The Precious Dark by David Helpling and Eric "The" Taylor - Echoes May CD of the Month
The Echoes May CD of the Month is a deep trip into melodic ambience with The Precious Dark by David Helpling and Eric “the” Taylor. David you should know well. His three albums with Jon Jenkins were Echoes CD of the Month picks as were his last two solo albums, Rune and In. Eric “the” Taylor might be less well known to you but he is part of the quartet that makes up Dark Sky Alliance along with Helpling, Jerry Marotta and Rupert Greenall. He’s also in the duo Architects of Existence and has several solo releases. Helpling and Taylor have gotten together on an epic new album called The Precious Dark. It’s a release that moves from electronic orchestral dynamism to deep ambience, and might be asking the question, are you afraid of the dark? Weaving synthesizer moods, ambient guitar and sometimes epic sonic architecture it’s an album that takes you on a journey. John Diliberto enters The Precious Dark on the next Echoes from PRX.
