One of the truest indications of a good record is when it sounds like something is starting to go wrong with the car while listening to it. The latest SILVERMAN sounds at turns like the brakes are going, the belts are slipping, the timing needs adjusting, the drive shaft has a shot bearing and the clutch is failing. Nature Is Illusion is a much more amorphous excursion than some of Silverman's previous slow trance explorations, though it does display his trademark fondness for going to very quiet places. Through a polar silence comes a ringing metallic sound that fades off into contrapuntal, subsonic drones. A brief essay of percussives trails back into the liquid void. Features a unique vocal performance by EDWARD KA-SPEL.
