8.    CRISTAL-“HOMEGOING” (5/28) (2013 release from this Electronic trio o featuring J. Anthony, G. Darden and R. Donne (Labradford, Spokane, ex-Aix Em Klemm). Homegoing is a journey through simmering electronic, wide-screen vistas to seismic, swelling and undulating soundscapes. From the shifting-sand textures of 'Yoke' (replete with deeply moving, melancholic cello sifting through the ether) and 'Streaming Wisdom,' to the ever-so-slightly somber tones of 'Dead Bird,' Homegoing is a wondrously thought-provoking, uplifting aural adventure - a technicolor travelogue of things possibly lost, possibly not. File alongside latter-day Biosphere, Deathprod (especially both Helge Sten and Cristal's attention to the minutest sonic detail), and the later, electronically based Zoviet France releases. Pour a glass of your finest tipple, sit back and be transported to a very special dimension. Cristal's Homegoing has it all, and more.
