about
Distilled from a proposed double album, Their Subtle Purpose is the culmination of 2 years work. Hauntingly moody, the album is suffused with subtle rhythms and melodies that wander like misplaced spirits. Flow, craftsmanship, detail, and a deeply engaging, delicate beauty that draws you in to its soundworlds and curious passageways. Sure to be enjoyed by all fans of intelligent and listenable ambient.
NOTE: This release is a personal favourite of the artist.
"TCR's stock-in-trade is this kind of rich retooling of classic e-music - deep, often pulsating tracts, punctuated by suggestive samples, treatments, and sundry peripheral micro-incursion."
Alan Lockett - igloo mag
"Kerby's talent shines brightly in ambient circles, and I have no doubt that if he keeps releasing discs like this, that it won't be long before his name is included with the best of the genre.
rik - Ping Things
"... meandering, wistful, fragile and beautiful, and the rhythms seem far more subtle than on previous efforts. Seems like a combination of Circular Ruins and the slower tracks of Lammergeyer."
Joe Rygwelski - Hypnos Forum

Dreaming Spaces
by Max Corbachosupported by 8 fans who also own “Their Subtle Purpose”
Listening to almost any Max Corbacho album, esp. of the last 5-6 years, makes 90% of the ambient music available on Bandcamp sound like cartoons. While Corbacho aspires to emulate his musical heroes, the pioneers of “desert ambient” and drone/em, that in no way takes away from the distinctiveness of his own musical voice. As on this album, where he creates beatless-but-subtly-rhythmic waves that are soothing and every bit as effective, and beautiful, as Steve Roach’s “immersion zone” releases.
