about
TCR returns with an album of quality ambient electronica that flows and engages like a series of intimate narratives.
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."

Solitude
by Fictions and Poeticssupported by 10 fans who also own “Their Subtle Purpose”
Oh mán, what an awesome release!! Well, it has to be for me, if I purchase an album that is only available as a download-version instead of CD/vinyl.. I always want to support the artist, but I just can’t help being hooked/addicted/product of my childhood, whatever you want to call it, to a physical album.. But albums like these..!, this is art, made with passion, majestic, and has all ingredients that I love about ambient/drone-music.. absolute MUST-HAVE!
