Gamelan music, Harry Partch, old Tangerine Dream, Steve Roach, Jon Hassell, Robert Rich, Peter Gabriel.
Sounds Like
At times reminiscent of Jon Hassell and the darker soundscapes of Steve Roach, Nerell's music shows a delicate touch of great beauty, and his understanding and love of gamelan never leave you feeling even the hint of appropriation.
A cross between Vidna Obmana, Alain Kremski, and a somnabulistic Steve Reich, . . . . and displays a debt to Harry Partch that only the initiated will understand.
