Three-Six (36) – Pulse Dive
EP/DIGITAL DOWNLOAD, 3Six Records, 2015

The ambient work of Dennis Huddleston has always been intriguing to my ears, which again proves to be the case for his EP “Pulse Dive”.
The title track kicks things off rather energetically in a TD-like “Love on a real train” style, though less melodic. A closer listen reveals the lingering beauty hovering between the minimal waveforms.

Melancholy sets in on the 6-minute “Stasis Eject”, which the composer refers to as a somber, ultra-introspective composition. Its ethereal, darker character paired with a pleasant sense of loneliness and the feeling of being lost pleased me a lot. To make it even better, “Stasis Eject (Version)” is added as a bonus in a 12-minute alternative/extended remix on the digital edition of the Ep. Intimate spherics lead the way on the closing piece “Sky Fire”, a lush dwelling that’s emotionally and atmospherically charged to the brim.

If 36’s full-length “Dream Tempest” was up your alley, make sure you don’t miss out on this fine EP.
