As Lonely as Dave Bowman’s POD reminds me of the Halloween I spent at  Whitby in England.  Specifically: walking along the cliffs, listening to the crash of the waves as they broke across the shore at night.  POD has the same sort of feeling to it; comprised of lengthy tracks of electronic ambient texture, the album ebbs and flows without cessation.  Minimal, yet moving.  Massive, yet with deep subtly.  Though I know that As Lonely As Dave Bowman’s focus here is on the vast limitlessness of space (Dave Bowman is a character in the Space Odyssey films), I just can’t shake the terrestrial memories this dredges up.  It reminds me of a perfect, dark time, left behind, never to be reclaimed.
