Solo performers: Robert Rich, B. Lutmord. Recorded in 1994 & 1995. Regardless of the names above the title, the scary, omniscient tones and heart-stopping atmospheres of STALKER appear indelibly stamped with Lustmord's characteristic signature. Rich's geometric percussive networks are scarcely evident, and even his trademark chords and quagmires of "glurp" are in absentia. Nevertheless, the aesthetics behind this recording, and the challenges each musician apparently inspired in the other, pay off brilliantly. You can easily label this "dark ambient," and you'd be right. But the appellation is a vast understatement. A track such as "Hidden Refuge," alight with drone-like hesitancies and shifting winds blowing over barren, purgatorial dunes, is far too ambulatory to simply blend in to the surrounding environment. Like the film that is the album's namesake and inspiration, STALKER encourages you to actively explore its regions while simultaneously teasing you to passively resist.
