CD album on lotta continua: Ocean Almanac is a collection of electronic based pieces drawing together themes of life and death in using the sea as the metaphor. There still exists an element of mystery concerning the sea with its awesome destructive powers and folkloric tales. It's the only area of space left on earth totally uncontrollable. |

| Review: | With Ocean Almanac, Dave Clarkson, aka Illuminati, heads into choppier waters after his 'Searching For A New Land'. Things are kept taught and tense on this voyage. Except for on the breezily buoyant "Bouvet Oya-Frozen Island", featuring WJ Clarkson on vibraphone, this is about the vicissitudes of morality. (quote from Bill Shakespeare on sleeve) Here's to the first 100 releases." - Ken Hollings - The Wire |
