The new CD edition is reworked and remixed, with brand new cover art by Poxodd.

Versions

Dave, “Hydrogen Kaleidoscope, like previous Darkening Scale releases re-examines the material, plus tracks from Secondhand Muon, to make a revised ‘best of’ version of the two releases. Seems like ancient history to me now. Good to have a proper release on Klanggalerie and clears the decks for new projects. Watch this space!”

The collection moves from the manic, at times angular/electro bending string saw and bay of String Theory onto swamp blues meets avant strut of Jaunting Bone – which from time to time is added to by pitch bucking vocalisings. There’s the moodier and more spaced grey ambience of A Finger Pointing At The Moon which finds distant and eerier bass prods meeting synth string drifting malevolence – before we find dramatic and brooding percussion added in its second half.” (Musique Machine, June 2022)
