Pulse Emitter - Grass

I hadn't heard one bit of Pulse Emitter until fairly recently on WFMU/thanks to the honourable Gift Tapes blog and now GT have followed through with the blog praise and put out a fantastic cassette with artwork that fits the music perfectly.
The first side contains some beautiful synth drift that ebbs/flows/waxes/wanes beautifully before gently moving off into the distance. It's seriously relaxing stuff and some high end flutter appears towards the end, possibly to mark your move into a deep meditative state. Many of the synth fiends in my collection often seem to merely hang the sounds out there and allow them to billow in the wind but Daryl Groetsch is a master craftsman, introducing the tones methodically and letting them breathe and melt into each other to weirdly soothing effect. Side B brings recognisable melodies to the fore and more twittering/bassy rumbles without sacrificing any of the atmosphere. Pulse Emitter brings you the sounds of intensive isolation tank therapy triple distilled for maximum...effect? Taste? Something like that.
