5 out of 5 stars Special recording- Best to Date!.......2005-02-24

The Necks from Australia are kind of the underground band out there in the new music (jazz) scene. The Necks are noted to make mostly 60 minute one song CD's.

Aether is a wonderful 'moment in time'. I hear Jade Warrior's magic (Island Years), Medeski, Martin and Wood (Tonic) and some of the best ECM sounds when that label transformed for a brief time towards a new age leaning sound (Soltice, Towner, Oregon -Vangaurd).

It is a music groups' masterpiece. The musicians 'hear' each other and follow the airy and building mood from beginning to the end of the piece. I normally don't get into too much really mellow sounding stuff, but Aether is just an exceptional record. I can't get enough of it. Exquisite spin!

5 out of 5 stars Geologic music?.......2004-08-07

This album is my first and only exposure so far to the music of this Australian trio. As you can see this recording, named for the firmament yet carved into the grain of wood, contains a single track that clocks in at 63 minutes. While this may sound like tedium to some, it rewards the listener who allows for a different conception of time in music. But unlike ambient music's flat-line of dynamic, there is progression and tension in Aether.

The composition is basically formed around a cycle of chords that, to start, are very separated-20 seconds peak-to-peak-and gradually move closer together while adding more instrumental color (organ, electric piano, electric bass, arco bass, bells, tumba) around the core of acoustic bass, cymbals, and piano. The opening chord itself gorgeously plunges you into the cycle and the evolution begins; at the end, you can't believe how you arrived there.
