Themes of travel and journey feature heavily here in these two new works from the Danish musician and producer njordlyd. “Repressed” features processed field recordings of trains - the grinding of metal on metal - to create eerie fields of sound that burst with moments of static pulse and electronic chatter. “Dark Ride” takes this concept into a slightly darker direction - electronics and drones this time are a bit more closer to the red and a bit more introverted and dark. It’s an intense and gripping journey here, one characterized by foot travel - the irregular cadence of something laboring over uneven terrain. Both tracks are welcome additions to njordlyd’s growing canon of excellent ambient work.

Another Ambient Sunday but as we approach the shortest day of the year the lack of light is getting to me. So here’s some dark droney Ambient consistent with my mood.
Denmark’s Njordlyd appeared here previously with Circles. This along with other tracks have been remixed into a new gloomy dark direction on new album Getting Closer. Dark Ride is Circles remixed.
Dark Ride is Biosphere mixed with early Future Sound of London on Fax label. It’s a dark dank watery experience. Tones are held as water rises ever higher. This is the circling onrushing darkness about to envelop you. The fragments of angels breaths are eyeless gargoyles staring you into oblivion.
A great track. Don’t have nightmares.
