♫♪  Norm Chambers - “Luminous Technology”

The last we heard from Norm Chambers (a.k.a. Panabrite), he’d taken part in the sprawling, ambitious Dynasty At Ghost Town tape collection. His contribution, Tracer, was a succinct summation of his musical career to date: lush analogue synth work that was equal parts “library music,” trippy kosmische excursions, and mellow ambient bliss. Remaining true to his prolific manner, Chambers follows up that tape with yet another, this time on the esteemed VCO Recordings imprint. Sensory Margin (released under his own name) is described as “a concise collection of similarly-minded themes and moods for non-existent films,” and that descriptor is especially apt on “Luminous Technology.” The inclusion of a crisp beat on top of the heady synth work is a nice touch, as it lends the tune a propulsive drive. Stream below, and be sure to check out the Bandcamp pages of both Panabrite and VCO Recordings, whose respective discographies are very much worth digging into.
