‘Silver Streams’ is an 8 track trip into introspection and also scrutinises external headspace. The textures that are born and evolve as a consequence of both playing and listening to the individual compositions, and the composite whole, map out mood, radar-like, without descending into self-indulgence. Stepping aside from electro duties into a more fragile world was a natural move for Plant43. His delicate beat draping soundscapes that characterise his sound, while not necessarily reproduced here, are versatile and capable of seeking out new sonic destinations. Ergo, everything fits and connects very well in this collection without feeling like it’s trying too hard. And, without going into exhaustive detail, conceptually it works. ‘Progress In Paces’ is eponymously evocative of what it claims to be. ‘Counting Imaginary Comets’ has a static magnificence that comes from the activity in question, while another numerically-connected tune ‘ Five Lakes At Dusk’ chimes in with track 2 to provide symmetry and balance. This is music to drift off to and find security within life’s chaos.
