Sounds Like	11/03/09 streamed AMBIENT PING show, my set begins at 10:10 here: Watch this show and more at SyncLive.com "Beta Cloud doesn’t pull any punches on Nephology—the meteorological imperative behind titles such as “Supercell” and “Cumulus” hardly connotes little fluffy clouds. Pace’s negatively-charged synths and billowing guitars foment enough atmospheric pressure that the sounds, and the listener, ultimately get swallowed into their yearning vortice. A storm of drones, indeed." Signal To Noise Magazine 08' "a bit like Brian Eno in a bad mood, it's accomplished... a triumph for all involved." Musique Machine 08' "A new collection of soft sonorous ambience...Everything cloudy and grey, soft edged buzzing smoother into shimmering swells...very hypnotic and almost new age-y sounding (in a good way), the notes wreathed in reverb and sent rippling into the ether, very reminiscent of Ambient Eno for sure" aQuarius Records 08' "a carefully conceived work which draws equally from electro-acoustic, noise and ambient music to create an involving soundworld. Beta Cloud has produced one of the best pieces of sound art this year, scoop this one up". Musique Machine 07' "An adventurous listen that should appeal to fans of dark ambient, drone, and more experimental electronic music". Electroambient Space 08' "Pace's monkey splattering a canvas keyboard work mirrors this affect when taken along with Siratori's most anxious vocal performance. It makes for a satisfying whole." Musique Machine 08 "Beta Cloud is without a doubt something to keep up with!" Guts of Darkness, 07' "Apart from a slightly more evident pulsating scansion and the hint of “melody” distinguishing the beginning of the disc, the customary stratified vapours of stretched out sounds that we expect from this sort of release are at hand and welcome, although characterized in this circumstance by a manifest acridness and a quantity of electronic trouble. A cross of psychedelic rock and less-than-ethereal, frequently dissonant trance at times bathed in distortion and feedback, sounding reasonably blissful nevertheless, at least for the bulk of the album - and especially in the conclusive track “Brief an Milena”, probably the best segment together with “Brief an Felice”. An attractive diversion from the loopmeister’s canons, while my first aural encounter with Beta Cloud can definitely be considered an encouraging one." Touching Extremes,08' "...what is key is whether or not these stark staring twilight zones eschew credibility or reincarnate their subject. Trumpet is flanged beyond recognition and oddly shuffling blurbs are pitched deep in the distance, evincing the sound of emotional decadence, of encroaching madness, of psychonavigational metamorphosis—works for me alright." Signal to Noise Magazine 08' "Lull, aka Mick Harris, collaborates here with Beta Cloud, who a while back teamed up with Aidan Baker for a killer disc of dark buzzing dronemusic. But on Circadian Rhythm Disturbance, Harris and Beta Cloud team up for one 20 minute track of extreme dark ambience, loose barely there rhythms drift in and out occasionally, but this is all about the atmospheric low end, and it is LOW, a deep subterranean rumble that seems to swallow up all light, like the sound of some massive behemoth drifting slowly through the blackened deep, or some mysterious black shape drifting across the midnight sky, huge groaning drones and massive swells of rib cage rattling bass, smeared and blurred into a tidal sort of barely-rhythm, that subtly pulses and throbs, sucking the listener under, filling you ears with gorgeous soft black sound." aQuarius Records 08' "this collaboration with Lull ranks right up there with his best work...The feeling that you are "there" is what makes this a compelling listening. As the journey continues, insistent percussion tones, which pan from speaker to speaker, sounding kind of like echoing footsteps, lead you along with an increasingly nightmarish backdrop...A sense of unreality, verging on madness is what the listener is left with: multiple spins in succession drive the point home rather convincingly. The repetitive and dreamlike nature of Circadian Rhythm Disturbance will do in your brain, so for sanity's sake, approach it in moderation." Musique Machine 08' "The four tracks contained on An Open Letter To Franz Kafka are really quite similar to gems, as each one shimmers at you as you listen. There is emotion here, which most ambient artists lack. The successful combination of sound and atmosphere collide perfectly, and the drones that ring throughout the second track, titled Brief An Felice really prove this point. The result is very eerie, leaving the listener wondering what will happen next. It must also be noted that it is effective that the tracks are so long, three of the four clocking in at over fifteen minutes in length, and the last two almost twenty minutes each. This allows for a longer experience, having time to breathe and build into and climaxes and eclipses. These tracks remind me of space, the infinite, and life itself. I am also quite certain that many would agree with this belief. Aidan Baker is very well know for creating quality materials, and with Beta Cloud in the mix it makes things even more spectacular, a combination of perfect harmony and splendor, with darkness and desolation. Beautiful." Heathen Harvest 09'
