Geiom moves away from his earlier IDM sounds for something slightly darker with ISLAND NOISE, and right from the first track, there's a darker influence at play, with a rounder, fuller sense of melody and a definite dub influence. Strings underlie "Canopy Desire" while "Hydrpplane" twinkles above its dub downbeat. The mechanical drawl and wobble of "Everlasting" suggests move towards dubstep, and the almost easy listening vibes of "Farski" follow in those slow, loping steps before the dub re-emphasizes itself. The reverb comes in in a big way on "Cardoza" and the island vibes come through solidly on "Inbuild Chaos." But it's the Arabic vocals on "Pheli Nazir" that really breaks down the walls and explodes the album in an exciting way. The combination of spare IDM beats and the vocal content seems much more interesting, especially considering that most of the album as been instrumental. A nice way to close.
