Put out on the circuit via the Greek Sound In Silence imprint on February 10th, 2k25 is "A Trial Of Distances", the fourth full length album cooked up for the label by French born, Brussels-based producer Julien Demoulin. With the first part of the roughly 60 minutes spanning album being actually comprised of Demoulin's "A Trial Of Distances Pt. 1 - 3" which sees the artist exploring a comforting, classic and time dissolving take on Ambient with Kelly O'Donohue providing additional washed out brass textures of which especially the flugelhorn adds a certain depth and melancholia with "A Trial Of Distances Pt. 3" even touching base with echoes of twangy New Age for hot hawaiian summer evenings the second part of the longplayer weighs in a set of three remixes which is quite a new direction for releases on Sound In Silence. This being said, the rework provided by HTDC takes things to a slightly calmer, deeper and more emotional level with a certain focus on O'Donohue's contributions which are more present and put to the foreground in comparison to the original composition whereas "A Trial Of Distances *.Foundation Rework" brings on a brooding, Drone-based take on electrical buzzing and gravitates more towards the Dark Ambient spectrum in general before the final, more than 30 minutes long Zake Remix caters a longform blueprint for timeless and time-dissolving glacial Ambient mist in 2k25. Lovely.
