It’s quite a feat to create an album that is not only haunting, but uncompromisingly beautiful and utterly serene.
-
Because no other act really sounds like Labradford, which matches its Ennio Morricone-style melodies and analog synths with a sense of menace missing from most ambient music, it's forgivable that only subtle distinctions differentiate one recording from the next.

Simple, subtle, and quite beautiful, the 37-minute album rewards during deep concentration and as use for background.

Fixed Context is a prime example of mutable sound, which is to say, songs that are less about structure than direction.
-
If ever an album rewarded repeated listening, it's this one.
