THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ISLAND

"'The Other Side of the Island' is a soundtrack produced to accompany a series of sculptural works by Guapo drummer David J Smith, and Smith together with some very able collaborators (namely Finnish electronic whizz Antti Uusimaki and Guapo's Daniel O'Sullivan) the three make some quite stunning soundscapes. With the relation to Aurora Borealis there would be an assumption that the album is an exploration into the outer reaches of doom metal, but that's where you'd be wrong - 'The Other Side of the Island' is a more textural affair with electro-acoustic soundscapes conjuring up Ennio Morricone or Svarte Greiner, albeit with an occasional metallic slant." www.boomkat.com
