About a year ago i listened to a compilation cd entitled Eclectica vol.2 of the American Middle Pillar Presents label and i was totally impressed with a track of a project which was yet unknown to me.The Unquiet Void was represented on that compilation with the piece ‘R’lyeh Rerisen’. Now i got a cd of this project. The third one already according to the information that goes with the album. The Unquiet Void is Jason Wallach. He is active with ambient music since 1989 (!). This cd is inspired upon the work of horror grandmaster H.P.Lovecraft, and more specifically on the the ‘Cthulhu Mythes’. The tracks are based on the stories ‘Dagon’, The Call of the Cthulhu’ en ‘The Shadow Over Innsmouth’. The music consists of laidback but sometimes very intense dark ambient with strong ritual aspects. In the track ‘the Esoteric Order’ you will hear vocals. This is a co-operation with Bryin Dall (Loretta’s Doll). The music is very good, but actually not perfect until that one track: R’lyeh Rerisen’. In this all elements come together. This is so impressively intense. For this track alone i would have bought this record, if it had not been given as a promo.
