One of the earlier pieces to surface was the mesmerising Dronescape “Garden”, which features Sarah Sarhandi on viola. “It's nothing like my usual material”, Robert Logan reveiled on an online forum, “and it might not be everybody's cup of tea.” Reactions were mostly extremely positive however and most of “The Sublime”’s first disc follows in a similar trajectory, with the concluding Death and After (with Francis Logan on violin) a cross reference to “The Garden”.
It is the second disc, which might cause some disturbance, opening with foggy dark ambient draperies, extending into tribal Steve Roach territory on “Shards” and only coming full-circle with the consoling aftermath of “The Beautiful”. The “confrontational Aphex Twin style rhythms” are nowhere to be found on the MP3 extracts provided by the label, but even though these pieces are clearly aligned by a common atmospheric denominator, the variety Logan is able to award to his material is impressive.
