Over the past decade Rising Sun has firmly established himself as a purveyor of the finest deep, dubby and cinematic leaning house and techno, consistently delivering a sound that is distinctly his through labels such as Fauxpas, Freund Der Familie and his own numerous imprints Reality Used To Be A Friend Of Mine, Kristofferson Kristofferson and Beautiful Things Don't Ask For Attention under a variant of guises such as The Ambientist, Rising Sun Project, Rising Sun Psyche, Rising Sun Melancholia, and simply Rising Sun under which he returns here for Echocord. As one has come to expect from a Rising Sun release The Eternal has a firm foundation in emotive melodies and atmospherics across six alternate versions. "Eternal 1" leads with muted drums, fluttering stabs and a preaching spoken word vocal. "Eternal 2" edges into darked realms, merging expansive dub echoes with swelling subs and tension building strings before "Eternal 3" dives head first into ethereal hypnotism via unfurling textures, soft stab sequences and a rounded kick. "Eternal 4" opens the B-side with a subtly unfolding construction as vocals, chords and swinging drums run in unison. "Eternal 5" then strips things back to a gritty statured feel with boomy percussion, enchanting strings and nuanced stabs before "Eternal 6" rounds out the release laying down murky, multilayered pads, widely dispersing reverberations and bubbling delays throughout.
