about this album
G Mag (Spain): "Great... this work which definitely confirms his position among the largest names in ambient. And that album is "Below sea level" Ears Lend: "Simon Scott's Below Sea Level package for 12k is one of the year's (2012) key releases - not just a stand-out album of glowingly warm, densely textured excursions into landscape & memory, but also a hugely impressive 80-page book of thoughts & photography that bid to shore up an increasingly fragile environment, if only by expressionist preservation". Fluid Radio: "Below Sea Level -The music here is rather magnificent that’s true, but is so much more than the evocative collection of environmental field recordings, luminous drones and ephemeral guitars found on this record. Below Sea Level is above all a project where Scott reconnects with his own childhood while exploring the natural and sonic environment of the Fens, a marshy region in eastern England. The project is documented by a superb 80-page hardcover journal entitled “An Exploration of the Subterranean Fenland Environment”. The Liminal: "Astonishing... The music and the 80 page book combine to document the Fenlands and give you a chance to hear a landscape that is almost forgotten about. We return to the fact that the Fens have never really been championed as a place, either by being captured in art or by being used as a form of inspiration for it".
