Seattle’s Crystal Hell Pool (aka Chris Majerus) creates beatless music that eludes the usual trappings of new age mollification and dark ambient’s default horror-flick-score tropes—a very difficult feat to achieve. On his Incantation to Nothingness CD, Crystal Hell Pool delves deeply into the sonic abyss, as the title hints, and dredges up murkily luminous tones that intrigue through barely perceptible gradations in emphasis.
