If you’re looking for a total immersion in a bewitching, even hypnotising universe of sound, look no further than this album by the LMNL collective, led by Toronto multi-instrumentalist Jerry Pergolesi (a distant relative of Giovanni Batista?).
Rainbow is a tribute to The Wizard of Oz‘s “Somewhere Over the Rainbow.” Against a backdrop of electronic fog, snatches of the famous song appear and disappear like disembodied ghosts, occasionally joined by delicate trumpet and clarinet lines (played by Pergolesi and his partner Louise Campbell).
It lasts an hour like that, and it’s downright gripping. If you’re feeling Eno-style ambient mixed with Gavin Bryars’ The Sinking of the Titanic, this is for you.
