(BWR023) Palancar - Precis
With Precis, Palancar has gone a unique direction, releasing a study of short-play ambience. Designed to reflect single moods or images, Precis is meant to be experienced as a set of brief vignettes, or ambient haiku, each piece a still life image of the mood or concept in the artist\\\\\\\'s head at the time of composition.
Each piece is distinctive and stands on its own, varying from impenetrable dark ambience to lush smooth space music. Despite the brevity of each track, the album has more than 70 minutes of music on it, and is recommended for any fan of ambient music.

(BWR013) Palancar - Diminishing Light
With Diminishing Light, Palancar unveils his newest and darkest pure ambient album to date. Sometimes reflective and thoughtful, other times dark and intense, but always moody and simmering with a barely-restrained energy, this is Palancar\\\'s dark ambient tour-de-force. Purists will be happy to know that no percussion and very little melody can be found anywhere in this album. But likewise, lovers of any good music will appreciate the structure and cohesiveness of the compositions. A great addition to the collection of any music lover.
