Italian electro-acoustic expert and ambient composer Giulio Aldinucci has released some masterful music over the years, in the process delivering albums full of hybrid neo-classical/ambient soundscapes that often seem to look to religious music - or at least the sense of hearing it echoing around a cathedral - for inspiration. "Shard Of Different Times" continues this trend, with manipulated choral tones, reverb-laden church organs, swelling ambient chords and hissing white noise combining to create wall-of-sound pieces that do, indeed, sound like echoes from a bygone age. It's impressive stuff all told and reminded us a little of the 33-minute ambient version of Moby classic "Hymn".
