_____________________

Departing in Descent is the first collaboration between James Bernard and bvdub – though, unbeknownst to each other, their lives had traveled silently side-by-side for decades. Officially beginning, perhaps, with Brock's purchase of James' seminal Atmospherics in 1994 after it was mistakenly stocked in his local house record store, what was and always will be his favorite ambient album of all time connected, as abstractly as possible, two people whose journeys through both music and life had been running in secret parallel for as long as either had ever known.

From their lives as ravers deep in the underground, one in NY, one in SF, to years of personal and musical struggles that may as well been written by the same pen, their paths ran in tandem, unknowingly, for virtually their entire lives before one fateful night in LA found them in the same place at the same time – and it all became clear. What had happened. And what would happen as a result.

I'm in the same percussive boat as some other fans, as I'll replay these a little more than the beatless ambient (love it all the same though!). Really big fan of the samples, patterns, layering, and power behind it. His pads, strings, melodies, vocals, piano solos, are emotional and may cause pain, but the rhythm will pick you up and push you through it in a cathartic way. Μaπ Β
