DESCRIPTION
==================
Any new talent with Steve Roach doing the mastering gets my attention, and it is easy to see why Steve agreed to be involved in Chad Kettering's INTO THE INFINITE. Kettering has a solid grasp on what it takes to make good music in the genre, ranging from dark ambient to floating space music. He is also not afraid to take chances, as evidenced on the opening track, "Breaking the Surface". While most of the disc is fairly accessible and readily likable, he gambles by placing the most adventurous sounds at the beginning. After some cool bells and female whispers, something like an out-of-tune trombone is followed by wailing male chanting. Frankly, my initial impression was not a good one, but he quickly overcomes this apparent misstep with some spacious warm synths, and from that point on there is scarcely a note out of place for the duration. "Mystic Mountains" is soaring and majestic without being overly sweet or melodramatic. There is an almost total fadeout in the middle, after which it changes to minimal ambience. It really sounds like two tracks, but no matter; both halves are quite good. "Humidity" is perfectly named, as it sounds like a warm, damp atmosphere put to music. Bird-like sounds chirp in the background. A metallic clang rings out to start "Into the Gate", a moodier darker piece that moves across a varied sonic landscape. The music seems familiar, with hints of everything from Giles Reaves to Vangelis to Steve Roach, but these influences and more are spun into Kettering's own musical vision. Chad Kettering is a welcome new sound in electronic ambient music. - Phil Derby, Electroambient Space, March 2008
