Heres the 3rd review of the 'Long Distance Vol 3' CD...

Third installment in Dragon's Eye's 3" CD-R series, Long Distance, pairing up artists who have never before met or worked together, features a collab between Yann Novak and Kev Rolfe (whose nom du disque is rendered variably - Brittle Stars on the dinky 3" CD-r sleeve, but Brittle Star on the possibly more authoritative Dragon's Eye website). Recorded during Novak's sojourn in Manchester, it hosts a single 21-minute track, "Melody to Maelstrom," which could almost be the antidote to Filtered Light's paucity of fibre and fizz. New kid on the DE block, Stars, does well to hook himself up with DE boss, Novak, to choreograph up some fascinating flurries of of space dust into the aether to enrapture the aural cloud-watcher. Delicately teeming with pulse and fibrillation and roamed under by a resonant hum from the deep, the sound field slowly opens out its architectures to an incoming fog of something new. Melody! Having been ushered in, its progression is quietly interfered with, turned here into soft swells and billows of tuned air, there into abraded textures of fuzz and crackle, while all the while maintaining a tenuous connection with its melodic essence. Having dissipated into the eponymous maelstrom, it re-gathers itself as it ebbs away for a final quiet recommitment to fading melody. To be located near names like Fennesz and Hecker and others pursuing MBV-derived digital dissolution such as Krankyite, Keith Fullerton Whitman, or indeed DE label-mates, Wyndel Hunt and Son of Rose. Long Distance Vol. 3's engrossing 21 minutes leaves in the air a tingle of just-reached fulfilment and a frisson of expectation that hour-long recordings cannot achieve - a small vindication for the cute but not entirely loved 3" format.
