"back when i started digitalis in 2003, bluesanct was one of the labels i admired most. michael anderson's catalog had no boundaries, but always traversed in interesting fare. at the top of the mountain is his solo wares as drekka. "ancestral cave sequence" is one of his most cryptic efforts yet.

crackling folk textures and bent strings shine out from the reverb-laden soundscape mazes. vocals and violin escape the murk with their melancholic melodies fighting off the static to cement themselves in your mind. electronics get washed in but the strings are never far off. everything here feels so delicate, so fragile. "ancestral cave sequence" is a ghostly orchestra leading you away, serenading you into the gloaming. anderson has really unlocked something stunning."
