What sort of person do you have to be to enjoy instrumental music? A scientist perhaps, or a mathematician? A late night raver, a DJ or a drum n’ bass fiend?
In order to feel a true, deep-seated love for instrumental music you have to have a very acute music taste. Instrumental music is like meditation for the ears; it is the bare bones of music and a whole different level of entertainment.
Run Silent, Run Deep is the second EP from Producer Andy Smith a.k.a Dialog>. He has been compared to Orbital and Underworld and while there are similarities there, Dialog> seems to be missing the enchantment found in the records of his contemporaries. There are moments on Run Silent, Run Deep that will really catch your attention but the majority of the EP fails to entertain and will leave the listener disappointed.
To be successful, instrumental music needs to truly blow you away and there can’t be any part of the listener left unaffected by the sound. Run Silent, Run Deep is a good but limp effort from Dialog>.
