PAS “Pure Energy Output Sessions” (Album/PAS Records)

Review:

		5/10
		Artist: PAS (Post Abortion Stress) Title: Pure Energy Output Sessions Format: Album Label: PAS Records Genre: Dark Ambient, Experimental Release date: 2010

PAS (Post Abortion Stress) is the creation of US/Brooklyn-based artist Robert L. Pepper and several other members and was started back in 1995. Since then, several releases have been made their first releases have later been re-released through their own label PAS Records during 2009 followed with a couple of more during that year and even in 2010.

“Pure Energy Output Sessions” is the title of their latest CD and the music is very experimental and falls under the Dark Ambient style with lots of complex soundscapes. During it’s rather long playtime of 80 minutes I never get that interesting feeling. It’s like you are constant waiting for something to happen but it never does. My point is that I think the album is too long with too many meaningless tracks. Many of the tracks is not longer then a minute or so and that is a very short time to reflect before the next track begins.

When it comes to Dark Ambient music I would rather see an intense structure and shorter total playtime with not as many tracks like it is here. the atmosphere does at some points feels very intrigue-ish and good. Although, I think it’s a decent album but not more then that. However, if you are into Dark Ambient and experimental music I think this will suite you.
