Vessels (2008) by Freeze Etch
Praise from Side-Line Music Magazine:
..."Dark ambient music now counts one more genius project to its small list! (...) “Vessels” is nothing less than a masterpiece! (...) Freeze Etch finally launches an accomplished master work, which shows how good ambient can sound!"
Praise from Re:gen Magazine:
..."At times sounding like Coil, Gridlock at others, and sometimes even SeeFeel, but never trying to duplicate them, this is a good record. If you are going to buy one release from an indie label and you are in need some spacey music, then Vessels will not disappoint."
Praise from Igloo Magazine:
..."Freeze Etch's Vessels for Force Of Nature Productions opens the flood-gates full of chunky beats, distorted industrial debris, and cold grooves that slither into unknown groves."
