscribed sooner to be able to enjoy this on vinyl! Curious the artist cited 12 Monkeys and not La Jetee as one of the key inspirations. For me, this has a more somber, introspective and timeless feel more akin to La Jetee than 12 Monkeys (though I also am a big fan of Terry Gilliam). Gorgeous music and you get the bonus of a list of excellent movies to enjoy (another note to the artist: Time Crimes is also a good film to watch). Now to somehow procure a vinyl copy...
