Record of the Week: Dark Strands – Unknown Truths
Unknown Truths is the debut album from Tony Beardsley (aka Dark Strands). What can be said about this album… for one, it is a body of work that has been crafted as a labour of love with sources of inspiration taken from the late 80’s underground warehouse parties and clubs where no one speed or style of music was played… curve balls as they say, was a good thing. Ambitious maybe… but the only aim of the album was to actually not to have one. No one genre or concept can be applied, but this is not by design, purely accidental as the music weaves between various electronic strands and rhythm forms. Its fair to say that his music has not been compromised to follow latest trends or fashion. It is for everyone, but no one. It’s only true purpose is to liberate senses and provide a lasting sonic soundtrack to the modern age.
