AMENTI SUNCROWN :
zenith pitch
Cover by Gary Ayres
Amenti Suncrown's debut album zenith pitch was released in 2001 amid considerable critical acclaim. It was originally released as a full colour digipack CD in a limited edition of 1000.. It is no longer available in its original form, but can be purchased here as a CDR with colour inserts.
'....Amenti Suncrown are so distinctive because they're the Krell Musicians from Forbidden Planet: "Ethically, as well as technologically, a million years ahead of humankind!" Although the latter may certainly be true, it is a quirky alien sound that seems to me to be emerging from the heart of this musical project: difficult to get a handle on emotionally, but hauntingly suggestive of strange landscapes of pure thought, of which this often enigmatic music is the sole remaining artefact....I like this album, and I like what Amenti Suncrown seem to be striving for.'
'Dark, uneasy ambient music fills the air like the humming of distant bells, like metallic trumpets, droning and sparkling. A didgeridoo, sampling, tapes, "industrial artefacts" and aboriginal clapsticks...add their voices amidst the melee...this varied, thoughtful and exquisitely produced album has a real spirituality to it, encased in a gleaming, glowing futuristic shroud of electronic wizardry...Mighty.'
