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

Home
by Warmthsupported by 7 fans who also own “Their Subtle Purpose”
A journey into the unknown hibernian landscape, blizzard and ice, wind and water, night and blissful day, distant pine trees and changing snow landscapes, on and on, walking and hoping for Home.

Ghost Dog
by Duff Egansupported by 7 fans who also own “Their Subtle Purpose”
A haunting,desolate set of dark ghostly movements.Track 2, a slight deviation from the aforementioned is like a trailer to an epic cinematic movie. It could very well stand alone as a long-form piece provided the addition of more key phrase elements.
