The DiN releases Box of Secrets,Distant Rituals,Outpost, Art of Sacrifice and Blaze continue to be worth extolling, as the ideas they contain are remarkable and unique in history. Setting these titles as reference points, Ian Boddy has reconceived and reworked each to produce the five 30 minute experiments presented on DiN Reimagined Volume 1 (158:05). This impeccably crafted batch of reconstructions have been dropping periodically over the years, for people in the know(Boddy's Patreon subscribers), and are collected now in this first of a new series. Though all tracks are rooted in a previous DiN designation, Boddy sees the aforementioned albums as reference points - reconsidering the music and intentions of the earlier version, in a transformation of markedly different artistic outcomes. Suppressed beneath a midnight of softly burning dreams listeners delve into chill currents - emerging beyond the control of known forces. In direct connection to lower levels of thought electronic textures and tones expend their force in an atmosphere of searching. Falling through darkness notes collide, collude and combine. Moments pass in a ramble of melody, a flight of timbre, a search of harmony. Chords, moving in contrary motion suggest a scene, create a mood - fashioning a world that may be real, but not representative of reality. Hallucinatory and fragmentary, these impressionistic aural images are the product of a particularly astute re-interpretation and refinement of the original recordings. Commanding a range of technologies and mechanisms Boddy has here realized a pentad of surreal, dreamlike sonic experiences - which manage to acknowledge their sources, while emphasizing a distinctive craftsmanship, inventiveness and personality. DiN Reimagined Volume 1 offers a sound collage that moves well within the painstakingly detailed shades and hues of Ambient Music. In such cerebral Spacemusic, even when challenged by dissonance we hear a unity in the arrangement and the message it conveys.
