DISPLACER
MOON_PHASE
ALBUM M-TRONIC RELEASE: JANUARY, 2003 REVIEW: JUNE 5, 2003

Housed in a nice cardboard digipak, Displacer’s “Moon_Phase” looks more than inviting. And the content isn’t too bad either - ambient electronica, in a tradition that takes in both Tangerine Dream and Aphex Twin. But although well crafted and immaculately programmed, “Moon_Phase” has difficulties in reaching out and really touching the listener. As far as “ambient” as in background music goes, this works well. But it doesn’t reach my soul.
