Review: Distant Images is Dang Khoa Chau's fourth release on Antinote. The LP is further proof that this Paris based musician has been progressing in the same direction, yet digging deeper. The label describes his process best themselves by stating that his music 'is constantly trying to reach a higher level of evanescence from one record to another'. A process which was further refined after a visit from Suzanne Kraft - who he recorded an album with and released only a mere few weeks ago via Jonny Nash's Melody As Truth imprint. Reaching similar heights on the splendid opener "Keyboard Study" with its shimmering digital synthesis textures before "Days Of Steam" dives deep into authentic exoticism - where oriental aesthetics and '80s synth presets collide wonderfully. Ending the release's journey is the lush title track, bridging the gap between new age and balearic with such grace.
