A series of sonic experiments conducted during the midnight hours, Moon of Characith can best be described as an ambient beckoning to the dark side. The basis for many of these tracks are dreamy looped samples, most noticable ones being of an organic synth quality. "Vocal" work ranges from whispering voices to a subdued siren song of sorts, all substanitially creepy.

The band, comprised of two individuals, obviously school themselves in this genre, reminding me of some earlier works by Brian Eno and Dome. Not something I'd throw in at any given point in the day, Moon of Characith is never-the-less perfect for what it is intended, solitary lightless listening, or "as an opening gateway toward the reverse side..."
