Grey\u2019s \u201cProject 5\u201d run in excess of 30 minutes and takes up an entire side of the vinyl LP. Glacial, analog electronic textures reminiscent of early Tangerine Dream characterize the piece, though there\u2019s a dissonant, industrial feel at work as well. The track does explore different sonic landscapes, though; toward its end it takes on an even more space-rock quality. The package doesn\u2019t tell us anything regarding how the recordings were made \u2013 instruments used, etc. \u2013 but it\u2019s compelling nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>The second side of the record features Miley\u2019s \u201cIce Factory.\u201d Imagine, if you will, a dissonant, new age rethink of the music on <i>Pet Sounds<\/i>. This music is far more abstract, by there\u2019s a playful quality about it as well. At certain points, the music fades to near silence, requiring the listener to lean in. \u201cMountains of Time\u201d is a longer work, equally experimental and spare. It\u2019s something of a companion piece \u2013 not to \u201cIce Factory\u201d but to Grey\u2019s work on Side One.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Produced by David Javelosa, this ambient\/new age release features three tracks: two by Jane Grey, and two by Thomas Miley.
