| Lampse AudioVisual Recordings:Septs Vents (2350 words) |
| "Troarn" is a high water mark in Norris' musical career and easily one of the finest pieces on Septs Vents. |
| In fact, spacious doesn’t really fit the bill; vast is probably a far better word to describe tracks such as ‘Troarn’ a track that, in particular, has an amazing sense of depth and reminded me of Vangelis (this reinforces my sci-fi associations no doubt). |
| The aforementioned ‘Carhaix Nonant’ is lovely; it’s the least ‘dense’ track on the album, the simple, clean melody is not submerged beneath layers of sound (unlike a lot of the tracks on the album which seem sort of nebulous with no one sound standing out); instead it forms the focal point. |
