Bob Holroyd
With the subtle backdrop of haunting textures and drones to engulf and redefine one's perceptions of this beautiful soundscape, and the shifting intensity of soft ambient spaces and brighter atmospheres, a delicate balance is found. The dazzling aspect of Hollow Man is how Holroyd extracts the space between the grooves and explores it from all sides, holding both sound worlds with equal ease and grace. This latest offering takes the listener on a journey overflowing with sonic combustion, cinematic overtones, shifting rhythms and ponderous grooves, ...definitely a rewarding experience for those who make the trip. In summary, Hollow Man is powerful, engrossing electronic music from one of the UK's most dynamic composers. Highly recommended. Review by Ben Kettlewell information: www.soundscapemusic.co.uk

As Holroyd's prolific output has evolved over the years, more of the inner nature of his unique sound is continually being revealed in each new offering. Intricate patterns of drone, classic trip-hop , exotic samples, ethnic instruments, ethereal voices,and other natural acoustic sound have been woven together to form an aural tapestry both real and imaginary.
