Description:
Relatively hot on the heels of the already classic The Summit cdr (Gneiss Things) and Rapt for Liquid Minister c20 (Arbor), The Stairwell is Long Gone is yet another watershed for Steve, another mindfuckingly excellent synth tape in a year that’s already seen phenomenal showings from fellow travelers such as Infinity Window and Telecult Powers, and the completion of a long-pending trilogy of solo releases on Deception Island by the members of Emeralds.
The Stairwell finds Hauschildt eschewing the frigid, Michael Hoenig-esque endless marble maze vibes of Rapt in favor of gentle spring rain and a mildly dosed sunday drive across the local melancholy edifice, sky streaking with clouds of arpeggiated spun sugar during the room-levitating climax, backed with a chilled the fuck out post-Zuckerzeit ramble across a gigantic unfurled map. The sound of being the size of an ant on an enormous dining room table. Totally essential.
