Small Hours - Pulse II [Sweet Solitude - 2011]

Pulse II” is the second release from the ultra minimal textural noise/ambient project of uk based James Killick(of Katy Perry influenced HNW project Love Katy and owner of the great uk based HNW label Sweet Solitude).

Like the first Pulse release, the track comes on a 3inch cdr which features a single twenty minute track of very quiet, subtle and very hushed textured noise. But unlike the first Pulse release this is thankfully recorded at a more audible and higher level, so you can make out a bit more textural detail. The track is built around a rather pleasing and slowly ebbing rumble- to me it rather brings to mind the soft and constant rumble of a distant space rocket engine. As if one were on the main deck of a huge spaceship watching space drift by, and the sound of the rocket engines can just be heard

I find this release a lot more rewarding than "Pulse One" due to it been a little bit louder volume wise, and that the textural rumble here is very rewarding and more-ish. Really I could have done with the track been a bit longer, but I guess you could just loop it over & over.

The 3 inch CDR comes in a see through  dvd case with a simple small paper inlay at the bottom of the case, this nicely keeps things minimal & opens the track up ones own interruption. So a very worthy second slice of ultra minimal textural noise from this Uk project- I look forward to hearing what Small Hours do next.
