The Balustrade Ensemble are a different proposition altogether. In September 2007, Dynamophone Records unveiled the lavish "steampunk" ambient sounds of Capsules, the group's debut, upon an unsuspecting music world. (Steampunk is a movement interested in exploring the Fantasy/Sci-Fi ideas of authors like H.G Wells and Jules Verne, worlds where anachronistic technologies exist.) Two tracks were contributed to a recent Dynamophone sampler: “Tangle in Delirium” is a ghostly passage with tantalizing pedal steel echoes and arctic guitar slides that point to a Victorian influence; “The Drowning Calm”, meanwhile, recalls some sinister aspects of Walter/Wendy Carlos’ “A Clockwork Orange” score, a film based on an Anthony Burgess novel, that can be defined by inconceivable technological inventions that defy the timeframe. Currently, the group is preparing to record its second full-length, working again in close collaboration with engineer Scott Solter, which it hopes to release in 2010. Read more on Last.fm.
